Rotation
Pedro’s First Spring Start
Everyone is making a big deal about Pedro Martinez having started his first spring training game yesterday.
Anna Benson Gets Kris Traded… Again… Maybe
The Mets traded starting pitcher Kris Benson to the Orioles for Jorge Julio and John Maine yesterday. Benson’s wife, Anna, had some things to say about it, as usual. Here’s a sampling:
The Continuing Saga of Pedro’s Toe
According to an AP report Pedro Martinez‘s right toe is still in pain. Am I the only one troubled by this?
Trachsel to the Pen?
I said last week that I didn’t think the Mets 6 man rotation would last too long. It seems like it’s going to end sooner than even I thought it would. Several reports have Steve Trachsel moving to the bullpen since the team has scheduled VÃctor Zambrano to start Friday in Florida. Very odd timing […]
Trachsel Joins Six Man Rotation
Steve Trachsel was activated from the DL yesterday ending what seemed to be an endless rehab assignment. It was also announced that he will be part of a six man rotation getting his first start Friday night between Pedro Martinez and Kris Benson. The six man rotation is not a bad idea this time of […]
The Wright Call?
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. How far out of the baseline can a player go without being called out? Second base umpire Jeff Nelson showed us last night. With one out in the eighth inning and the bases loaded Doug Mientkiewicz hit the ball to Braves first baseman Julio Franco who […]

Benson on the DL
Looks like I made an accidental prophecy this morning regarding Kris Benson‘s injury. I mentioned this morning how injuries like Benson’s strained muscle can turn into nagging ones over the course of the season if not treated properly. Rather than pitch through it the Mets decided to put Benson on the DL (hence treating the […]
Benson Pushed
Number 3 starter Kris Benson felt tightness during a bullpen session the other day and will have his first regular season start pushed to Saturday against the Atlanta (he was originally schedule to pitch Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds). Everyone is downplaying the injury and it probably is nothing but I always worry about people […]
