He wont pitch the whole year this year. and andy did take some games off last year because of his elbow.
Ha, two of the best posts I've seen in my short period of being a poster here. Nice Pennythetowelboy.
I consider pedro old because of his elbow, if he had no elbow problems he would be considered getting there. As you know older guys with occuring injuries will always come up again. The age and injuries arent favorable. Randy had no such injury and is an elite pitcher, therefore he can still have a great year like he will have this year. We have 2 old pitchers in the starting rotation...mets have?
^and that has to do with his elbow in what capacity? I think a athlete can handle no cartilage in the knee, then an elbow injuriy being that they are PITCHERS.
Pitchers use their legs. Are you nuts? Pedro has a Labrum problem which is his shoulder, homie. Better ask somebody rog, and quit acting the fool.
Regardless of how old they are. Just understand the fact that the Mets and Yankees top 3 starters are either old or have had health problems. The bottom half of the rotation are questionable.
No Randy has back problems which affected what he did last year, and being 43 I bet you it will happen again, Moose is 37 and has been just about average for the last 2 years, and then it is question marks galore with Chacon who was terrible until last year, who knows if he will maintain it when the league gets to see him again, and Wang with injury problems and Wright who also was terrible, and if Torre lets him out of his cage Small who is just as big a question mark as the rest. And you forgot to mention that both RJ and Moose is at least 2 years older than the rest of the Mets staff
Because 1) the current management has tried to get rid of everyone from the previous regime, 2) they didnt want to give him 4 years, they don't give ANY pitcher 4 years, not even 25 year old Papelbon, and 3) the Mets made a better offer.
Randys problems can be fixed with a cortizone shot he is not kevin brown, he has rested..pedro will have problems mark my words.... And i know they use their legs but in all honesty the only thing that would stop them from pitching is if its a groin injury.. Any other gets a cortizone shot. Randy will have a good year..didnt say he will pitch the whole year, but will have a good year. Pedro wont. Wait and see.
But pedro has the body of a jr HS girl so he breaks down alot, he'll NEVER be able to pitch into his 40's like Clemens & Johnson.
