The Sad Tale of Matt Harvey
If you're a Mets fan, or just a fan of great baseball, the news that Matt Harvey probably needs Tommy John surgery comes as devastating news. He is unquestionably the team's most valuable property, and now he may miss the entire 2014 season.
It's strange, because last month the Mets tried going to a six man rotation to take some of the wear and tear off their starting pitching. So what was the result? Three of the six pitchers- Harvey, Hefner, and Mejia- are facing arm surgery. What's going on here?
Doesn't it seem like the more these guys are pampered, with watchful pitch counts and inning limits, the more they are getting hurt?
