I'm sure handling tendonitis with a pitcher can be handled much more conventionally since it's symptoms and cures are well known and documented Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:17:28 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/16/health-pelfreys-forearm-now-what/#IDComment18851740 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/16/health-pelfreys-forearm-now-what/#IDComment18851266 Wouldn't that be an unnecessary overload on Stokes this early on in the season? If it's only one game it probably wouldn't hurt to just call someone up Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:05:11 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/16/health-pelfreys-forearm-now-what/#IDComment18851266 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/16/health-pelfreys-forearm-now-what/#IDComment18851221 so what is the process with getting him to the MLs then (I have to admit I am not very up on the process). Do they have to purchase the contract from Buffalo? Is there anyway to get him to the Majors without him having to pass through waivers?

Got it.

I mean I understand that it makes sense not to wait a week but would it be a good idea for them to bring up Niese or Gee this soon?

He could probably get through 6 innings and atleast keep the Mets in the game. He looked good in ST Thu, 16 Apr 2009 13:20:15 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/16/health-pelfreys-forearm-now-what/#IDComment18849499 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/16/quote-manuel-on-oliver-on-perezs-outing/#IDComment18848661 Maybe this is what Dan Warthen, Jerry and Ollie discussed between starts...concentrating on keeping hitters off balance rather than just blow fastballs by them?

This also would take pressure off the Nieses and Gees of the world.

What if he starts Sheff instead of Murphy tonight instead...just to get a new lineup out there? I would be interested to see how Castillo hits in the two hole for a couple of nights. It can't hurt to try this once early on.As far as Church goes, you're right. He does need to be out there simply because of his glove. How can you say this is going against winning? It's just something different Wed, 15 Apr 2009 13:00:35 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/15/news-sheffield-should-play-tonight/#IDComment18779664
