Everyone knows that Madritch now has a torn ligament in his throwing arm. But now one of the M's pitchers who has a past with injuries says he will be pushed back a day due to elbow stiffness/sore right arm in his first two starts, yep you guessed it Meche. It might be to early to say Meche could miss more time, but due to his history of injuries it's defiantly something to be warry of. It could also explain why after he starts off fine, he can't hold it into the 4th/5th innings.
Oh yeah and if they continue with these injuries, they will have no other choice really but to bring up Felix somewhat soon.
Hernandez will get hurt, too. As a Mariners fan, I know how this works, by now. Ryan Anderson was finally released, Randy Johnson was only free of back problems once he left, and every other good pitcher we've ever had has been hurt.
It's not as if our pitchers are pitching too often. They don't pitch any more than any other young arms. And our med staff is pretty much average. We just have something around here that causes recurring injuries.
Your wisemen don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick...

Remember Roger Salkeld(sp?)? Another Mariner prospect pitcher that never pitched much due to career ending injuries. Not sure how much of this you can pin on the Ms as opposed to bad luck.
