picture-2.png ESPN’s Jayson Stark’s list of “Impact Injuries” places the combination of Pedro Martinez and El Duque fifth.

Stark quotes a scout,

“You add the loss of those two guys to the inconsistency of [Mike] Pelfrey, and I’ll tell you what it does,” said one scout. “It really puts a lot of pressure on Santana. This is a team lacking in starting-pitching depth. So getting as much as they can out of those two guys is critical to the Mets. And I don’t know how much they’ll get.”

I think it’s all about Ollie, if he pitches well the Mets starting pitching will be fine. It’s not like there’s a ton of teams that go four or five deep with their starting staffs.
