Brad Lidge Re-injures knee


Brad Lidge
reinjured his knee while throwing batting practice today.

This is a very bad sign. If this is, in fact, a serious injury then I would have to assume that Brett Myers will again become closer. This would also put us back at square one as far as the rotation is concerned. Even if this is just a minor injury, the question still remains: will Lidge be able to make it through a full season? With questions already lingering about his ability to be the shut down closer he once was, injuries are the last thing Lidge needs right now. Lidge's health and effectiveness are of huge importance to the success of this team and his loss could have potentially serious ramifications for both the bullpen AND the starting rotation.

Re: Brad Lidge Re-injures knee
I don't quite know what to say.  This certainly puts a damper on spring training.  If he is significantly injured, the entire season sort of goes down the drain in my opinion, seeing as I feel the Mets are already 5-6 games better than the Phillies.
