Thor actually threw 200 innings in 2015, counting his postseason work. It further makes that point that the one positive from this year is that the big four go into 2017 with rested arms. If the narrative going into 2016 was how they would be diminished by their workload from the previous season, shouldn’t the narrative be the opposite now?

Not sure it works that way if they end the season on the DL

I don’t understand this. The bone spur surgery don’t pose much risk at he will likely have it grow and will need it taken out at some point why don’t now?

I agree it makes no sense, just have it done and get it over with

From my limited understanding of physiology, bone spurs aren’t always bad, they’re the body’s way of adapting to a repetitive motion (like throwing) and may not always need to be corrected. But of course I could be wrong.

I’ll set the over/under for innings from Noah/Harvey/Degrom/Matz/Wheeler at 650
24TheKid
Definitely under, no doubt about that.
McGlynnandjuice
650 seems reasonable. They’ll probably get close to 175 a piece from Syndergaard and at least one of the other 4. Then the other 3 would only need to pitch 100 innings a piece

Actually Noah threw 199 if that makes a difference lol. ((2015))

The two keys for the Mets next season is signing Cespedes and the health of their pitching. The Mets over pitched the young arms to get to the world series and they may have to pay for it I think that Matz and Harvey are the biggest question marks.
chesteraarthur
really? Wheeler hasn’t pitched in what, 2 years?

There are a couple of reasons why the Doctors may be reluctant to remove the spur. Remove too much bone,and the elbow will try and extend further than in the past causing stress on tendons supporting the elbow (Tommy John). Another reason is once a spur is removed or shaved down, the body tends to generate more spurs and the new one may cause more trouble than the one that was shaved down. A large percentage of pitchers in the ML have bone spurs. The spurs that are left behind are causing little to no structural damage to the joint. They might be causing inflammation in the joint that usually is controlled with anti inflammatories. The best surgery is always no surgery.

Completely agree with this. The only time I’ve seen players opting for surgery for bone spurs are when the spur is actually causing damage to the ligament. Having surgery just to have it can lead to other issues which could be worse than the spur.

This talented/injury prone group are starting to remind me of Generation K consisting of Bill Pulsipher, Jason Isringhausen and Paul Wilson. They where hyped and really good but all hurt with in 1 year.
woodhead1986
that is an unbelievably terrible comparisson. Every one of the Mets current crop of starters has had good to excellent seasons. Generation K were terrible as starters, and 2/3 barely threw any MLB innings at all,
usafcop
I agree with woodhead….only Jason Isringhausen of that group had success and that was as a closer….the other 2 were nothing more than 4th starters if that….the Mets group now all have had some success and are set to have productive careers….

BLASPHAMY!
Actually I see the point but Generation K never had the start that these youngsters did. As a wise man once said – potential means you haven’t done it yet
staypuft
Pretty unfair comparison tbh… generation K never went to the World Series, and it’s not like these guys have been terrible. A few of them have been pretty good actually.
