With this Mets team once again built on pitching, the fear continues to be that one of these pitchers will suffer an injury.  An even bigger fear is that injury will require Tommy John surgery.  This usually means a pitcher is gone for over a year, and as we have seen with Jeremy Hefner and Bobby Parnell, it is not an easy road back, nor is it a guarantee the pitcher will return to form.  That is why the route Seth Maness has chosen is so important to the Mets and all of baseball.  It creates the possibility that a player can return in-season rather than missing over a year.

Can you name the Mets currently on the 40 man roster who have undergone Tommy John surgery?  Good luck!
