Since some members of the peanut gallery started barking that I didn't get a chance to mention this, I offer you my admittedly late perspective on John Maine's injury and Eddie Kunz's major league debut.
Rotator cuff injuries = very, very, very bad
Eddie Kunz = not ready
Happy?
I have to assume Kunz will only be here temporarily, as the Mets will need a starter for Maine's turn in the rotation and no one in the bullpen is capable of making a spot start. There are whispers that Jon Niese will get the assignment, making Omar Minaya's transparent attempts to make his prospects look like major-league caliber players in in full swing. No one is buying it. The only people he's fooling are wildly optimistic Mets fans.
Let's take a look at the active roster now:
