Medical Bills

The Mets are making some surgeons rich this off season, especially Carlos Delgado:

Delgado had surgery on his right wrist because of carpal tunnel syndrome. Lo Duca had an operation to repair a ligament tear in his left thumb. Heilman underwent surgery for tennis elbow on his throwing arm, and the right-handed Woodward had a torn labrum in his left shoulder repaired.

Left fielder Cliff Floyd is scheduled to have surgery Wednesday on his left Achilles' tendon. Right-hander Roberto Hernandez is scheduled to have surgery on his right knee the same day.

Delgado is set to have surgery again next Monday to repair tennis elbow in his right arm.

There's going to be a lot of scar comparisons in the clubhouse come spring training.

Ah yes, I guess it would be an understatement to say th Mets were slightly banged up this year (not to mention Beltran's abdominal tear and the various season ending injuries on the pitching staff).

What teams weren't banged up this year? They were beaten by the Cards who had lost their 2nd starter (Mulder) and stopper (Izzy) with Edmonds concussed for a huge portion of the year.

Every team suffers injuries. The Twins lost their entire starting OF during a 1 week span in the middle of the year.

Roberto Hernandez is still in the league?
