The article discusses recent injuries to several players during Spring Training, highlighting how injuries have a disproportionate impact depending on timing and team depth. Frankie Montas's lat and Nick Madrigal's shoulder injuries raise concerns, especially with Sean Manaea's oblique injury being particularly troubling for the Mets. The author emphasizes the importance of roster alternatives, as the Mets have a significant number of players in camp, and highlights the need for depth during this uncertain period of preparations for the season.
All injuries come at the wrong time. All injuries are unfortunate. Some come at a worse time than others. Aesthetically, Spring is a bad time for injuries.
If you lose for a while a player who rates as replaceable...well, let's not treat human beings as commodities if we can help ourselves.
Montas goes down for a while? Good thing we have pitching depth. Manaea goes down, likely for less while, but still a while? The depth isn't as deep.
We have 68 guys in camp; plus there are a couple of familiar fellows out there who are still unengaged by any organization.
