More Pitching Problems

Sergio Mitre suffered elbow problems today:

With Josh Johnson and Anibal Sanchez still sidelined for the foreseeable future, Mitre is expected to be leaned on a lot this season, anchoring the Marlins' young staff of hurlers. A tight elbow in February is bad news. Mitre is also coming off of a season in which the injury bug bit him quite a bit. In 2007, he spent time on the DL with a blister on his throwing hand, missed a start with a bad hamstring and was shut down at the end of the season due to fatigue.

"I don't know what else I have to go through," a frustrated Mitre said. "We'll see."

I wonder how many starters the Marlins are going to end up using this season.

Maybe they can use this as a promotion: "Buy a ticket, and you could be today's starting pitcher!"
