El duque

Potentially bad news about El Duque. He needs to undergo shoulder tests, and may have problems. Given how well and consistently he's pitched this year it would be an understatement to say we can't afford to lose him from our rotation. That said, did anyone honestly believe given his age and freak injuries both at the end of last year and in spring training this year that he would make it through the whole season? I certainly hope the Mets weren't planning on getting full, uninterrupted seasons from both Glavine and El Duque - that's really expecting a lot at their ages.
