Maybe Somebody Different Needs To Be Catching Mike Pelfrey, Maybe Mike Nickeas?

Funny, what with all the headlines that Ronny Paulino made during the spring for not being able to play, I had no idea who the backup catcher was till I just checked out the Mets roster and saw that it's Mike Nickeas...Mike Nickeas?!? Exactly.

Bottom line, if as reported, Pelfrey and Josh Thole aren't seeing eye-to-eye on pitch selection and whatever else than something needs to be done and quick because with Johan Santana out, we need to figure out what's wrong with Big Pelf...like now. To think, one of the few bright spots to come out of the 2010 Mets was the stellar defensive play of Henry Blanco...so of course we got rid of him. That said, either Ronny Paulino comes back quick and does it or Mike Nickeas has to starting catching Pelfrey. It's your move Terry Collins.
