Scar tissue? Or structural damage? That's the thought that had to be going through the mind of GM Omar Minaya this morning when the club decided to fly Duaner Sanchez back to NYC for a 
"precautionary" MRI of his surgically repaired right shoulder. Sanchez had to be shut down after only 11 pitches on Thursday, but the initial diagnosis attributed the "popping" sensation as nothing more than the breaking apart of scar tissue from his Aug. 1 surgery. That may still be the case. The Mets just want to be sure.
"He said he felt better than yesterday," Minaya said. "But we said let's be conservative and get the information. Let's get him to New York and get him looked at."
The Mets had hoped Sanchez would be ready by mid-April, but Thursday's setback will delay him for another two weeks, at least.

Another set back has taken place for Duaner and the need for a second operation. Now, the timetable is projected as August. The reliver states, "It's frustrating because I'm feeling like I'm letting my teammates down. I was getting close to getting everything ready and everything just falls down. It's frustrating."
Duaner, your letting the team down occurred earlier this Spring. It appears as though all is forgiven. There are a few bits of advice about the second surgery: get it done and get back! Between the two events - WORK!
