Neck pain may signal end for Mets' Valentin
2008-03-18 15:07:00 Jose Valentin's career is threatened by what he suspects are disks pinching a nerve in his neck. Valentin indicated he feels pain "like someone sticking a knife in you," which causes discomfort to radiate down his right arm. Although the New York Mets haven't committed to sending Valentin to New York, he expects to head there soon to receive an injection of antiinflammatory medication, which did the trick with similar discomfort when he played for the White Sox. Even if that calms the situation and Valentin avoids surgery, he doesn't figure he'll have enough at-bats to be ready to break camp with the team, or to have convinced the team to carry him. Valentin, who is on a minor-league contract, has been willing to begin the season in Triple-A if he's not fully recovered from surgery to repair a torn ACL. At 38 years old, however, he's not inclined to endure another extensive medical procedure.
