As a Mets fan I am no longer able to trust team management. For me Bobby Parnell's injury was the last straw and finally did-away with all the trust I had in the likes of Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins.
What was particularly egregious about the Parnell situation was the clear dishonesty coming from the Mets front office. When a pitcher who normally throws triple-digits is sitting at ninety miles-per-hour he is clearly not healthy or "fine"despite the fans being told so. After Parnell blew a save opportunity in his first outing with such a performance, it "became clear" that he had a ligament tear in his right and pitching elbow. He has since been placed on the 15-day disabled list (MetsBlog).
In telling fans Parnell was healthy, what Collins and Alderson did was eliminate any form of trust that fans had in them. Saying he was fine told us to have no more faith in what management tells us. The blatant lies have ruined my optimistic view that this team management had the club in the right direction--and have only added to the list of cases displaying their inability to handle injuries effectively.
