So apparently El Duque has a ligament and arthritis problem in is his right foot that will prevent him from using his high-leg-kick pitching motion ever again.

This is another bummer from Mets camp. There's no way he'll be the same pitcher. He's still crafty (that comes from being 45 years old and knowing how to escape from Cuba) but he isn't as deceptive. I'm guessing he is in the bullpen by midseason.
What are bunions and how do people get them?
