I was hoping he would have another winning day, but that was not going to
happen.
Unfortunate. Obviously, there is a trend here for a 15-win Pitcher. I suppose
we will see a
peaks and valley performance from him this season as we had last season. Still,
having a
Pitcher with 15 wins is not all that bad. I am wishing/hoping that John Maine
improves with
a show of 17-18 wins, and Pedro Martinez finishes with at least 12. I won't
jinx it by
predicting what Johan Santana will bring to the table. Awesome is the only word
I can think
of to describe him. If the batting in the 6-8 hole can get on base, Johan may
record RBI
totals that will baffle statisticians. More power to him.
The Phillies will test them, this I can say with confidence. Mets pitching will
see more of
Shane Victorino this season. Ryan Howard is upset about his new contract, and
Jimmy
Rollins isn't talking. Wise that, I suppose.

i think john maine is good fit in the #2 spot for the mets behind santana. he will get 30 starts this season and 25 of those will be of quality. he will finish...
I would love to see Peltry in the rotation. Frankly, I had expected him there last year. This year, he is struggling with confidence. There is no other way...
the more i think about it the more i believe that the mets should have been a bit more patient with brian bannister-he is becoming a solid starter for the...
i would not like to see Hernandez in the rotation because he is always hurt and is never there anyway the mets need to get younger in there rotation not older....
The No. 5 starter looks to be a problem. Aside from Pelfrey's supposed lack of confidence, El Duque is starting out too slow for my taste, as we are moving...
the angels, tigers, & twins seem to have pitching-rich farm systems as do the marlins, maybe the mets could trade or purchase a young arm or 2 from one of...
it seems el duque will have the 5th spot in the rotation, but will his body hold thru the all-star break? will he have a short leash? will we see jorge sosa...
i dont think we will see either pelfrey or sosa for an extended period this season if el duque gets hurt i see the mets trading for a pitcher by all star...
I just heard that Mike Pelfrey is starting as the No. 5. I believe Hernandez is still considered for the starting position, but for reasons only the front...
elduque is on the dl and jorge sosa is only good for 10-12 quality starts...where is brian bannister when we need him? oh i remember he is the #2 starter for...
Don't remind me of Bannister. I freaked when I heard he had been traded. I'm not saying that I know more than those who have dedicated their lives to...
Unfortunately, young arms don't always pay off the way we would like. At this point in the season, getting someone reliable to plug that hole; another left...
