Dre180 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 i think it should and probably will look like this: 1) glavine 2) el duque 3) maine 4) perez 5) pelfrey i know a lot of you guys probably want to see humber get a shot, but i don't think he's ready yet. i want him to compile a lot of innings in the minors, and show me he can handle the workload injury free. as for glavine and el duque, i think we pretty much know what we're gonna get out of them. maine remains an enigma to me, as i don't think he'll be as good as last year, but i still think he'll be solid enough. one thing i noticed about him was his ability to breeze through the lineup the first time around, however only the first time he saw them, which is why he rarely seemed to go deep into the game. to me that says eventually his value will be greater in the bullpen, as we are able to fill out our staff. as for perez, i think he will be VERY up and down. i don't think he'll just revert to his rookie form and blow people away, like many met fans are hoping for. i don't really see a middle ground for this guy, yet that is...i think he'll either be very good, or very bad. pelfrey, we'll have to wait and see. just like humber, he hasn't had a lot of time in minor league ball, and i think that he needs to mature a lot and really develop second and third pitches he is comfortable with, to throw in any situation, before we can see his true potential. that being said, i still expect big things from this kid in the future. i still feel he should be in the rotation however, because if there is ever a time to bring a young guy up and not put too much pressure on him, it is now, with a lineup like this. he doesn't have to be great, he just has to improve as the season progresses. don't forget how much time guys like cole hamels spent in the minors before they were called up, so i often feel that is an unfair comparison. i think we will be seeing a lot of 6-4 type games this year , which is fine, i just hope this staff can be real solid come playoff time. what are your thoughts?

Blue Jeans Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I probably would have preferred Williams in there for Pelfrey, but he's hurt. So I agree with your rotation and your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Glavine Hernandez Maine Perez Pelfrey or Humber Xfactors for insurance and when El Duque spends his time on the DL and or misses starts mid season: Sele, Williams, Sosa or possibly even Soler(who has lost 20 pounds and has more srm strenght back they say). Like I have said, get to mid season, hopefully get Pedro back healthy, assess the trade market and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sucked his last few starts up but he's still young and worthy of a spot start. You might also want to put Jason Vargas on your insurance list.

Never know maybe all Peterson needs is another 5 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in favor of Zambrano coming back under a minor league deal for that reason, but the Mets signed Sele instead and Zambrano signed with Toronto.

BTW I was kidding with Zambrano. He actually is the one guy that peterson was unable to make better. see, Perez, Maine, Mota(that and roids ), Bradford(had his most successful years with Peterson both as a NYM and A's), DAve Williams, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateb Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I have a feeling Sosa may surprise us to start the year. Go like 4-2 with a 3.5 ERA. Then he'll start to suck just in time for Pelfrey or Humber to go ready. I have Sosa as my #5 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
