How come Niese to start and Not Figueroa!

Jon Niese is going to be the probable starter for the Mets against the Brewers, Sept. 2. Nelson Figueroa was called up as a additional arm in the Pen and a replacement for John Maine.

Is he a quality starter? His numbers in the minors and majors do not back it up!
