Parnell started strong but faded in the end.....
The Mets second best pitching prospect is trying to dispel the label of reliever. Robert Parnell has been projected as a top reliever but the pitching prospect has been starting since selected by the Mets in 2005. His first year wasn't very note worthy in 2006 but in 2007 he started 29 games going 8-8 with a 4.19 ERA between FSL and Binghamton. This year he started 24 games for...

K-Rod might not be the answer...
I have been promoting the go get K-Rod, but I have noticed a couple of things during the playoffs. He is not as overpowering as we all thought, though he has saved more games than the whole Mets bullpen this year. The other problem is he will demand a high price tag because of his new saves record. The Mets have to be careful here and even though he is 26 he might have arm problems...

Mets Might Shut Down Maine!
Ailing right-hander John Maine might be shut down for the season if Jerry Manuel and the Mets don't like what they see from Maine's shoulder in a throwing session this week, Manuel told reporters today.
Maine, who has a bone spur in his shoulder, is coming off his worst start in almost a year Saturday night, when he gave up eight earned runs in 7 2/3 innings of an 8-3...

With Maine Down Mets May Go With Niese!
The Mets put sore-shouldered John Maine on the 15-day disabled list yesterday and are preparing to replace him in the rotation with highly regarded minor-leaguer Jon Niese, according to a person familiar with the club's thinking.The Mets will maneuver their rotation so that they don't need a fifth starter until Sept. 2 at Milwaukee. When they do, it will likely be Niese,...

Holliday shoppers market open, but that does not mean Mets will get him...
As I mentioned in a earlier post last week, the Rockies are looking to trade Matt Holliday. They are looking to get a pitching prospect that can develop in a number 2 starter.
That leaves Jon Niese and Robert Parnell as two candidates the Mets can use as chips to get involved in the talks for Holliday. The Mets do not want to depart with Niese, who the Mets have high hopes for...

• Pedro Martinez will spend the Milwaukee series in New York working out with his trainer Chris Correnti.
• Jerry Manuel said he'd try to find a spot to use Bobby Parnell in relief, but it will be hard for Parnell to work his way up the pecking order in the bullpen in the four...

Mike Pelfrey took matters into his own hands last night by pitching a complete game. The bullpen rested and watch the young marvel master his craft in front of 50,000 last night. But the Mets won't have starts like that every game. Billy Wagner has said that he will be back but it is going to take some time, probably 3 weeks. So they will need to close out games whether it comes...

Well there was some speculation about whether Jon Niese would start on Tues. Just Saturday Lo Hud Journal had an article quoting pitching coach Dan Warthen as saying that Niese was doubtful to start because he didn't like the match-ups. Well either that was a smoke screen, the Mets didn't have a better option or Warthen was over ruled because the Mets announced that Niese...
