Mets should try The Book rotation

By Tangotiger, 03:52 PM

John Peterson at MetsGeek thinks that the Mets have the ideal setup to go with the 3-man / 3-man rotation. While we emphasized the benefit of not having the pitcher hit in that chapter, I didn’t emphasize enough (in that chapter) how turning a starter into effectively a two-inning reliever has a huge benefit as well. This was discussed in the starter/reliever chapters, but it deserved a stronger mention.

I’d love to see this in my lifetime.
