    He’s a loser that trolls under 2-3 different other names. Ignore him.

Will Mejia be promoted again at some point this season? How long does he have to stay at AAA and what does he still have to prove?

  Giina — I think the goal is to try and have him pitch a full season at Triple-A. If that happens, I think he’d definitely be in the mix for a rotation spot next season.

    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that he would get another chance in a month or two. Oh well, I guess its better for him this way.

      He is still just a baby. Before 2011 began, he had only pitched 72 innings in AA, 8 innings in AAA, and 39 innings in the bigs. That is not nearly enough to learn command of your pitches and all the other nuances of the game. The Mets should let him mature at AAA until they can bring him into a winning environment at the big league level. Something that probably won’t happen until ST, 2012. I mean with the big league bullpen in an absolute shambles, do you want to rush the kid up early just to have his heart broken every game by an inept bullpen?
