What really bother’s me is we are likely to see the same mistake Omar made with Mejia soon if Francisco keeps doing what he has been doing lately!

All that effort to turn Mejia into a starter only to see it undone by throwing him back into the pen because of the state of the MLB bullpen acquisitions.

I hope that doesn’t happen because if we get Mejia to be a very good starter we have the makings of a Starting rotation that could be as formidable as the 86 rotation was!
If Harvey or Wheeler are all everyone cracks them up to be!

Fonzie13 — I have some doubts too about Jenrry’s ability to throw 200 or more innings. But it’s been done before by smaller guys. Ron Guidry was shorter and much lighter in weight but he threw a ton of innings in his career. So the jury is still out and maybe the kid can do it.

I still have doubts that he’ll be able to be a 200 innigs a year starter. Hope he proves me wrong. I just see him as our long time late inning fireman, if not closer.

he really is making a quick recovery from the TJ. And he seems to be pitching better than before he went down. wonder how long the bad tendon may have been impacting him? Or just a small sample, and A ball hitters. In any case, great news that he is recovered and feeling good.

Great news! I hope that this time around, when he does get to Buffalo, he’ll remain there to get some actual time in, get a good feel Vs AAA teams (about a good 100 innings wouldn’t hurt) instead of getting rushed up after a handful of starts. I want him truly prepared for the big leagues the second time he comes up.

Nice, It’s good to see Mejia back.
