moves probably happen in a couple weeks when the 1st half seasons wrap up (and I guess they have ASGs?)

But a wheeler, harvey, Familia, Mchugh, mejia rotation at Buffalo is going to be very interesting to see, and a hell of a lot different than the usual gang of old retreads and non-prospects they usually have!

there could also be some serious competition for rotation spots on the mets next ST.

Hey Joe d or Pete any update on the status of the Sandberg interview? I know just after Pete was able to finally get Joe D the audio of the Sandberg interview for transcribing Joe D went into the hospital so everything was put on hold.

Yup all in due time. No reason to rush him to AAA just because he is pitching well.

Most likely, it is a logjam right now in AAA. Once Mejia & Young complete their rehab assignments, Wheeler and his teammate, Collin McHugh, who’s also deserving of a promotion, will be on their way to Buffalo.

It was a day for Mets starters all around. Nice.

It looks like all four starting pitchers Wheeler, Young, Fulmer and Almonte tossed great games regardless of the results.

I wonder when they’ll promote Wheeler to AAA? You would thing they must be considering it already. I wonder if he’s being blocked because of a logjam or something.

Also, Wilmer Flores is another player that should get a promotion. This is his second straight season in High-A so at some point they’ll have to challenge him in AA.

That fingernail injury was the best thing to happen to Wheeler. Ever since coming back, he’s just gotten better & better per start. It won’t be a surprise if he comes to Buffalo sooner than expected.
