Jon Niese won again down at triple aaa last night. He pitched 6 innings last night giving up 2 runs and 5 hits and 5 strikeouts. He is now 3-0 with a 2.37 era.
One of the reasons he wasn't brought up to pitch last nights game is because he isnt on the teams 40 man roster. Once they place him on the 40 man roster they have to protect him this winter. Also then they start dealing with MLB service and the dreaded arbitration.
I'm like ok does that mean you don't plan to bring him up once the September call ups come to Shea? Will the Mets do what they did last year with him and wait until the last week of the year and use him when the Mets were floundering and he didn't fair well?
I mean a game in August has a little less meaning then when your 1 game out with 6 to play in late September!! Which I think Jon Niese would be better off pitching in.
