Mets Six-Man Rotation a Bad Idea

As you undoubtedly already know, the Mets plan on using a six-man rotation, starting now and continuing through at least August. This is a bad idea.

Two-thirds of Mets six-man rotation.

I’m not the only one who does not like it. In fact, all of the pitchers in the rotation are not happy about it (except perhaps for Dillon Gee, who would likely be out of the rotation if Sandy Alderson was man enough to make the proper decision).

The Mets say they want to give their young guns and their old Civil War era pistol (Bartolo Colon) rest so they will be nice and fresh for the September stretch run and hopefully an October playoff appearance.
