The New York Mets have enviable depth in their starting rotation. They have the unquestioned ace in Jacob deGrom. They have the high-upside number two in Noah Syndergaard. Marcus Stroman is the rock-solid number three, and for the last two spots, the team will have a competition between Rick Porcello, Michael Wacha and Steven Matz.
That’s six arms right there. Nowadays, MLB teams need between 8-10 arms capable of starting games adequately to navigate a season. They have to fend off fatigue, injuries, transactions, suspensions and unexpected struggles.
Fortunately, behind those six, the Mets have a very good prospect that, if things break right, might be ready to contribute in the summer.
