Mickey Callaway said it best a week into camp when he claimed that he’d never been around a collection of pitching talent resembling that of the staff he is currently working with at New York Mets camp.
This group of pitchers is supremely talented, but often not together. It remains a fact that we’ve never seen the “Five Aces” pitch five days in a row, and at this point, it seems we may never see that materialize.
Beyond the question of health, there’s another real problem festering in this rotation. Will they be able to grow up?
