While most of the talk that’s surrounded the Mets over the past few days and weeks has been centered upon what the team will do with its position players, there hasn’t been much buzz about pitching. It sure sounds like the team will not entertain the notion of bringing in a starting pitcher, which is a shame considering how things went for the rotation last year and how incredibly well things would have to go for that unit to regain its status from two or three years ago.
Even with that seeming willingness to roll the dice with the rotation, the Mets sure could still use some bullpen help.
