Who should be Mets 5th starter

Now that K-rod is out for the season, Hisonori Takahashi will have to take over the closer spot. And Pat Misch is their 5th starter. Should Pat Misch be the Mets 5th starter? The options are Pat Misch, Oliver Perez, Manny Acosta, or Raul Valdez. I would put out Manny Acosta, and Oliver Perez, so it between Valdez, and Misch. Pat Misch had a great spring training, pitched well vs the Astros until Carlos Lee's three-run HR. And Raul Valdez is a good relief pitcher that could give you 5-6 good innings. I would go with Pat Misch, and by September, if he's not doing well, then I would try out Valdez. Please comment on your opinion.

  1. no question about it, Misch. but since he gets bad late in the game, so he should only pitch 5-6 innings. anonymous.

  2. RE: So then Misch will go 5-6 innings, and then Raul Valdez could go the 7th and 8th, and Takahashi will go the 9th.

  3. After Misch letup 5 runs in 3 innings, the Mets should think about calling up Jenry Meia, and see how he does as a starter.anonymous
