The New York Mets played the shell game with their starting pitching rotation to take advantage of matchups. Mike Pelfrey and Oliver Perez have been pushed back in the rotation so they will miss the opening series with the Marlins at Citi Field and will start against the Washington Nationals. John Maine and Jon Niese will get the 2nd and 3rd starts against the Marlins. The ace of the staff Johan Santana will start Opening Day on Monday and is ready to go. Met pitching coach Dan Warthen has spun it as a good thing for the Mets but I wonder how long they’ll keep this rotation intact.Friday, April 2, 2010
