Yates Down, Baldwin Up


I just tuned into the WB for the start of the Mets telecast, and Dave O'Brien announced that the Mets have sent Tyler Yates down to AAA Norfolk and have called up James Baldwin. Baldwin was 3-2 with a 2.90 ERA and a 24/5 K/BB ratio in 31 innings. He has given up three homeruns and has a WHIP of 1.26.

UPDATE: James Baldwin is actually the scheduled starter for tonight's (Monday) game in Arizona.


Comments

Has anyone noticed that the current Mets rotation is not that much younger than the 1986 rotation? Average age of the '86 starters is about 42. Average age of current starters is about 34.

I thought you were smoking crack, and then I realized you meant the current age of the members of the '86 starting rotation.

It's about time we added a veteran to the staff. Maybe we could see if Pete Harnisch is available to replace Seo.

Where's Frank Viola when you need him?

I write after watching Baldwin get bombed to the benefit of my roto team (I have L. Gonzalez).

At least someone goes home happy.
