Quick Look At Possible 2011 Mets Rotations

First of all. this is all guesswork, but I'm doing this based on 2010 performance and projected ceiling. Lots of names are missing because, frankly, there's enough good performances around to pretty much fill up the rosters next season.

Mets - I don't include Robert Parnell, Dillon Gee, and Manny Acosta beause I believe they will be part of the Queens pen.

Now, if you "keep" the guys that did well, or still have the proected ceiling to success at some level (example: Brad Holt now in the pen), here's what I project:

Buffalo:

Starters:  Mike Antonini, John Stinson, Pat Misch, Fernando Nieve, Robert Carson
Closer:  Chad Cordero
Pen: Manuel Alvarez, Roy Merritt, Dylan Owen, Derrick Ellison, Jose De La Torre, Michael O'Connor, Yhency Brazoban

Both Cordero and Brazoban may move on, if they find a better 2011 deal. Carson is projected a little high because there is a jam up of too many starters at both the AA and A+ level. I have Eric Neisen gone, and Dylan Owen becoming a permanent relief pitcher.

Binghamton:

Starters:  Kyle Allen, Jeurys Familia, Brandon Moore, Eric Beaulac, Mark Cohoon
Closer:  Michael Powers
Pen:  Eric Turgeon, Brad Holt, Elvin Ramirez, Rhiner Cruz, John Lugan,

Allen will get another shot after his injuries heal. This could be Familia's last shot as a starter. There are openings in the pen here

St. Lucie:

Starters:  Matt Harvey, Yohan Almonte, Armondo Rodriquez, James Fuller, Collin McHugh, Taylor Whittenton
Closer: Ryan Fraser
Pen:  Adam Kolarek, Daniel Carela, Brandon Sage, Luis Rojas, Gabriel Zavala, Marcos Tabata, Hamilton Bennett

Lots of talent here...

Savannah:

Starters:  Angel Cuan, Akeel Morris, Chris Hilliard, A.J. Pinera, John Church
Closer:  Victor Peralta
Pen:  Samual Tavares. Wes Wrenn, Mitch Houck, John Figueroa, Gulillaume Leduc, Josh Egdin

Church will probably repeat here due to being blocked at Lucy.

Brooklyn:

Starters: Juan Urbina, Gonzalez Germen, Domingo Tabia, Michael Herbet, Steven Matz
Closer:  ???
Pen:  Peter Birdwell, Orlando Tovar, Richard Pena, T.J. Chism, Eric Goedell

Kingsport:

Starters:  Carlos Gomez, Gabriel Gnoa, Ernesto Yanez, Marcos Camerena
Closer:  Ramiro Peralta
Pen:  Zachery Von Tersch, Peter Birdwell, Steve Winnick, Estarlin Morel

GCL Mets:

Starters:  Martirez Arias, Hansel Robles, Rainey Lara, Edoglis Villasmil
Closer:  Marcos Gonzales
Pen:  Lefty Febrillet, Issac Monrow, Jeremy Gould, Lenny Rosario

There are a few 2011 draft picks that didn't pitch this year, so they too will be added. As you can see, many household Mets minor league names are mssing. Could be a big turnover off season on the farm.

I'm sorry Mack, I'm a little confused. Do you mean next years rotations, 2011? I believe that you are pretty close to dead on for next year's rotations, but 2012will likely be a lot different imo. Hopefully at least!
