ReplyDeleteI have a theory.
I think the Mets are signing all these AAAA starters (Worley, Laffey, Martin) and placing them in the Vegas rotation, just so they can get through this miserable season in that league and not play with heads of real prospect pitchers (Conlon, Flexen, Oswalt) by inflating their ERA/WHIPs playing on the surface of the moon that the PCL League is.
League worst 6.25 ERA after 49 games. UGLY!
