Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus ranked the top 20 right handed pitchers in today's article.

The Mets placed three pitchers on the list.

Mike Pelfrey came in at #7, Phil Humber ranked 14th, and Deoilis Guerra ranked 19th.

Good news for the Mets faithful.

Goldstein also mentioned that Pelfrey and Humber should compete for 07 rotation slots.

Imagine a rotation of Pedro, Pelfrey, Humber, Perez and Bannister.

4 young guns and Pedro.

Maine, not Bannister

Bannister hasn't impressed me, Maine has. Pedro, Pelfrey, Humber, Maine, Perez. That would be cool.

John Maine for Cy Young!

but I think it's a better 2008 rotation than 2007. Humber and Pelfrey might still be a year away from being productive in the majors, and rushing them might do more harm than good. I'd like to have at least one of Glavine, Trachsel, and El Duque (preferably Glavine), or a new hired gun, in the rotation next year to solidify things.

I agree with that, and

I'd like to see Glavine back next year. I think Pelfrey will be ready by next year, but I'm reserving judgment until after spring training. If he's ready, yeah, a rotation of Pedro, Glavine, Maine, Perez and Pelfrey would be awesome.
