Post: Niese Unlikely to Pitch Saturday
Disappointing news for the play-the-kids crowd:
A team source said yesterday that GM Omar Minaya and interim manager Jerry Manuel would prefer to avoid a situation where Niese is called up for just one start and then returned to Triple-A New Orleans. That would leave the Mets to choose between right-handers Claudio Vargas and Brian Stokes for Saturday, with Nelson Figueroa as a long-shot possibility.

Kiddies
I really wanted to see more of our kiddie corps, but it gives him more time to polish his game down at Triple-A

Agreed
No need to rush the kid into the bigs just for a spot start. Besides forcing a lefty to pitch to a right-handed lineup (which would probably go poorly), it’d just start the arbitration clock early.
