I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

That's not to say that Matz doesn't have upside, but stats so far, I think the mets 3-4-5 are just about as bad as can be.

Not even close. Look at the Royals rotation.

The Mets have a problem with Vargas, everybody else looks good right now.

Time to flip flop vargas and Lugo. Bad teams can't afford the legacy of saving a quality starter for that role.

Most likely they would like to have Swarzak back in the pen before moving Lugo out of the pen (to the rotation).

Taking Lugo out of the pen creates a new problem.

If they come to the conclusion that Vargas needs to pulled from the rotation, then they either need a new starter or a new late-inning reliever.

Well Vargas replaces the overall innings the pen would lose, as far as high leverage appearances, I say give them to Blevins. He was better when he wasnt in this purely one-batter-reliever role. Start giving him full innings and see if he can start getting his touch back.

Not by a longshot, the Orioles for one are pretty bad and they actually pay more money to their 3-5 guys than the Mets or other hideous rotations like the Royals, White Sox and Reds. I mean my god this is just bad for a team that was actually 'trying' to win:

Cashner 11 starts 5.07 ERA 1.67 WHIP
Cobb 8 starts 7.32 ERA 1.93 WHIP
Tillman 7 starts 10.46 ERA 2.21 WHIP

Honestly Matz at a 3.8 ERA really isn't even that bad, he just doesn't pitch enough innings...it's really 4-5 that are a waste but most of baseball can say that.

What.
