Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3914581, member: 27"] They got Hill for a really low price. Given how tight pitching is right now, one wonders if he is okay. The deal is pending a physical and I am hearing he might not pass it. Was having a solid year but has fallen off the past two months. The Mets have taken Megill out two games in a row after 6 where he was pitching a shutout and had a low pitch total. Part of that is surely driven by the analytic team looking at performance degradation pitching the third time around the batting order. But part might be trying to keep his innings total down so he doesn’t run into an innings total problem later this season. he had never pitched above High Class A ball unfl this season and has to have limits here. With deGrom having issues too, it would be awesome to go to a 6 man rotation some day soon. Maybe with Hill and Carrasco, this will be possible. [/QUOTE]
