Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4247741, member: 27"] The Mets are starting Trevor Williams today. With deGrom and Walker hurt, already have their 6th and 7th starters in the rotation Would surely have had Luchessi get a start before Williams but he had Tommy Johj surgery and is out until late this season (at the earliest). So Williams is our 9th best starting pitcher. Lack of starting pitching depth has really hurt the team in recent years. Nice to have some depth but alarming to be at the 9th option in April. Walker is supposed to be back next week and the Williams start was driven by the doubleheader. So with any luck, the Williams start will be a one off. Hope he comes through as well as the other backups…. [/QUOTE]
