Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4693806, member: 27"] The Mets sent Tylor Megill down to Syracuse. Called up Vinny Nitolli to replace him. Nitolli was recently pIckes up from the Cubs and pitched well in Syracuse, with three straight scoreless outings. They called a reliever up to replace a starter because the bullpen is short a man due to Drew Smith getting suspended for 10 games for having sticky hands. The Mets are expected to call up Lucchesi or Peterson (please Lucchesi) to replace Tylor in a couple of days or go with Senga on normal rest. Quintana is close to rejoining the rotation but unfortunately needs just a bit more time. I wonder if the Mets might try and convert Megill to a reliever while he is down at Syracuse? He is capable of throwing 98 or 99 mph. Might be his best chance for long term success. Good time to see the Mets with Vientos, Mauricio, Megill, Peterson and Lucchesi all on the roster (at least for now). And Voit….. [/QUOTE]
