He was promptly promoted a few days ago to Triple-A Syracuse. Clearly, if he continues to show that the minor leagues are no place for him, then it would make sense to give him a look in the majors, even if it’s in a short-inning role. But, speculatively speaking, Sproat is already up to 87 2/3 innings this year, his first in pro ball, without throwing a single pitch in Triple A. Like many teams these days, the Mets have been reluctant to place innings caps on pitchers, but they’re still mindful about workload. Let’s see how Sproat does in Triple A. I’ll revisit the topic after his first turn or two in Syracuse." [/QUOTE]
