My main concern is winning the division. I'm hopeful the Mets don't stand on ceremony and hold the line on a silly max innings numbers for Niese and now Mike Pelfrey. I agree with you as well that you don't need five starters. It almost seems like you need 3 1/2. But the Mets badly need arms that are getting people out. If Niese proves he cand get ML hitters out, they'll need him.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5700','bobsikes'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5700','bobsikes','You make valid points about Niese.

Also, he is already nearing his innings limit for the year, having surpassed his 2007 total by 25 innings already.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5690','Chris'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5690','Chris','Niese would be unlikely to make the playoff roster since the team won\'t use 5 starters in the postseason and he won\'t be in the bullpen as a lefty ahead of feliciano, schoenweiss or wagner.
