Note: Stokes tosses Four Innings

by Matthew Cerrone on March 26th, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Earlier today, RHP Brian Stokes threw four innings and 65 pitches, following Pedro Martinez, during a minor-league game.

interesting…i wonder if this makes him a darkhorse candidate for the fifth starter…or, if he can be the long-man from the bullpen, it could make Jorge Sosa available to be traded, or used as a fifth starter as well

The Mets acquired Stokes from the Rays in exchange for cash in late November of last year.

The 28-year-old Stokes was 2-7 with a 7.07 ERA in 59 games for Tampa Bay last season, allowing 49 runs and 90 hits in 62 innings.
