I don't think either option is particularly attractive but you have no idea what you are going to get with Niese. He could do great or he could get lit up early and tax the bullpen whch is not good down the stretch in a pennant race.

I would like to see the Mets extend him in a relief role and see if they can get more use out of him this year as well as help the dogged ben in Sept. Its likely a concern for Parnell as well.

His best ERA is actually since he went back down,

but his ERA over his last 5 starts in AAA is 4.93

He chose to start Brian Lawrence down the stretch last year in the middle of the collapse solely because he had MLB experience. Then, after Lawrence proved why nobody wanted him, he went to Humber, which at that point was too late. Just the experience factor.

To bad because he settled down nicely after that 1st inning. I vote for Jose Lima!!! Please take that as a joke..lol That’s right, Thanks for reminding me.

Also, check out his game log. He struggled only when he was sent back down. I can understand that. He's back going again now. Why use Varga’s AAA numbers when he has MLB numbers?

He did a very good job when he was up last time. Look at his WHIP. It's the best of all the starters besides Johan. That's good for middle relief too. He could save a lot of innings off our pen if we would use him like Willie used Oliver.

And you can't criticize AAA because these kids are there to learn off the veterans. Its a big benefit to have kids feed off some guys who have been in the show and may have had success or may have struggled, either way its all good experience for prospects. yea..but you haven’t made a point at all.
