News: Stokes to Start Saturday for Mets

The Mets have announced that Brian Stokes will be called up from Triple-A New Orleans to start for the Mets on Saturday.

This will be his first start for the Mets, who acquired Stokes in an off-season trade in exchange for cash.

…nothing against stokes, but i am a little disappointed, in that i had hoped that Jon Niese would get the call

In 22 starts in Triple-A this season, the 28–year-old Stokes is 10–8 with a 4.41 ERA.
