Last season, I wrote an article about David Peterson evaluating his performance after his first three major league starts. One of the main points I discussed was how important it was for him to provide short and long-term stability to a rotation that had very little at the time.
Flash forward to now, and the Mets are very much in the same position of uncertainty with their starting pitchers. Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Carlos Carrasco, and Taijuan Walker have all missed time, and depth pieces like Joey Lucchesi and Jordan Yamamoto have yet to distinguish themselves.
