Mets turned biggest strength into a mess that’s not going away

You know that six-man rotation the Mets said they were using, then not using. Well, they are going to be using it again – kind of.

This organization has not always thrived at publicly articulating its strategies – think about how many times, for example, the Mets have flip-flopped in recent years on whether Wilmer Flores is a shortstop or not, or if Jenrry Mejia is a starter or reliever.

But the six-man rotation has brought a particular lack of public constancy, whether it was pitching coach Dan Warthen saying the plan was in place until at least August or Terry Collins frustratingly halting the scheme after one turn.
