Who should the Mets use as their fifth starter?

Yesterday, Marcus Stroman hit the Injured List with a torn muscle in his left calf, handing the Mets a serious blow to the season before it begins. The Mets’ starting pitching depth was already in a lackluster place before Stroman went down, but the pickings are especially slim at the moment. We asked three members of our Amazin’ Avenue staff to pitch (pardon the pun) who they would like to see take that spot in the rotation until Stroman returns.

The Mets do not have an exciting option to replace the newly injured Marcus Stroman in the rotation – including Seth Lugo.
