Parnell – put him in the rotation in Triple A with the hope that he can develop a pitch or two besides a sometimes-moving fastball. As for Mejia, please. Guy has pitched just over 200 minor league innings, and that’s counting the Mets’ team in the Dominican League, he’s 20 years old, it’s the first half of March, he didn’t pitch well in AA last year, some of the guys he’s getting out are wearing number 89, and there is absolutely no reason related to the 2010 NL East standings why he should be rushed to the show. Let him develop. Unfortunately, with a GM and manager whose jobs are both hanging by a thread, the temptation to create a big early-season splash is likely to be inconsistent with any philosophy about being patient with young talent.
