Figgy to Pitch Tomorrow

Nelson Figueroa was scratched from his Triple-A start today so that he can pitch tomorrow in the last game of a 4-game set with the Diamondbacks against Dan Haren. Figgy pitched in the majors once this year and went 6 innings and gave up 3 runs.

So far this season in Buffalo he is 7-5 with a 2.25 era and is 7-1 with a 1.51 era in his last 10 starts. He has only allowed 5 HR's this year.

I like Figgy alot and think he deserves to be on this team alot more then Tim Redding who should lose his roster spot when he needs to be promoted. But the Mets will go the easy route and demote Pat Misch.
