Today Jerry Manuel announced that Bobby Parnell is going back to the pen he was effective for most of the season. He has an ERA of 3.75 as a reliever and 7.93 as a starter. He had also given up 3 more HR's in 9 less innings as a starter.
I wasn't in favor of this at the very start, especially because it was during the season. After seeing him pitch as a starter I am definitely against him being a starter. He is basically a two pitch pitcher who doesn't control his off-speed pitches enough to be a starter.
Next year the Mets are gonna need a setup man, and instead of jerking Bobby around with starting the Mets should have been putting him into high pressure late inning situations. Mets management hasn't done many things write this year and the handling of Parnell just adds to their mistakes.
