HOLMES HYPE BUSTED: Not a Top Starter!

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

BT and Sal delve into the effectiveness of Clay Holmes as a starting pitcher for the Mets, with BT vehemently arguing that Holmes is a five-inning pitcher at best and pushing him further is reckless, especially given his past as a converted reliever and his career-high in innings pitched. Sal, while acknowledging the need for caution, points to Holmes's economical performance in his last outing and the impending return of other starters as factors that might alleviate the workload, but ultimately agrees that preserving Holmes for the postseason should be the priority, even if it means limiting his starts or innings.
