Ex-Tampa Bay Ray Brian Stokes will be called upon on Saturday for a spot start.
Stokes is 10-8 with New Orleans, sporting a 4.41 ERA. In 130 2-3 innings, he's struck out 97 batters, something the Mets expected him to do on a regular basis in spring training.
If Stokes could turn in a solid performance, say six innings, six hits and three runs, I could see him staying with the club and getting slotted into the bullpen in any way, shape, or form that they could fit him. The team needs bullpen help, and if he proves himself worth, they'll use him.
