Johnny Maine dealin

Well its becoming pretty much official now, Maine is a bonafide MLB starter. He really needed a solid 2nd full season in the rotation. If he can manage this pace until the end of the year, he is gonna command huge dollars (10m?) in arbitration, and the Mets have $.

he is 8-5 3.73…with 2 starts left before the break.

the best part is he is consistent right now, where last year he started off on fire 6-0 or something crazy, then lost steam.

I don’t know, I am just happy for him. He’s a class guy, a Niner, and this was the biggest yr of his life.

it looks like i’ll be making some business trips to ny in july and august. is there any way i can find a schedule of the projected starters? i want to go to shey stadium wearing my charlotte 49er hat when maine is pitching.

best thing to do is grab a schedule and use the rotation:

Santana
Perez
Maine
Pelfrey
Pedro

hope there is no DH, it throws a 6th starter in

Your best bet LN is to wait until a week before your trip. It would be hard to predict a start at this moment for late July or August due to rain outs or changes in the pitching roster (very likely at this point).

Metro- Do you think John will be able to command 10x his current salary of $450k?

Maybe he can hire Boras and get Barry Zito money.

Hope he contributes to the school.

OT:

I was in NY a few weeks ago and saw a John Maine bobblehead in a store. I just set it up next to all my other 9er bobbleheads in my office.
