In a bold move, the New York Mets have decided to transition former All-Star closer Clay Holmes from the bullpen to a starting role. This strategic decision, spearheaded by Mets executive David Stearns and supported by analytics, suggests confidence in Holmes’ ability to succeed in this new position. Holmes, who previously experienced success with a 30-save season and a 2.69 ERA, may surprise those who viewed his demotion to setup last year as a setback. The support from rival teams further indicates a belief in Holmes' potential in the rotation.
It's a cold Mets calculation, yet another one I'm betting will work.
I trust they're not just guessing that Holmes can somewhat seamlessly transition from relief to rotation, that they know what they're doing.
