Wheeler

Starting tomorrow against Harrisburg and then expected to be promoted to Buffalo and start Sunday at home against Syracuse. That is all.

He's been bounced around in his last two starts so a good start would be nice to see regardless of whether a promotion follows. It wouldn't be the first time a team bumped up someone while in the midst of a mini-slump though. Sometimes the thinking is that they need a new challenge.

Wheelio does good in his alleged last start for Bingo. IP H R ER BB SO HR 6 2/3 4 2 2 4 11 1 Finishes (hopefully forever) AA at 10-6, 3.26 over 116 innings.

A send-off for his AA career from BA's Hot Sheet The Scoop: Liberal with walks though he was in his final Double-A outing, Wheeler also struck out a season-high 11 batters in 6 2/3 innings against Harrisburg. (Naturally, he also set a season high with 106 pitches.) Forget the strikeouts and the walks for a second and think about this: Wheeler allowed just two home runs in 19 Double-A starts, at one point going 11 starts (and at least 80 innings) without anyone taking him deep. Wheeler won't have the Eastern League to kick around anymore, not after the Mets promoted him to Triple-A Buffalo, where he assumes Matt Harvey's vacated rotation spot. He leaves the EL as the leader with 117 strikeouts and (spoiler alert) he fared well in our forthcoming Eastern League Best Tools survey.
