Tom Brennan - A CALL TO ARMS - VOL. 6 - PEAVEY OR GORSKI: YOU PICK | Mack's Mets
Two interesting arms in the Mets arsenal. Peavey's solid mechanics and four+ pitch repertoire keep the door to MLB unlocked. Ultimately, he does have to find some success at the Triple-A, but that could mean something as simple as finding the key to his cutter, which he throws as a supplemental pitch in conjunction with his slider. His plus pitches are a just that with his two-seamer displaying movement and clocking out in the 92-94 mph range. He has nothing left to prove at the Double-A level as he was clearly a consistent and even dominant starter for the B-Mets last season. After some experimenting with the bullpen in 2013, where he did find some success, the Mets apparently decided to move Peavey back to a starter role in 2014. A hard worker and pitching academic, Peavey is on-track to make a statement at Las Vegas this season. Gorski is also a strong candidate for the 5th starter spot due to his being a lefty In case no one's noticed, the Mets system is thin when it comes to southpaws. He is a finesse pitcher with almost four+ seasons of minor league appearances. Both of these pitchers can make a statement slotting in behind Montero, Syndergaard and Matz. In fact, they are likely front-runners to kick things off in April.
