Pitching help update

* Chris Young by June 1st is "a stretch" - so says Dan Warthen via Star-Ledger's Andy McCullough
�If he comes out of (tomorrow�s start) feeling good. I think he�s going to give us a call and say �Hey, look. I�d like to go to Buffalo.� And if he comes out still cranky, �Maybe I should stay in the warmth for a little while.�?� It�s tough for a timetable right now, but I would think June 1 would be a stretch.�


* Zack Wheeler for Bingo on Wednesday: 8 innings, 1 run, 2 hits, 2 walks, 6 Ks
For the season now: 4-2; 1.97; 21 BBs; 51 Ks; 45-2/3 IP
The biggest problem for him is obviously the walks, although I believe a chunk of them came early in the year and have been better lately.
Right now I'd say he's 4th or 5th in line for a Queens promotion this year and probably won't get here at all. Ahead of him are (in no particular order) Harvey, Young, Familia, and Mejia - those last two being possible relief candidates.

So far we've been managing to fake that 5th spot. Figure more time goes by the more options we have right?

June first isn't that far away anyway. If today is the spot Young would be targeting, the next one's May 29th. Then June 4. So that's three starts if he wanted to be ready for June 9th against a last place AL East team.

He's either saying something rather profound about baseball or doing some charity appearance type thing.

Pedro Beato - with four scoreless innings for PSL under his belt (2 hits, 1 walk, 4 Ks) - is headed to Buffalo to continue his rehab/comeback trail.
