Tony Armas Jr. is absolutely dominating AAA, MiLB just competed an article (great read) on the 29 y/o right handed veteran. Armas is pitching tonight which would give him five days rest before Monday's game which doesn't have a scheduled starter. The only current option would be pitching Vargas on short notice. Armas deserves a start and then could be moved into the pen as a true long-man, they could move Heilman, Muniz or Smith to make room, when Pedro returns Pelfrey should go down......
Armas has emerged as the most consistent starting pitcher on the New Orleans Zephyrs' staff, making six consecutive quality starts and allowing no more than three runs in any of his first 10 starts this season. Going into his start Wednesday against Round Rock, Armas was fourth in the league in ERA (2.34), first in WHIP (0.97), fourth in innings pitched (61.2) and eighth in strikeouts (50). source MiLB
Up Date: In what could be a warm-up to his Mets debut, Tony Armas went seven innings in which he allowed one run on six hits, no walks while striking out seven his ERA is at 2.23.
