Vargas Making Strong Pitch To Be A Starter

Mark Hale of The New York Post writes that Jason Vargas is making a strong pitch to be the no. 5 starter.

Acquired in a trade with the Marlins this offseason, Vargas tossed two scoreless frames against the Dodgers yesterday in the Mets' 5-2 loss.

...true, but if the Mets would want a young arm for the rotatiom they would either pick Mike Pelfrey or Phil Humber.
