For a third straight day we look at the 2017 projections for a 2017 Met who is no longer with the team. Today is Sean Gilmartin who Cardinals claimed off waivers from the Mets back in June.

The real story here is if the projections saw Gilmartin get playing time. The answer is they did, with the exception of ESPN which was the closest and saw he would struggle in a limited exposure. ZiPS and FBG had him as a serviceable pitcher, but he never got the chance to show that with the Cardinals last year.
The rub, of course, is that if the Mets didn’t mismanage his options, he probably makes 5-7 starts by the end of the season when the Mets lost nearly every starter due to injury.
