September 26, 2008 The Mets still haven't decided who will start their game on Saturday against the Marlins, though the leading contender appears to be Brandon Knight instead of Jon Niese or Nelson Figueroa, according to the New York Post.
Our View:Has it really come to this? The Mets season hangs in the balance and they are left with a series of unproven options on the hill.
September 14, 2008 According to the New York Daily News, Knight will get a spot start on Wednesday for the Mets.
Our View:Knight has a favorable match-up vs. Washington, but the minor league veteran is a risky play, especially considering his struggles earlier this season with the Mets.
September 1, 2008 Pitcher Brandon Knight has been called up from the minors and will join the New York Mets, according to the New York Daily News. Ruddy Lugo was designated for assignment in order to make room on the roster for Knight.
Our View:Knight made one start this season for the Mets, and it was not all that successful, as he went five innings and allowed four earned runs on seven hits. Nothing for fantasy owners to see here.
July 27, 2008 Brandon Knight has been designated for assignment by the Mets, according to Newsday. The team recalled lefty Willie Collazo from Triple-A New Orleans as the adjoining move.
Our View:If Knight clears waivers, he will be able to pitch for Team USA in the Olympics.
July 25, 2008 Brandon Knight is reportedly the leading candidate to replace Pedro Martinez for Saturday's start, according to the NY Post. Knight could be recalled today from Triple-A New Orleans.
Our View:The 32-year-old fared well in the minors this season, but hasn't pitched in the majors since 2002 (with the Yankees), and does not merit fantasy consideration if called into action for a spot start Saturday.
