Limiting innings will be a concern as the season progresses based on the lack of work all pitchers got in 2020. I'd piggyback Lucchesi and Yamamoto as a combined fifth starter to begin the season and option Petersen to the minors to gain more experience. Eventually one of them will bubble up.
I do not think the Mets could do a six-man rotation because then Carlos Carrasco, Stroman and DeGrom would be pitching less.

true I think Lucchesi belongs in the bullpen and Yamamoto deserves a rotation spot.
