Since he's on the 40-man Maine seems the likeliest option to fill in for Bannister. Iriki isn't on the 40 so he'd require a move, I doubt Heilman gets flip-flopped, and Lima is sucking it up big time.

Maine didn't start off too hot but has looked pretty good recently. His last start (tonight) was steller, going 7 IP with 1 ER. He has 24 IP now and 2.65 ERA with only 4 BB.

If filling the hole from within, he'd be my choice over Lima and Gonzalez.

And maybe he will pitch well enough to steal VZam's job when Bannister returns. We can hope anyway... :-)

Any word out of Atlanta on the severity of Bannister's injury yet? :-?

I didn't hear it first-hand but supposedly on the WFAN report they said that it was a mild strain that didn't require a DL-stint and that there was a chance Bannister would not miss a start.

Maine makes his first start Tueday against the Nationals at Shea. ;-D

According to Randolph Maine can grip a baseball now. Not sure if that means he's throwing yet. He can come off the DL May 18.
