John Delcos gives a suggestion in his latest blog entry, about what the Mets should do considering the rotation. We're now two weeks from the start of the season. El Duque is not 100% (as a matter of fact, he was pulled from a game earlier today as a precautionary measure after developing a cramp...he pitched a bullpen session afterwards though) and the Mets won't need a 5th starter until mid-April.

Delcos suggests the Mets just bring Mike Pelfrey along as the 4th starter and either add another bullpen arm or a position player as the 25th man. Doing so will allow Pelfrey to get some innings and allow El Duque to rest up for an extra two weeks.

Seems like a great idea to me.

Sounds reasonable. With Hampton injured for the Braves it slows down at least one divisional foe but the Mets still have to contend with the Phillies and they worry me a lot.
