We gonna get Figgy back up here? With the rainout we need a 6th guy for Monday. Who else could it be? I hope not Redding..

Dessens hasn't pitched in forever and we're carrying 2 long men (in him and Misch) and a short bench, let him do it.

Dessens? geeze..he's still on this team? He hasn't pitched in so long (11 days. 2.1 IP in 23 days) I'd be worried about him being able to battle through one inning, never mind 5+. Mets are also 1-8 in games he's appeared in.

Well, if they're not going to pitch him because they haven't pitched him, that's a little self-defeating, no?

Well..yes. But that doesn't surprise me.

But everything about him points to the Mets having no real faith in him, so I can't imagine they start him.

if they're not going to use him they should get rid of him, call up a hitter, and stop carrying a short bench. if they're going to keep him around, this is what he's here for.

Well, you'd actually like the extra reliever today, even with a short bench, but I'm all for dropping him, or Redding, tomorrow for Evans.

Seriously. We want a hitter, not a belly shitter.

Wait, is that how it goes? That doesn't look right.

the roster right now is 12 hitters, Santana, Niese, Pelfrey, Perez, Hernandez, and an EIGHT man bullpen consisting of Rodriguez, Parnell, Feliciano, Green, Stokes and the aformentioned Dessens, Misch, and Redding.

Swap Cancel for Dessens.
