Tim Hudson, coming off back surgery, looks to be out until early May, and the Mets --- for right now at least --- look to have a stronger rotation in 2012 than at least one division rival.

- Phillies release Dontrelle Willis who was trying out for a pen job

- Nats say CM Wang will be out "several weeks at minimum" as the result of a pulled hamstring

Jon Heyman ? @JonHeymanCBS
#mets sign chris young, the pitcher, to minor-league deal. Mccullough from star-ledger 1st suggested

Its true the Mets can recover 3/4 of Pelfrey unguaranteed salary by releasing him before opening day?

Make it so!

Young is not likely to be ready for Opening Day at this point, but at the very least it gives the Mets an option should Pelfrey fail to enormously improve on his ST performance once the games count.

I know Young won't be ready anytime soon, but geez, throw just about anybody out there to save 4.5 million..

I don't believe it's that easy for a minute. Come on, you can't possibly either.
