Can anyone give me a logical argument for keeping Nieve over Figueroa? I know it's a business, but I think of Figueroa telling Kevin Burkhardt the other day that he's never been on a major league roster on Opening Day. That, and the fact that he pitched great (other than one outing) in ST. Why do we even have ST games if you can't make the team based on your performance? Why not just have workouts for a month and then start the season? I know that this isn't what will or will not put the team in the playoffs, and I have nothing against Nieve, but Figueroa should be on the team. Heck, I'd put him in the rotation and sent Perez to Buffalo (or Siberia, if I could) but that's unrealistic. And why Igarashi or Takahashi? Or did the Wilpons tell Omar to keep them on the team to sell Mets stuff in Japan? And LWFS is right about Mejia. The Mets aren't winning anything this year, other than "Team With the Worst GM", so send him to AA or AAA, and let him become a good SP--it's not like the Mets have a plethora in that category.
