Rob Carson is the guy. Or you could use Edgin, who definitely has the options. Herrera or Edgin is not taking Byrdak's spot (don't vacate a 40 man spot on the 15 day DL) so you're losing someone else anyway. You could option Edgin. I don't know if the Mets want to burn an option on him, then again, if he's really on projecting as a middle reliever at best, he'll either be one of those or flamed out by the time he uses up 3 option years at this point.
