I guess. Garcia has looked bad and Redding hasn't even pitched yet due to a sore shoulder. Since Niese still has options left he's going to start the year in AAA. Right or wrong that's just the way these things always work out.

Any chance they add anyone else for the pen besides Villone? I really want Will Ohman, and his agent said they are willing to drop their price.
I don't think so. Maybe if Feliciano gets hurt or the Mets trade Sanchez they'd then go out and try to get Ohman or Reyes or whomever is still available. Villone is here on a minor league deal. Just like De Los Santos and Dessens. I'd put the chances of any of those guys making the team out of ST as pretty slim.
If Livan or Garcia win the #5 spot then Redding is going to be in the bullpen which means the Mets would then have to decide between Stokes, some of the young guys (Kunz, Robertston, Parnell, etc.), the rule V'ers (O'Day, Cherry) or these guys here on minor league deals like Villone, De Los Santos and Dessens.
