Mets need depth in the rotation now that they have given most of the farm to the Twins. I could see him starting off in the pen.Mets signed RHP Tony Armas Jr. to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Not that he had much chance anyway after posting a 6.03 ERA last season, but Armas picked the wrong place to win a rotation spot given the Mets' pitching depth following the deal for Johan Santana. Barring an injury, his best chance to win a spot on the Opening Day roster will likely come as a long reliever.
