The Mets have told Pedro Feliciano that he will not make the Opening Day roster, but they would like him to go to Triple-A and build more stamina. After some debate, Feliciano has decided to accept the minor league assignment, and will receive $100k because of it. In eight appearances this spring, Feliciano has posted a 2.08 ERA in 4 and 1/3 innings pitched.
The Mets have made it obvious that they would carry two lefties this season, and I thought that Feliciano was going to be one of them. Josh Edgin will clearly make the team, and now that Feliciano will be in the minor leagues it will most likely be Robert Carson who makes the team. (Granted, Scott Rice is still in camp, but he will likely get cut soon.)
I have no problem with both Edgin and Carson, two young pitchers, handling the left handed specialist position. Despite their inexperience, I would really like to see what both of them can do in a full season. However, I would still like to see how Feliciano does, and if does well in Triple-A, you can definitely expect a call-up.
