News: Tony Armas Jr. is in Camp
According to eyewitnesses, Tony Armas Jr. has finally arrived to 
Tradition Field after being held out of the country due to visa problems.
The Mets signed Armas to a minor league contract in February.
He appeared in 31 games last year as a starter and reliever, posting a 4-5 record with a 6.03 ERA.
…this is actually somewhat important, since Phil Humber and Kevin Mulvey are in Minnesota…i mean, when Orlando Hernandez ends up back on the disabled list, and if Mike Pelfrey is struggling at Triple-A, having a guy like armas will be necessary – as much as i hate to admit it…
…the thing is, the initial buzz around armas had been that if he does not make the major-league club, he would refuse an assignment to the minor leagues…however, by arriving to camp with just two weeks left, i suspect that will alter his decision…i mean, it’s sort of hard to repackage yourself on the open market after you’ve missed a month of workouts…it probably makes more sense for him to accept going to Triple-A, wait and see what happens on new york’s major-league roster, and then re-evaluate his situation once he is ready for action…
