News: Garcia expects to be in Rotation
According to SNY’s Kevin Burkhardt, Freddy Garcia told reporters that his shoulder is doing well.
Garcia said he expects to be in the team’s starting rotation, adding, “Otherwise, I’ll pitch some place else.”
…frankly, i think it’s his job to lose at this point… i feel the team is comfortable with using Tim Redding as a long man, knowing he can step in to the rotation from the bullpen… also, i believe, though he can be ready if need be, the Mets would rather let Jon Niese get more work in Triple-A, before committing him to a rotation slot… of course, all of the above remains to be seen, as it will play out during March…
