News: Figueroa DFA’d
The Mets designated Nelson Figueroa for assignment following today’s loss to the Brewers.
The Mets purchased the contract of Casey Fossum from Triple-A Buffalo, who will take Figueroa’s spot on the roster.
…so, let me get this straight, essentially, the Mets just traded figueroa and Darren O’Day for fossum… i mean, there really wasn’t a more efficient way to bring on a spot starter for the afternoon… seriously, any time roster management comes to in play, i panic, because, while i believe Omar Minaya does a good job with major acquisitions, i feel he fumbles the ball a lot on these little moves…
…i feel bad for nelson, actually, who i wish could find a permanent job on a roster… hopefully he ends up back in the system…
