This doesn't solve the short-term pitching problem, but I'm still glad to hear this news from Ken Rosenthal:
Come June or July, the Mets still figure to be the No. 1 choice of free-agent right-hander Freddy Garcia, who is recovering from major shoulder surgery. Garcia is good friends with Santana, a fellow Venezuelan, and they share the same agents. When Garcia visited the Mets camp this spring, Pedro Martinez grabbed a piece of paper, waved to Garcia and jokingly demanded that Mets GM Omar Minaya give him a pen, saying, "Here's the contract, here's the contract."

If he can hit high 80s, he'd be a great 4th/5th starter in the event of a potentially demoted Pelfrey, inevitably hurt El Duque or re-injured Pedro.
It's a good bet there'll be plenty of room for him in July.
