Figueroa's DFA and Fossum's Up
Nelson Figueroa was designated for assignment today after pitching a decent game in place of Pelfrey. The Mets called up Casey Fossum to replace Figueroa. Fossum was once a top prospect but never panned out. He's a lefty starter who will be used out of the bullpen. I love Figueroa but it makes sense to bring up Fossum because he has more upside and is another lefty to compliment Feliciano.

Figgy does his job then gets sent back down the same night. No one's gonna cry over this because it's Nelson Figueroa but the way this organization handles certain things astounds me. I wanted Willie gone as much as anyone but even I felt disgusted in the way they handled his firing.
Now, Figgy decides he's had enough with this team and who can blame him? You get called up for a day after doing what he was called upon to do and then sent back down? I'd be pissed off too and let pride make my decision. Good for Figgy and I hope he gets a chance somewhere else.
i hate fossom.
