Mets have to clear a roster spot tomorrow for R.A. Dickey to make a spot start, sounds like Jenrry Mejia will be shipped off to the minors and begin to be stretched out as a starter. He's been good in the bullpen and I understand why they felt compelled to put him on the Opening Day roster after his great spring, but this is a good move. He's not going to be jerked around anymore, this is a permanent move from the sounds of things. Could see him back up in late June/early July as a starter if the rotation still is having major problems by then.
