Ron Villone released; Figueroa, Muniz, Valentin and others demoted

My dreams have come true, but it warrants a major question.

The Mets have released Ron Villone, according to Adam Rubin.

This begs the question: Are the Mets really going into the season with only one lefty in Pedro Feliciano?

Other moves in camp today: Six Mets were sent to minor league camp, among which were Nelson Figueroa and Carlos Muniz.

I was completely under the impression that Figueroa was going to be the long man in the bullpen, at least until Tim Redding was ready to pitch again. I guess I was wrong.

Jose Valentin was also sent to the minor league camp.

So long 'Stache. It's almost time to hang up that uniform and put on your coaching cap.

Tom Martin breaks wrist

Tom Martin, a possible bullpen candidate, broke his wrist in a fall in his rented home on Thursday. Martin fell down the stairs at his home.

Ron Villone's signing becomes bigger and bigger with each passing day. First Duaner Sanchez gets cut, now Martin is out.

If you're competing for a Mets bullpen spot, I'd watch your back.

According to Adam Rubin, the Mets have signed lefthanded reliever Ron Villone to a minor league deal.

Seriously?
