Using Dickey on short rest made some sense if the Mets were in wild-card contention, but the team now enters Dickey's Thursday afternoon start 10½ games off the wild-card pace, so there is no sense increasing Dickey's workload and risking an injury that potentially affects 2013.
Collins plans to strategically slot Jeremy Hefner in for spot starts if he needs to give Johan Santana, Chris Young or another pitcher extra rest.

I'm told there's no apparent DL candidate with #Mets, so stay tuned on Andrew Brown departure from AAA game.

If ever a middle reliever merited a win, it will be today with Scott Rice. Retires all six batters he faced. #Mets 4, #Cubs 3, end 8.

If Mets starting pitcher goes on DL, Brown comes up, Montero eventually fills spot w/ roster move for position player later, I'm retiring.

Until you need starter for the 1 going to the hypothetical DL. // RT @MetsProspectHub: Wouldn't that leave Mets with 11 pitchers?

Here's my unfounded conspiracy theory (not reporting this): Mets pitcher needs DL, so Brown can come up. Trickle-up somehow affects Montero.

Conspiracy theorists have more ammo about possible DL allowing Brown call-up. Montero had been listed as B-Mets Mon. starter. Not anymore.
