For those who haven't heard, Mike Pellfrey has been moved to the Mets 25 man roster, and is expecting to pitch tonight(assuming there's not a monsoon in Queens right now). El Duque will be bumped a spot in the rotation to get an extra days rest. To make room, Lastings Milledge has gone to AAA New Orleans.

Well, that was pretty much expected. Not a shocker. I know everyone wants to see Lastings start, but Green has been doing quite well so far, his BA has been more active than a lot of the rest of the lineup, and his defense isn't as horrible as predicted. He's actually made a few good plays out in right, though granted he's made one or two bad ones as well. Its probably better for Lastings to go down to AAA and play more often, then to keep him on a bench where he isn't even getting an at bat a night.
