Adam Rubin reports this morning that the Mets are leaning towards placing El Duque on the DL, to give him a little more time to get fully up to speed. If this were done, he could miss as little as two starts if he returned by the 13th. Pelf would most likely get the nod in his place. According to Rubin, the team will most likely wait till the 3pm deadline to make the decision, along with any other roster related moves.

So far all you fans enjoy there, please enjoy the next six hours of no news at all and a million posts across on the blogosphere speculated who nabs those final roster spots. Your Joe Smith and Brady Clark line forms to the left. The Fernando Tatis Club to the right. And the Anderson Hernandez line, well go sit in the corner and think about that one.
