Well it's now official, there seemed to be some confusion as to who was being designated to make room for the players the Mets wanted to call-up. Initially it was reported that Lugo was designated but then Willie Collazo was on the actual transaction list. Then it was reported that both Collazo and Lugo were designated but while Collazo was removed from the 40 man roster Lugo's name remained. But on...

• Lefthander Willie Collazo also has been designated for assignment to make roster room. • Pedro Martinez will spend the Milwaukee series in New York working out with his trainer Chris Correnti. • Jerry Manuel said he’d try to find a spot to use Bobby Parnell in relief, but it will be hard for Parnell to work his way up the pecking order in the bullpen in the four weeks left.

The Mets may have more urgency to find relief help for the pen now that it appears Billy Wagner will be heading to the DL. Brian Stokes and Willie Collazo haven't been very impressive in New Orleans and both have over 6 ERAs in the majors. Burgos has begun to pitch but won't be ready until late Aug. or early Sept. Mets Prespectus makes a case for promoting Robert Parnell to join the rest of the kids...

Once again LHP Willie Collazo is showing his versatility, Collazo was primarily a left handed specialist reliever but the Mets decided to make him a starter. Collazo came up last year but had very little success, he pitched in relief in six games to an ERA of 6.35. To me he's a typical AAAA pitcher but the Mets seem to like him, after a long look in spring training they sent him to New Orleans where...
