Cinco de Mayo=playing time for Mexicans?ESPN.com:Fredi Gonzalez sat struggling rookie CF Cameron Maybin and started Alfredo Amezaga. "It's a new league rule," Gonzalez said. "On Cinco de Mayo, you've got to play the Mexican players you have on your team."Mets Manager Jerry Manuel must not have gotten the memo because Oliver Perez did not pitch last night in Atlanta out of the bullpen. Bummer.

Yesterday the Mets finally did something about Oliver Perez. They did not send him to the minors, nor did they put him on the disabled list after Ollie announced Sunday that his knee has been “injured” since the start of the season. Instead Fred Wilpon and Omar Minaya flew down to Atlanta and decided along [...]

In a surprising but predictable Mets fashion, Oliver Perez will go to the bullpen to work out his problems.
It’s a terrible move for everyone involved because in effect the Mets are now working with a 24 man roster until Perez can get his act together.
It would have been better to send Perez to the minors [...]

In an excellent article by John Harper of the Daily News, Harper believes that Omar Minaya has a lot to answer for should the Mets fail to make the playoffs this season despite the new 3 year contract he got from the Wilpons.
Between his “we-don’t-have-an-edge” comments to Fox sports.com, which Minaya insists were misinterpreted, and Oliver Perez [...]

I found the timing to be unusual, but the Mets eventually did what they should have done Sunday morning when Ollie showed up with an ice pack on his knee, and placed him on the disabled list.The idea of the Mets fixing Perez as the second left handed reliever in the pen made very little sense. His pitching opportunities would have been inconsistent and more then likely would come...

Ever since the Saturday meltdown in Philadelphia fans and media alike have been speculating how to fix Oliver Perez. Here is a wild thought: how about trade him? How you ask? Why not call the Tampa Bay Rays and try to reacquire Scott Kazmir.

It has been reported that Oliver Perez is headed to the New York Mets bullpen.
According to Manager Jerry Manuel, he experienced the same thing with two starters when he was manager of the Chicago White Sox - James Baldwin and Jon Garland. I guess what Jerry means is that those two pitchers had the unique ability to [...]
