Jorge Sosa’s strong relief work for the Mets this spring may have earned him a spot in the starting rotation.
Quoting a “person in the Mets hierarchy,” an article on the Mets’ Web site says the team is considering the 30-year-old right-hander for the final spot in a rotation that includes Johan Santana, Pedro Martinez, Oliver Perez and John Maine.
Sosa has a 0.75 ERA in 12 innings of work in Florida this spring.
Either Orlando Hernandez or Mike Pelfrey was expected to fill the slot, but neither has pitched well enough this spring to earn it.
