Garcia assigned to minor league camp

OK, Mets...just make the announcement already. Livan Hernandez is the No. 5 starter, but they haven't said it yet.

Freddy Garcia has be assigned to minor league camp, and contrary to previous reports Garcia will stick with the team.

Assistant GM John Ricco had this to say, as quoted by Peter Botte:
"He still has a ways to go," Ricco said, "but I'm glad he's going to stay with us and try to work things out."
Garcia must know he's looked rough this spring. I'm sure we'll see him on the Mets sometime this summer.
