Aaron Laffey to be used as starter next week
Aaron Laffey - R - New York Mets

Aaron Laffey, who has worked exclusively out of the Mets bullpen this spring, will be stretched out and given a start in a Grapefruit League contest next week.
The idea behind it, is to give the team an insurance policy in the event that Johan Santana isn't ready for the start of the regular season. Of his 22 appearances with the Blue Jays in 2012, Laffey made 16 starts and posted a 4.56 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 48/37 K/BB ratio in 100 2/3 innings. His fantasy value is extremely limited.
