GM Omar Minaya said he is more open to the idea of keeping Mejia, 20, as a reliever than he was earlier in the spring "because he has shown more command" than he did as a minor-leaguer. Minaya said that even if need for such a bullpen weapon dictates the move, he still sees Mejia as a starter in the future. "Other starters have done it, starting out in the bullpen," the GM said. "Johan Santana did it."
