Which Mets pitcher coulda played the field after Wright was ejected?

In Sunday's game, David Wright was ejected and there was no position player able to take his position at 3b, leading to some speculation that in the game thread that Manuel would have to insert a pitcher in the field should the Mets have tied the game. Question: If you had to put in a pitcher in the field in this situation, which pitcher do you think would give the Mets the best chance to win? My answer: move Francoeur in to 3rd base and play Santana in RF. He seems like the best athlete on the pitching staff, and since Maine and Pelf (our only righties) don't look like they could play in the any non-1B IF positions, I say, let Santana play in right. I think his arm could play there. Other idea: place a pitcher pitcher at first, Frenchy to 3rd, and Ike Davis to RF. Any other ideas?
