Ken Takahashi in, Casey Fossum out. Don't tell me you're asking for more analysis than that!?
Fine.
Ken Takahashi is a 40-year-old rookie who has finally made his way here after many years playing professionally in Japan. When Jerry Manuel hands him the ball for the first time, probably as soon as tonight, he will make history as the oldest Japanese baseball player to make his MLB debut. Yet another easily forgotten answer to a dubious trivia question involving the New York Mets.
Casey Fossum once had some promise, but that train left the station quite some time ago. Now, Casey Fosuum is only employed as a professional baseball player by virtue of throwing with his left arm. He'll land on his feet somewhere - probably right back in Buffalo.
This entire post should've been a Twitter update.

Jack, three weeks in my fitness camp and you'll be on the mound at Citi. We definitely need another spot lefty.
I may take you up on that this summer.
