Why Garcia went with the Mets

I am sure the contract offer had something to do with it but from what I have read around the blog world is that Freddie Garcia thought he has a better chance of making the starting rotation with the Mets then the Yankees.

He felt that the Yankees could still add free agent Andy Pettite to the rotation and then it would be tough to break into the rotation. He thinks the Mets if they still land another starter that Garcia could battle for the 5th spot with Tim Redding. Which to me it would be nice to have the luxury of having Redding in the bullpen.

Would be nice to have a long man which the Mets have not had an effective long man since they let Darren Oliver jet off to the West Coast.
