John Lannan gave up five runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings Monday in a loss to the Marlins. Lannan walked four and struck out just one in his first rough outing of the spring. It was starting to look like the Mets' plan was to make Daisuke Matsuzaka their fifth starter and carry Lannan as a reliever, though that was prior to Jon Niese's setback. Now there might be room for both in the rotation. Lannan doesn't look like much of an option in NL-only leagues, though.
