Because spring is more recent, and they were all competing for a job, not working on stuff with a spot assured. People rightfully downplay spring, but its not completely irrelevant. I wouldn't pick Duffy, but Mendoza's had a great spring. If its fool's gold fine, but he more than earned a chance to prove that he actually can pitch.
