You can't tell your team that there is 'competition' for any roster spots then turn around and not give Mendoza the starting rotation spot.
He flat took it. He came into camp in 3rd in a 2-horse race and he simply stole the spot by outpitching his competition. Will he probably fall on his face later? Yup, most likely, but you still have to give him that chance in order to at least give the impression that camp had any merit at all.
