Mets Roster Central: Scott Gets Hip

[Edgy MD]

 

Since former Mets' general manager Billy Eppler was disciplined for improperly using the Injured List to stash otherwise healthy players, it has been something folks are wary of, as suspicious transactions continue.  One may suspect that the punishment Eppler received didn't make front offices adverse to the practice so much as make them more careful about dotting their i's and crossing their t's when doing so.

Victor Gallegos

R/R DoB: 2007-07-14 High Level: Academy (2026)

Before we get to Injured List considerations, let us first welcome young Victor Gallegos to the organization.  Victor hails from Sonora, Mexico; his name means "Gallician Winner"; and he appears to be from a professional baseball family, but we have not been able to suss out just who he is related to.

You can watch him get the news of his first professional contract here, complete with dramatic music to heighten the mood, and what sounds like a mother's sobs.

When Tobias Myers went down to Syracuse two weeks ago, it was reported that they were trying to get some controlled scheduling over his usage, but there were hints that they were trying to stretch him into a starting role, and "get some controlled scheduling over his usage" sure sounds like a euphemism for that, especially if, you know, that controlled usage plays out in progressively longer workdays.

And that is just what has happened, as Tobias has made three minor league appearances (all scoreless, with only one hit yielded), totaling 1 1/3, 2, and 2 2/3 innings.  He returns after having sat since June 11, and as he is replacing a cog in the starting rotation, it's not crazy to suspect that his schedule start this evening is a start in fact, and not an opening.

Christian Scott, for his part, has been consistently perfectly effective in his first season back from UCL surgery, and it makes perfect sense that the Mets would want to give him a two-week break to help ensure he will still be available come September, Billy Eppler be damned.

It's a theory.  To believe it means you need to accept that the Mets, already with five big-league starters on the IL, chose to stash a sixth there.  But some version of Kodai Senga seems to be nearing a return, and if the theory turns out to be true, well, we won't tell if you won't.
