Mets Roster Central: Transfusing

[Edgy MD]

 

It speaks to how sickly the Mets — and baseball in general — understand their audience to be, that one of their primary sponsors is Thrive Well Infusion.  If you need plasma or medication delivered intravenously, you have our compassion, thought it feels unseemly that our wellbeing has not only become such a commercial enterprise, but has become the commercial enterprise, to judge from baseball advertisements.

Well, that and gambling.

But nobody understands more than the Mets, who are in a constant state of being re-infused.

Signed as International Amateur Free Agent out of The Dominican Republic, Not Yet Assigned

Enmanuel Feliz

R/R DoB: 2007-04-25 High Level: Academy (2026)

There are several Enmanuel Felizes (the plural may possibly be Felices) who have passed through the affiliate minor-league universe in recent years.  This guy may possibly be one of them, but it appears that no, this is a new young fresh fellow.

We hope to soon find a face for this out-of-season Dominican signing, but please know that an infusion has occurred for the DSL Mets.

An infusion of Felicity.

L/R DoB: 1993-01-30 High Level: MLB (2026)	R/R DoB: 2001-02-03 High Level: Frontier League (2025)

Kodai Senga's rehab starts have kind of gone like his recent MLB starts.  A little bit to impress at the outset, with a dancing ghost fork and more velocity than he's shown in previous seasons, but then he kind of falls over himself by his third inning — losing the plate and laying get-it-over hangers in there until he gets pulled mid-inning.

Whether it hints at an ongoing health matter or a future in the bullpen is an open question, but the Mets don't seem to be in a hurry to have him back, and will hope the ongoing Jonah Tong infusion can be potent enough in the mentime.

Infusing his way out of the Frontier League is Jackson Hauge.  Boss Hauge is coming off a rock solid career with Minnesota State and Kansas, where he mostly played outfield.  He's mostly seeing time at first base as a pro, which suggests that his speed is less than impressive.  The bat certainly plays (he put in four outstanding seasons in the wood-bat Northwoods League), but the MLB draft is down to 20 rounds, and righthanded firstbasemen often aren't a big get.

Here's hoping the bat proves them wrong.

Is Tobias Myers' exile to the minors just and excuse to get a fresh arm in the pen after an extra-inning win, or are the Mets trying to turn him into a starter?  The latter was suggested by Grand Central Mets forum poster Gwreck, when he excerpted this Carlos Mendoza quote from a team report:

“It’s just going to be more scripted,” Mendoza said. “Where if you’re going to go and throw 35-45 pitches, then he’s able to get the three or four days after that, something that at this level with the competition you aren’t able to do.

Intriguing, no?  We mean, it's not all together clear what the Mets manager is saying, but it's something intriguing.

Anyhow, as impressive the AAA ERA of veteran Cionel Perez' is (2.57 in seven innings), and as impressive his symmetrical beard is in his thumbnail, Anderson Severino (DFA'd to create roster room) is doing even better at Syracuse (1.31 in 20 2/3 innings), even if his beard is shrubbier.  We're guessing that Perez simply had the fresher arm, or perhaps that the Mets place a high premium on beard neatness ... when they are looking for an infusion.
