Who Gets The Call on Sept. 1?

[bmfc1]

My guesses are predicated on the theory that you don't want too many players clogging up the locker room and dugout of a pennant contender:

David Newhan
Alomar, Jr. (assuming he is sent down when LoDuca is activated)
Tatis (not on 40 man roster)
Anderson Hernandez
Chip Ambres (not on 40 man roster)


Mike Pelfrey
Willie Collazzo (not on 40 man roster)
Jon Adkins (not on 40 man roster)
Joe Smith
Dave Williams (not on 40 man roster).

10 is probably too many and the notes about the 40 man roster likely makes some of the above incorrect.

Newhan, Anderson Hernandez and Endy Chavez. I suspect they keep 3 but not 4 catchers around.

I think you're right on the two pitchers, Pelfrey and Smith. The only way they add Adkins or Williams is if someone gets hurt and they have to.

I agree with gwreck also on the other three guys, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them keep Alomar around.

Burgos and Humber may well get called up also.

Hernandez would have a role. Probably not Ambres, though.

Valentin will also be added, unless he doesn't get a good med report.

Anyone know when Duaner Sanchez is supposed to come back?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

What about Carlos Gomez?

[seawolf17]

I'd imagine that once Gomez is healthy, he'll be back. Completely forgot about Humber and Burgos.

[nymr83]

i forgot Sanchez too, is he done for the year?

[Valadius]

Last I heard he was out 3-5 months, but that was in March.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Duaner is Duoubtful.

[Frayed Knot]

Doubtful is a nice way of putting it.
Duaner hasn't pitched at all in competition and, even if he were suddenly ready to start, the minor leagues are ending in about a week so he's not going to get a chance to work up to a return.

iow, see ya in February

[Elster88]

What is his contract status?

[Frayed Knot]

I don't believe he's signed for next year that really doesn't matter since he's not yet a 6-year player and is therefore under NYM control if they want to keep him.

As per Metsblog's "Mets Minor League Report"

-Joe Smith has tendinitis in hs elbow and has not pitched in 6 days;
-Ambiorix Burgos "felt something wrong in his elbow" and was removed from his last appearance Friday;
-Mike Pelfrey missed his last start due to fatigue.
