2009 25-Man Roster

[seawolf17]

Kevin Burkhardt just tweeted that Evans will replace Fartinez.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Swapping outfielders, but not Wily Mo. That dream waits for another day.

Meanwhile, check out Nieve's new hat!

Huge array of transactions for a Met team looking to reload any way they can.

This team is missing their Clendenon and their Agee. That's a lot of pressure on Cleon Jones, so to speak.

does everyone else think it's kinda cool and ballsy going with only 5 guys with infield gloves. I love the idea that we may have a game where Sheff does a few innings at first or something like that.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, I'm never keen on overdosing on relief pitchers, but I guess Argenis will replace Misch or Switzer in a couple of days. Meantime, I guess Reed or Sheffield can fake it at first. How many days do you really think they'll go with Tatis as their only backup at short and second?

Meanwhile, Cora is playing through a fracture.

[seawolf17]

Actually, what's Cleon up to? He's not much older than Sheff.

[Fman99]

Nice quote from the intrepid Mr. Cora on recent roster issues, courtesy of Cerrone...

The Mets current 25�man roster will earn roughly $60 million this season, or around the same level as the Rays, Orioles and Twins. �We can deal with this. We�re not as bad as people think we are,� Alex Cora said last night, according to MLB.com. �Don�t feel sorry for the Metropolitans.�

Referring to his own team as the "Metropolitans" is balls ass cool.

[Guest Edgy DC]

If Reyes went down last year, we'd've had Damion Easley filling in.

[Vic Sage]

i've heard repeatedly from Minaya and others that Cora is a real asset in the clubhouse. Not that i wouldn't prefer to have, you know, like a good player in that position, but he's not bad, and if he brings that dimension too, well that's cool.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, I'm sure Easley was a cluhouse asset also. It's just that he didn't have much baseball left.

Alex Cora is probably as good as many starting shortstops, but lacks any standout offensive skill to get anybody excited enough to give him the job.

So you sign some Julio Lugo with more upside, he getss the job or replaces the starter when he's hurt, then moves on when they try somebody else with more upside or the stater heals. It's a living.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Getting away from this eight reliever nonsense is, well, a relief is what it is.

Hey, Charlie Samuels, let's say we get a real hat for Misch already. Reyes, too, while you're at it. Come on.

One guy back. It's good for something.

Can't say I approve of giving another roster spot to the bullpen.

Edgy, Perez is off the DL.
But looking at the number of guys still on it, I think there was a higher survival rate on the Titanic.

Later

Angel Berroa, the first entry in the Ultimate SHaM Database.

Now that Misch's hat is correct, can we straighten out Berroa's? NOW!!!!

Wow, thanks. That was fast.

And it looks fake as hell.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This move isn't about replacing Nieve so much as replacing Sheffield. I'm unsure why they went to Sully instead of Evans, as he's likely to go back in a few days, and has no options.

First move here is one I didn't get in because of Verizon problems at home. Second move is today's emergency move to cover Schneider's banged-uppedness. I'm guessing Cancel starts game two.

Misch optioned to Buffalo and Figgy on his way in. Misch apparently lobbied for the start tonight to no Mike (A)Vail.

Elmer Ascends. Ol' number 64 was called up to replace Niese on the active roster. No word on who goes to make room for Andy Handy yet.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, that's why I was holding off.

Wouldn't Ms. Figueroa's head explode if Nelson got DFA'd again?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

They're down to twelve pitchers, so I suppose either Castillo or Sheffield gets disabled, or we have seen the last of Angel Berroa. Can't see them going with eleven pitchers.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whither Misch?

[Guest Edgy DC]

If they haven't announced a roster move yet, I'm guessing Anderson won't be rejoining the team tonight

The Mets swap out alleged offense for alleged defense, and, um, get younger I guess.

Berroa and Figueroa have rhyming names and disappointing fates.
