Mets said to recall the following dudes who will be in Miami Monday:
Josh Satin
Juan Centeno
Erik Goeddel
Dario Alvarez

A collective "WtF is Dario Avarez?"

Lefty reliever who started the season in high A ball.

But anyone who predicted that he would be up ahead of some of the more highly touted prospects, gets a tip o' my hat.

May be up as the needed 3rd LHR but not someone they're fretting about protecting this winter.
Already 25 y/o (26 by OD 2015) and spent a majority of the year in Savannah. Orignally a refugee of the Philly system
Also apparently didn't pitch anywhere from 2010-2012

IOW, an arm, not a prospect.

[Edgy MD]

10-1, 1.10 ERA, with 114 strikeouts and only 17 walks in 73 1/3 innings.

I'll take it!!

[Frayed Knot]

And a .88 WHiP!!
Only caveat is that most of that occurred in A-ball

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Apparently Edgin's elbow is all messed up and so we need some lefties.

[Edgy MD]

Still, he leapfrogged Lannan, Gorski, Leathersich, Chism, Cuan... even Matz!

But if you just want an arm for the month and don't want to waste service time on a guy like Matz that you'll need later, then this might be a shrewd move. DFA him in October if he turns out to be nothing special.

LV is also in the playoffs, so there's a reason to keep the 51s roster mostly intact for the time being.

Goeddel first 62 since Elvin Ramirez. Rosario the first 68.

Satin & Centeno hold steady at 13 & 36, respectively.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wasn't Erik Goeddel the midget who played for the St. Louis Browns 70 years ago?

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, but he's grown some since.
