How room was made...call ups...

As expected the Mets recalled pitchers Ricardo Rincon, Carlos Muniz, Bobby Parnell, Jon Niese and Al Reyes, along with position players Ramon Martinez, Gustavo Molina and Argenis Reyes. They also decided to bring up pitcher Brandon Knight and activate Marlon Anderson from the DL. To make room for the players not already on the 40 man roster they moved Orlando Hernandez, Jason Vargas, Matt Wise and Trot Nixon to the 60 day DL. The only player's currently on the the 40 man roster, who aren't on the DL or recalled are Eddie Kunz, Adam Bostick and either Lugo or Collazo. Bostick finished the season on the minor league DL and I'm surprised they didn't place him on the 60 day DL to make room. Kunz didn't appear ready and I think they could have removed him from the roster without risk because players with under three years professional experience don't have to be protected on the roster. The only surprise is Trot Nixon I expected him up to provide veteran leadership and a pinch hit bat, his rehab seemed to go very well in AAA. For the last roster spot they designated a player for assignment, MLB.com reports that player to be Willie Collazo while Adam Rubin says it's Ruddy Lugo...



Brandon Knight has been added to the Mets’ list of call-ups. He’ll likely arrive near the first pitch of today’s game against the Brewers because of the late decision.
