The Buffalo Bison's are reporting that Rob Mackowiak was released to make room for Brandon Knight who was re-assigned to AAA. A few years ago I thought Mackowiak would be a good signing as a AAAA super utility player who could be called up to play any position in a pinch but the team has better versions this year in Cory Sullivan and Bobby Kielty.The Buffalo Bisons, Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets, today announced that RHP Brandon Knight has been activated from Brooklyn (A). He is scheduled to start for the Herd today against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees at Coca-Cola Field (1:05 p.m.). To make room on the roster, the New York Mets have released INF Rob Mackowiak. source MiLB

Buffalo 5, Scranton 6
Brandon Knight’s first start of the season was pretty bad, he surrendered 8 hits and 5 runs in 5 innings, though he did strike out 7. He escaped the loss because Kei Igawa pitched just as pitifully for the AAA Yankees (how big of a disaster was that signing, lol). Jon Switzer [...]
