Roster Moves: Quintanilla, Schwinden, Turner, Acosta

Found May 29, 2012 on Mets Chronicle: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Omar Quintanilla,  Chris Schwinden
TEAMS: New York Mets
Mlb_may_10_db91
The Mets will promote Omar Quintanilla and Chris Schwinden for Tuesday's game, with Quintanilla -- a former Rockie and Ranger -- expected to start at shortstop. To clear roster room, the Mets are expected to designate Acosta (11.86 ERA) for assignment and place Turner on the disabled list. Quintanilla fouled a ball off a foot Sunday, but played Monday for Triple-A Buffalo without issue. He was hitting .282 with six homers and 27 RBIs in 156 at-bats with the Bisons. Schwinden tossed 99 pitches for Buffalo on Sunday, but presumably would be asked to step in if Hefner has a short outing today in his second major league start.

Mets Finally Cut Acosta As Turner Heads To DL, Schwinden and Quintanilla Called Up

Following Monday’s 8-4 loss to Philadelphia, the Mets made several roster moves: After leaving the game with an apparent ankle injury, Justin Turner will be placed on the 15-day DL with a sprained ankle. To replace the replacement to the replacement for Ruben Tejada, the Mets have promoted infielder Omar Quintanilla from Triple-A Buffalo to presumably be the everyday shortstop...

Unlikely Heroes Push the Mets Past Phillies, 6-3

Omar Quintanilla. Jeremy Hefner. Scott Hairston.  If someone told me prior to tonight’s game that those would be the names of the offensive stars of the night for the Mets, I’d have said this team was in danger of being swept tomorrow.  But that isn’t the case, as the Mets are in position to take yet another series from the Phillies tomorrow on the strength on some big offensive...

Roster Shakeup: Acosta, Schwinden, Quintanilla and What’s Next

Via 213 Miles From Shea  |  May 28, 2012
Manny Acosta was finally DFA’d today as the Mets made some roster moves. If you watched today’s game, the writing was on wall for Manny pretty much immediately. He came into the game with the Mets down a run and promptly gave up two hits and then some how struck out a batter. Then he gave up a three run bomb and the Mets were basically out of it from that point on. Acosta leaves...

Dickey pitched 7⅓ innings of shutout ball against the Padres, allowing three hits, walking one and striking out ten batters.  The 10-K performance gave Dickey 29 strikeouts over his last three starts (20⅓ IP).  It also helped in lowering his ERA to 3.06, a number Dickey had...

Depth and Opportunity

Via Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest  |  May 30, 2012
The Mets have no depth on their 40-man roster. You’ve heard that since the offseason. I preached it here consistently during spring training.  I believed this club had an outside chance of winning about 85 games; maybe even competing in a pennant race for a second Wild Card. What would derail them was their depth, or lack of it. The names were not exciting. Vinny Rottino, Jeremy...
