Since then the Mets have gone two players over 25 men with the return of David Wright and the call-up of Josh Thole.They currently have 44 players on the the roster but five players are on the 60 day DL, leaving them one roster spot. The Mets are still carrying three questionable players; Argenis Reyes, Andy Green and Arturo Lopez. As I said before if these players don't have the value to be called up...

You'll see him soon, but don't expect much. The ruff rider has certainly lived up to his nickname this season. Vitals Born 4/8/86 Physical Stat...

Thole, 22, upped his average to .332 with a three-hit game for Double-A Binghamton on Friday, although he had only one homer through 361 at-bats and is generally content choking up on his bat and hitting singles. A 13th-round pick in 2005 from Breese, Ill., who learned to hit in a barn, Thole (right) c...

Now, this isn't another Bernazard bash post, in fact I'm trying to focus on baseball and the people who are still around that are making the decisions.But there are at least two players who I feel should get a chance with the major league team, that seem to have been buried in the organizations. Eddie Kunz was the 42nd overall pick in the 2007 draft, he was s...

But Niese is an expendable prospect IMO, he projects at best to be a middle of the rotation pitcher and the Mets have three young pitchers already in the middle of the rotation ( ...

The Mets reliever, who was promoted from Double-A Binghmaton last July, said his experience in 2008 will take away the "shock" of the pitching in the majors next time the opportunity comes.

Kunz was brought into the perfect situation to show what he has, the Pirates are a weak hitting team and the Mets were up by six runs. Even those die hard Kunz's fans who believed that closers struggled with big leads or that he was rusty do to having six days off couldn't justify tonight's performance. I've been leery of Kunz since he came up because he simply hasn&#3...

At some point in August, before the traditional September roster expansion, you can expect the organization to baptize Fernando Martinez, Jon Niese and Eddie Kunz.
