The Mets have announced OF Brady Clark was designated for assignment and C Gustavo Molina has been activated to take Clark’s place on 25-man roster.
Molina was batting .288 with 1 HR and 9 RBI in 52 at-bats for Triple-A New Orleans this season.

Was Molina a heavy set guy who played first base as well?
Never saw him play, but Molina does have some 1B experience. He seems a step up in the recent Mets backup catcher options (DiFelice, Alomar, Jr, Casanova) in that he’s still young, has some versatility if he indeed can play 1B competently, plus apparently he has a cannon behind the plate.
You’re thinking of Robinson Cancel.
Yup you’re right Nec thanks man.
No prob. Cancel is on the Minor League DL right now, otherwise, he’d probably be the starting catcher. I recall reading he worked really hard with Sandy Alomar, Jr. on his game-calling during ST and Sandy Jr. was truly a marquee game-caller.
I found this Fire Willie Petition. Not sure how long it’s been around, but I’m going to start getting it around the internet and Monitor it. As of now (when I found it) it has 21 signatures. I’m sure within a week, it’ll be near a thousand.

It’s not Willie’s fault. Does Willie control if Heilman has a meltdown or Jose or Delgado muff up plays in the field?
The Mets’ problems right now rest solely on the players. They need to pick it up, not Willie.
No but he does control whether or not he brings Heilman in. Right now Heilman is one of the worst relievers in the NL and he still LEADS the league in appearances. Why does he need to bring him in there??
I wonder if this means that Schneider’s arm may be hurting him a little more than we thought.
Not like Clark was doing much anyway but keeping the bench warm.
did u miss the part about the infected finger?
Yep.. Kinda jumped the gun. I was watching Loudmouths and came to Metsblog and this was the first story I saw. Hadn’t heard anything about his thumb up till now.
Is Loud Mouths live?
I’ve only seen a little bit of that show once or twice. If it’s live, they really should have reported it. Even if it’s not, those guys are way too busy listening to the sounds of their own voices to actually do anything productive with their TV time.
Yeah, I don’t know. But you’ve got a point. A starting player goes down with an infected thumb and the team makes a roster move, and yet not a single mention of it on DNL, Wheelhouse, or Loudmouths… nothing until Mets Pregame. Is SNY asleep at the wheel?
This is why I miss the 6 pm GEICO broadcast.
he has an infected thumb. It was posted right before the pregame notes
Anyone notice SNY made Matt take down the Joe Smith “curse” video? First the Willie poll, now this. I was at work so I didn’t get a chance to see it, however I knew SNY would have taken it down by the time I got home. LAME.
Did you read Matt’s earlier post about his relationship with SNY? Please get a clue.
Just saw it on Youtube, what does he say about “you’ve got 7,000?” couldn’t make that out. Then he says something like, “I’m in the majors YOU IDIOT!” He sounds like such a child, he’s about to cry.
The best part is when the little 10 year old kid with his father screams “Joe Smith… Go grab your ankles you b|tch!!”
did u guys read the post matt made earlier today about how he has sole control over what gets posted here? his post was something along the lines of sny has no control over what is posted here, i control it all and i would not have partnered with sny if they were to have control….so most likely this was taken down by him, as well as the willie poll….some people will whine and complain about anything.
Well if you’re going to take it down why put it up in the first place? Not a complaint but a valid question.
the comments were probably getting too out of hand
So why would the post with about 50+ comments SUDDENLY be taken down with NO explanation by matt? You’re telling me SNY didn’t advise him to take it down? You believe everything you read don’t you? HOGWASH!
So much for the filter for twits like this guy.
I presume this is bad news for Brian Schneider’s return, especially because he is back out of the line up tonight.
he has an infected left thumb. if you scroll down to before the pregame post it is there
I doubt it’s SNY. MLB goes after youtube videos very, very harshly. Go try to watch some baseball on youtube, you’ll have trouble.
My guess is that MLB made youtube take down the video, so the link is no longer of any value.
Nah it’s still up on you tube… search “joe smith cubs”
Someone made matt take it off the site.
I’m just wondering, why do you care so much if Matt took it down?
Oh Goody, now we have a Molina catcher like everyone else.;)
he isn’t related to Bengie/Jose/Yadier
If Schenider’s injury was serious, wouldn’t they put him on the DL and have Molina take HIS place instead of Clarks?
If Schneider won’t be ready in 10 days, then he gets DL’d when Alou is ready. If he will, then Alou probably waits til Schneider is ready, and Molina goes back to AAA.
It’s only a few days difference for Clark — he was the cut for Alou, anyway.
The next roster move I’d like to see is to DFA Marlon Anderson, and replace him with a middle infield glove as the 25th man. Once Alou is back, Pagan & Chavez won’t get enough ABs anyway…
An middle infield glove? Anderson Hernandez?
I don’t think that will happen unless Reyes or Castillo are injured.
I don’t think you can give up on Marlon that easily. I mean, this is a guy that has absolutely dominated as a pinch hitter over the past 3 seasons. He did hit the home run last night, so maybe he’s starting to get out of his little slump. When all is said and done, he’ll still be the league’s top PH by the end of the year.
believe everything i read? no, never, but when matt goes out of his way to make a post about on the blog, then yea i believe him, and theres nothing wrong with that
mets fans and there conspiracies…everyday seems like there is a new one
Two hits. That’s what Ruben Gotay was worth. Two godforsaken hits.
Gotay is 3-14 (.214) off the Braves’ bench and would likely have been the player cut today by the Mets to make room for Molina had he still been here. If only he could’ve filled in at catcher, or hit left hand pitchers, or fielded well…
SNY signed Harold Reynolds
Don’t worry. Pvhornet05 is on the case!
and Darryl Strawberry!
OK, so who is the first genius who will claim that Aaron Heilman wouldnt suck if he was a starter…I mean this guy cant get anyone out,you guys still want him to be a starter….send him to AAA, we all knew Sosa was gonna give up HRs, so we cxant be shocked when he does it, what is this guys excuse
