Is Casanova the best bat we have in the minors? We have lost Alou and Church (day to day) and we bring up a third catcher?
Why?

I thought Sosa was being misused but so be it. Thanks for the stretch of time when you were good, last year.

Most players arn’t playing when their kids graduate high school, good for him. I think we should be more worried that we did not have any position player besides a third catcher worthy of making the trip.

Pagan is on the major league DL last time I heard.

Didnt they send down Caleb Stewart because of the glut of outfielders at NO? None of them are ready to play in the majors but they’re good enough to keep the AA outfielders form playing up there?

Just saw where Clark is out for the year with a knee, and that Pagan is on the minor league DL. So maybe Casanova is up for the duration.

The Mets need a starter for the game on Saturday (due to the doubleheader on Tues). My guess would be that Cassanova is up for Thurs/Friday to have a bat off the bench. Then he will be sent down for the pitcher on Sat ( Figgy ??? ) and immediately after the game they will send the pitcher down and bring up an outfielder like Brady Clark.

Seems convoluted, but makes sense. Once a player is sent to the minors, he can’t come back up for 10 days, so bringing up Clark now would mean another roster move just to get a starter for Sat.

Casanova’s the only bat we have available? Bah. Why not give Pascucci a shot?

Also, bat Delgado 2nd. If the team can’t score any runs, try something new.

He’ll get some real good pitches to hit, in front of Wright. If nothing else, it’ll demonstrate just how much he has (or doesn’t have) left.
