The Mets have placed Tony Armas Jr. on the 15-day disabled list due to a pulled adominal muscle.
Carlos Muniz has been recalled to take Armas’ spot on the 25-man roster.
…jeez, muniz is racking up the frequent flyer miles on the Heath Bell Express…

nooo. where the hell is vargas? he pitched fine for us
Vargas and Figueroa were both DFA’d and taken off the 40-man roster so the Mets would have to take someone else off the roster to bring one of them up. Muniz still has options so he’s been the easiest choice of reliever to run back and forth.
well considering that Jason Vargas, Ambiorix Burgos, and even El Duque could all be moved to the 60 day DL they have no restrictions on who they want to call up.
They chose Muniz over them.
He hasn’t been that bad. He has given up 8 runs in 11.2 innings but 4 came in one game where he pitched 1.2 innings. You remove that one game and he has a 3.60 ERA and a sub 1 WHIP. He seems to have a live arm and is worth a shot. Plus he has more RP experience in terms of pitching multiple days in a row which not sure Vargas can do as well.
keep muniz up here until elduque is ready, which maybe never
How about calling up Figueroa for the long relief spot? He’s been pitching pretty well for New Orleans
I forgot about him.
Muniz …
Do you keep a separate toothbrush in N.O. and put one in a travel bag?
They don’t travel that well. You know they are moist etc. So I am just curious about your system.
When you get back from your trip if you do have two, don’t forget to air the travel one so it dries, then put it back in the bag.
goodluck.
Figgy has no business being on this team.
They got a real passion for this scrub Muniz.
Where’s Danny Graves?
Last year I thought he might do OK but this year he’s gotten wacked around almost every time he’s pitched. I was looking at the Mets minor league teams, especially AAA - pretty much a vast wasteland. Can anyone tell me what’s with Angel Pagan?? The guy has fallen off the ends of the earth. Are the Mets hiding something here?
Last week they said pagan might have season ending surgery…
I would give figgy a shot at long relief.
He’s still hoping to avoid surgery, but has been having issues with his shoulder.
I do kinda like Muniz, anyway, he’s done more travelling than Bell, who only had to go to Virginia, not Louisiana.
c’mon Muniz isn’t bad he’s still very young. You trade this guy and watch him grow up to be another Heath Bell. El Duque will probably take his spot when he is healthy again. I think the best option would’ve been was bringing Vargas. Why don’t they bring up Fernando Martinez, instead of Nick Evans?
because bringing up OF prospects too early leads to diminishing returns, case in point, both Millege and Gomez. before Gomez came up we could gotten Santana for him straight up.
Maybe if you were the Twins GM.
Agreed. Even F-Mart straight up would never have happened.
…key word there being “grow.”
FIne, but I don’t want to see him pitch in tight situations yet. Smith is proving he can handle them.
I think Heilman will have his typical second half surge for us, so he’s restoring my confidence somewhat. Muniz simply hasn’t pitched enough to be worthy of condemnation, right?
Figueroa proved that he is NOT a major league pitcher.
However, I felt we were fortunate not to lose Vargas when he was DFA’d last time. There are a lot of teams that could do worse, and do send out worse every five days. Where the hell is he??
Wasn’t Vargas a FA when we picked him up? So any team could have had him then, and I don’t think there was a real bidding war for his services.
It would be real nice if El Duque could come back and settle into the long man role.
do the mets lead the league in players on the DL?
maybe the NL, the Yankees gotta lead the ML, they got 3 SPs on the DL…that team would be in Nats territory if not for Mo Rivera……we got the wrong sandman…but the right 2005 draft choice…ha
4. You’re forgetting Pavano (hahahahahaha) but truthfully, he’s on the DL.
Where is Turk Wendell
and Dennis Cook since u asked
Right here.
Hey Turk… welcome…
Can I have a piece of your necklace please?
TURKKKKKKKKk
can players be placed retroactively on the 60-day DL like they can on the 15-day DL? if so we should do this with jason vargas, wise and pagan. so there should be no 40-man roster rule we can’t bring up figgy or claudio vargas.
yes they can, and yes the Mets will do that if they need the spots for others.
Vargas, Burgos, and Duque should be the first to go on the 60 as they are not going to be seen this year.
I need to speak with Muniz. He must have a creative system for always having a bag packed.
the mets have the best medical staff in the history of team sports
Dear Fan,
I’m Carlos Muniz. Right now I’m up again but soon I’ll be down again and then up again.
I would like to turn this into a song. The more money I make is nice for me and for you is nice (to know).
Warm Regards,
Carlos P. Muniz
Paging El Duque…El Duque to the bullpen please…Paging El Duque…your seat is now available.
Man, what a bunch of old scrubs we have! But, in the spirit of the Even-Steven 2008 Mets that has been discussed some spots including on It’s Mets For Me (
