John Maine has been put on the Disabled List due to a bone spur in his right shoulder.
He will be replaced on the roster by Luis Castillo, who has been activated from the 15–day disabled list.
…so, i guess this means Argenis Reyes will remain with the team, meaning the Mets now have a three-way platoon at second base…
…additionally, the buzz from Shea Stadium still suggests that Mike Pelfrey will be skipped in his next start, but i have to imagine that will change…it would seem it makes more sense, at this point, to pitch Brian Stokes for maine, and keep pelfrey on turn…then, after September 1, when players from the 40–man Roster can be promoted, the team can deal with how best to fill in the rotation with more bodies in the mix…

so will castillo pitch for us?
Sure. We can’t expect him to field the ball after he pitches it but who needs fielding when you have Luis Castillo?
this is actually a decent option for keeping reyes up and getting castillo back. Now that we got 3 2b, its a shame we dont have 3 catchers any more.
As of now, I’d guess Stokes is starting this week, that way no one needs to be brought up until sept 1.
get rid of stokes for neise. make neise eligible for post season- he’s actually a lefty that could get a swing and miss from the bulppen.
All that needs to happen for Neise to be eligible is that he be added to the 40-man roster…is that what you meant?
How do you know Niese can get major league hitters out?
Don’t know if he can, but I know Stokes can’t and I hold my breath when I see Feliciano or Show pitch.
really, I must have been missing the 6 innings that Stokes has not allowed any runs out of the Mets shattered bullpen.
and FYI, I know he had a crappy game out of the pen against Pittsburgh in there as well, but he has still gotten outs in between one bad appearance.
I’m afraid Stokes down the stretch will be this years Brian Lawrence.
I think we will be lucky if he is that good.
I’m sure Stokes would be a little better than Lawrence (not saying much of course). At least Stokes’ fastball isn’t timed by a calendar. However, don’t really want him in the rotation……
Timed by a calendar—that’s great!!
Thought you guys might enjoy that one…
Neise is eligible for the post season roster as hes in the organization and will be able to take the spots of the someone who is injured when the first round starts - for instance, M Alou.
This is a joke, right? Niese isn’t the guy we need for critical bullpen outs in the postseason. He has yet to pitch an inning in the Majors. He’d probably fare no better than Kunz.
Niese will not be eligible for the post season unless he’s added to the 40 man before 1 Sep. Being in the org is irrelevant. Being on the 40 man is very relevant.
So does this mean Al Reyes isnt getting called up until 9/1? I think with injuries he is still eligble for the postseason (if app), does anyone know if that is correct?
Rosters expand Sept 1, so Reyes will still get called up as will a number of others.
As for post season rosters (we are getting ahead of ourselves).
Though if a team moves a 40 man roster player to the 60 day DL, whoever replaces him on the 40 man roster is post season eligible.
Not entirely true…I believe the rule is that teams can replace as many players on their 9/1 25-man roster as they have on the 60-DL, asuming the replacements were on the 40-man roster as of 9/1.
Or something like that.
I don’t think 9/1 is the drop dead date to be post season eligible when 60 day DL players are involved.
9/1 is when a team can expand rosters to more than 25.
Out of those players any of them can be on the post season roster if they take the spot of a 60 day DL guy (like El Duque, Alou, J Vargas, etc once they are put on it)
I could be wrong, but that is the way I understand it.
“Playoff Rosters: Playoff rosters must be set at 25, not including disabled players, on August 31. For each player on the 60-day DL, teams may add players to the eligible list during the playoffs at the same position, provided that they were in the orginization on August 31… Teams must choose 25 players from their playoff eligible list before each round of the playoffs.”
So based on that, El Duque can be replaced by Al Reyes (or Niese) if the Mets back the playoffs. J Vargas could be replaced by the other, etc. . . Even though Vargas had very small plans to being a Met this year.
Guys currently on the 60 day DL
P: Ambiorix Burgos
P: Tony Armas
OF: Moises Alou
OF: Angel Pagan
Pitchers Hernandez, Wise and J Vargas could probably be switched to the 60 day DL if needed (say Burgos does get activated one day)
very good question..id hope so.
and I think the Mets don’t want Niese to be in the postseason, obv hoping we will be, and thats b/c of , as posted earlier, he already has 160 IP and will be near 180 by the end of Sept IMO. Thats alot of innings for a youngin. Especially considering he may be counted on in April.
I still can’t believe I just wrote a paragraph discussing how the Mets are thinking about the future, just not used to it.
They might also be shying away from Niese in the postseason because as of right now Jon Neise and I have faced exactly the same number of major league batters.
good point.
I’ll be rooting til I’m blue in the face but the hill keeps getting steeper and steeper.
And that’s the final torpedo in the sinking ship S.S. Chokers. (er, I mean SS Mets)
So let me get this straight: Injuries=chokers. Man are you ever clueless.
dont worry hes not a met fan…just ignore him
No, they’re chokers but the injuries are just the final nail in the coffin.
Which should make you all happy because now you have your favorite thing of all- an excuse for why the team blew it for a 3rd year running.
Yes they blew it in 2006, because the Cardinals were not RED HOT and did not win the World Series in 5 games against the heavy favorite Tigers or anything.
If the Mets are chokers what does that make the rest of the NL East particularly the Phillies who have given up their share of first place, not once, but twice in less than a month.
“Which should make you all happy because now you have your favorite thing of all- an excuse for why the team blew it for a 3rd year running.”
What the hell are you talking about? I would imagine the 1986 team will be the lifetime sports highlight for many of us here, and if my father lives to be 200, the 1969 Mets (and 55 Dodgers) will be nirvana for him to even think about.
Man, I can think of a LOT better adjectives for you than “angry.” npanzeca is off to a good start…..
seriously….lets not even give this NON METS FAN the time of day….he is clueless and worthless here….
Yeah, you are correct sir.
I didn’t know they let Phillies fans out of their cages this time of year.
