Note: Who will be Promoted on Sept. 1?
On Monday, September 1, Major League rosters will expand beyond 25 players.
…the buzz from Shea Stadium is that we should not expect the team to call up every young player known to man…in years past, the Mets have always said they did not want to bring on a whole new crop of young players, who will not be used, and who will make the locker room more crowded, all in the middle of a pennant race…so, i imagine the same can be said for this September…
…that said, from what i can gather, players who are likely to be promoted include Jon Niese, Robert Parnell, Al Reyes and Brandon Knight, as well as Ricardo Rincon, who was reacquired yesterday, while Fernando Martinez, Mike Carp and Eddie Kunz, among others, will remain on the sidelines…
…i also expect that Trot Nixon, Orlando Hernandez, Matt Wise and others will eventually be moved to the 60–day disabled list, creating all sorts of creative options for the post-season rost, err, umm, well, nevermind…
