Argenis Reyes

…this morning on MetsBlog, i wrote that either reyes or Abraham Nunez would get the call, and i’m glad to see it is reyes…

Reyes, 25, is hitting .290 with 11 doubles and a .353 OBP in 79 games for Triple-A New Orleans, while hitting .358 in 81 at bats against left-handed pitchers.

Carlos Muniz

Last night, he let up a walk-off home run to Troy Glaus with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

According to Adam Rubin, at his blog for the Daily News, citing ‘pregame buzz,’ Chris Aguila will likely replace Muniz on the roster until Moises Alou returns.

In six at bats with the Mets in June, the 29–year-old Aguila had one hit and struck out twice.

In a recent report for ESPN.com, fantasy baseball guru Erik Karabell wrote:

“The Mets might want to take a look at Aguila in the outfield…Yes, this is the same singles hitter who did very little in the Marlins outfield…but he’s playing well and hitting for power now.”

Aguila hit .234 with 18 extra base hits and nine walks in 141 games played for the Marlins between 2004 and 2006.

What’s more, Aguila is batting .353 against left-handed pitching, with a .413 OBP.

…i don’t actually believe aguila or Triple-A OF Val Pascucci will rise to the Mets and save the season…however, i don’t understand why Abraham Nunez is a better option for the Mets bench right now, especially if Marlon Anderson is set to return from the disabled list in the next day or so…at least aguila and pascucci are hitting…nunez isn’t hitting, and didn’t hit in the minors…

In 39 games in New Orleans this season, Pascucci is hitting .297 with 11 home runs and 29 RBI, with a .479 OBP against left-handed pitching.

For more on Pascucci, check out Billy Turner’s report for the Times-Picayune, where manager Ken Oberkfell is quoted as saying, “Val’s a patient hitter. He’s not just going to chase pitches.  If people are going to try to pitch around him, he doesn’t mind taking his walks.”

…to me, considering the realities of this roster, the team’s back-up outfielders should be Damion Easley, Fernando Tatis and Endy Chavez…at the same time easley, tatis and Marlon Anderson can back up the infield, while pascucci or aguila are used exclusively as a pinch hitter – assuming Ramon Castro is viewed strictly as a back-up catcher…because this three-catcher, no-hit-infielder system, which the team is currently using, just makes no sense and is not at all effective…
