The Mets should go on the lookout for a shorter solution.

Some of those AAA guys crushing that level who might rake a bit, but aren't likely to be long term answers. At the very least could be a decent platoon option.

They did call up Ty Kelly...a 27-year old career triple-A'er who is hitting .391 in the PCL. If Wilmer Flores weren't on the DL, this would have been a good chance to get him some PT. Kelly and Eric Campbell will platoon for the time being.

Wright even offered to move over there, but the team said no for now. I think long term for his sake they have to do it eventually, but then what to do with Duda, who is younger yet seems equally fragile in the back department?

Let's just call Keith down from the booth to get back in the batting cage, and to start taking some grounders at 1B.

:heh:

Sox with a big loss as Carson Smith goes down with TJ.

I liked Kelly to the pen to replace him, but with the rest of that staff they need him in the rotation for now.

Did anyone hear me say I didn't like your headline? I just said I thought mine would have also been good. Your mother-in-law has you all cranky

Right exactly......who wouldn't want a 3 time all star 2 time hr leader 1 time no MVP who still bats Clean up on their roster

It's time for the Phillies to release Ryan Howard

In other ny news.....

A-ROAG: It's time Yankees made Alex Rodriguez a part-time player

Yankees should trade Beltran, and here are teams that could be interested

Ryan Howard from The Office is probably a better hitter than Ryan Howard at this point.

Drew Pomeranz off to a pretty good start to the season. Billy Beane should trade for a guy like him.
