Brandon Nimmo has been diagnosed with a sprained ACL in his left knee. Can resume baseball activity when pain free. #mets
Non-prospect/minor league depth
NEW YORK -- The New York Mets have signed Cuban catcher Lednier Ricardo, who was an international free agent.
Ricardo, 27, participated on the Cuban national team in 2012 and '13. He had been holding showcases for teams since last summer.
He played in the Cuban National Series with Camaguey and Cienfuegos from 2007 through '12. In 1,190 at-bats, he batted .256 with with 26 homers and 136 RBIs.
AAA-
Ceciliani 1-4, 3b, 2K (called up after the game)
Rivera 1-4, K
Reynolds 0-4, 2 k's (struggling pretty bad right now)
Muno 0-2, BB
Gorski 5 innings 5 hits 5 runs 2 walks 4 k's
Thornton 1 perfect 1 k
A+
Stuart 0-4 1 BB, 2 k's (he's been truly horrendous)
Conforto 1-3, K
Smith 2-4, 2b
Rosario 0-4, K
Urena 2-4
Gsellman 7 innings 6 hits 1 run 2 walks 5 k's (likely headed to AA soon, maybe a swap with struggling Gant?)
Morris 1 innings 0 hits 0 runs 2 walks 2 k's
A
Becerra 1-4, K
Garcia 1-2, 2 bb
Roseboom 1 inning 0 hits 0 runs 1 walk 2 k's
How did Tyler Moore get such a good bonus? Good lord has he been horrible. 4/50 with 18 k's
Lupo 38 k's in 87 ab's lol
Now we have our own! AND he's a year younger! Woooooo

Thanks Dan - didn't k is its available. Should be a good read. Pirates franchise has quietly done things so well and unique over the past several years. Could be the modern day blueprint the way the Indians once were and Rays more recently.
Worse defensively, offensively remains to be seen (Vegas is basically worthless in judging bats). DC did lead the NYPENN in hitting
That's very silly if Wally said that. Ceciliani is barely a CF
He is well known around the team for his strong defensive skills, with Triple-A manager Wally Backman recently telling SNY.TVs Robert Brender that Ceciliani has a similar read to Juan Lagares.
Mateo "disappeared". Rubin said he hasn't heard anything about him which leads me to believe they have given up on him. He reportedly was shut down last year after not taking rehab seriously with sub par velocity. Fulmer has a live arm but yeah, most think he's a reliever. Never can stay healthy and has 2 pitches. Can't say I've seen him pitch this year but he's heavy FB/slider with a changeup that pretty much isn't there. First step will be staying healthy. I like the arm, just not betting on the health to start.
I think this is where the saber maniacs use the "sample size" card.
I appreciate the multiple attempts at humor but you're really just so bad at it that I'd give it up. You're like 0 for 1,000 at this point.
Stick to relaying bad info from the Flying Puck. You're good at being wrong about everything. Being clever or witty? Just.. nah.
Would be an extremely strange time to make this move. Reynolds is really struggling and Murphy is hitting well. If this were a throwaway season then sure but "trading Murphy" just to make room for Reynolds seem strange (and I'm a trade Murphy vs. lose Murphy for nothing advocate).

So long as I know you can dish it out yet can't take it I'll continue smiling Crosby. Shave today? nah
Source tells http://ESPN.com that Kirk Nieuwenhuis has been designated for assignment by the #Mets.

I suspect that information is dated. Like you said, Reynolds is slumping in AAA and Murphy is hitting well lately.
Very curious to see if Harvey's success after long rehab vs. Parnell's lack-of with short has any impact on Wheeler time table #mets
Speaking of that, whatever happened to Puello? I heard weeks ago he was healthy and would have to clear waivers again?? Haven't heard a peep since.
Parnell and Black aren't even on my radar anymore.
Wasn't there a bunch of news about him having recovered and him having to pass through waivers again? Im confused. Must have missed that one.
I hope he rots, completely fucked the Mets

"
The Mets moved outfielder Cesar Puello to the 60-day disabled list, per ESPN.
Puello was on the 15-day disabled list with a back injury. He hasn't played yet this season. The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Johnny Monell, called up by the team on Tuesday."

I think it had more to do with his agent but I agree, that was a shitty move.

Thanks Dan. I guess that's how they got Monell on the roster. I must have missed that. Kind of strange since weeks ago they said he had recovered but oh well.
Van Slyke would be a nice guy. Even Guerrero but doesn't seem like the money would really work. Ethier would really only make sense if the Dodgers ate a ton because Gee is making roughly 5 while Ethier is due over 40 million. Van Slyke would be a solid get though. I'd take a decent prospect though. Unrealistic but I'm digging this De Leon kid. Video game numbers.
The equivalent of a regular going 3 for a whole week.

Except a regular could run into something like Kershaw/Greinke/Scherzer etc. all in the same week. Much less likely to happen for a part time player over the course of 40+ games.

I think it only makes sense under 1 scenario (which is plausible IMO):
a) They determine Flores has to move off SS
b) They don't want to give up on his bat
If they believe those 2 things, it makes sense to see what they have in Reynolds for a month or 2 before feeling compelled to make an external move. I'd want to see Wright come back strong before dealing Murphy, and in all honesty I'd even consider moving Murphy to the bench as an insurance policy if I wasn't getting a good return.

having 3 hits in 30 whatever abates will do that.

Kind of a weird point. Nobody's saying Kirk hasn't struggled. I think everyone has had a cold week before is my point, regardless of who they are facing. We've seen just about every player in our lineup have exactly that this year already including Duda.
All good. I concede something should have been done. Everyone needs to produce and he isn't important enough to carry based on merit. Its still an absurdly small sample however.
