All y'all bloggers bitching about the Mets populating their AAA squad with big league vets fallen on hard times (as if no other team does this), congratualte yourselves. You got what you wanted today, as the Mets not only released Wily Mo Peña and Javier Valentine, but they also cut ties with Bobby Kielty. Bobby Kielty! He had barely even gotten to bat! Thirty-three trips to the plate!

I have a vague memory of when he signed some time ago.... Edgy DC Jun 22 2009 01:42 PM Buffalo down 7-4 with onegone in the ninth and a runner on, and Fernando Martinez geets pinch-hit for against a righty as the Herd sends fellow lefthanded batter Jesus Feliciano up. This frightens me that Beltran may soon be DLtran. The Herd, meanwhile, managed to rally for two runs before Michel Abreu whiffed. metsguyinmichigan Jun 22 2009 01:56 PM Wow. The only (good) reason for them to be doing this is if they have a bunch of outfield prospects coming up from AA. Benjamin Grimm Jun 22 2009 01:57 PM Or could a trade be imminent? Farmer Ted Jun 22 2009 01:58 PM I have no problem with the Mets loading up on vets in AAA for a few months to see if they pan out. Obviously this bunch didn't. I just hope that the perennial "who the heck is this guy" keeps finding a way to contribute to the big team, i.e. Timo Perez, Endy Chavez, Anderson Hernandez, Nick Evans, Daniel Murphy, Omir Santos, et al.

OlerudOwned Jun 22 2009 03:11 PM Was anyone really complaining about this? I thought that's what the modern AAA club was, a place to store fliers. Edgy DC Jun 22 2009 05:00 PM Bloggers. SteveJRogers Jun 22 2009 05:11 PM Are you sure it wasn't based on exactly who they were stockpiling the roster with as opposed to the practice in general? There is a difference between "proven crap" and stockpiling AAAA players, or journeymen.

Look, I don't mean to indict a whole community or nothing, it's just an attitude I come across. Don't act like there wasn't a handful of yucks here when the Buffalo roster weas posted with all it's leftovers. Ash, I don't quite understand what you're proposing, but i think you've got it backward regarding bloggers and print media. And really, I love bloggers. Juat having fun with tone. Wocka-wocka.
