A new day a new game... On the bright side Elvin Ramirez throws very very hard and may he be able to command it. On the other side Tejada did pull himself from the Buffalo game as he felt quariceps tightness and was afraid to run.

Bay and Beato are back, C. Young is on paternity leave and Satin was DFA'd. I hope that Satin gets through waivers.

I guess you can blame drafting him but he tore it up last year in the minors, they added him to the 40 man, and now he's expendable? Feels like they should've just taken the chance no one would take him rule-5 and leave him off the roster.

bmfc1 Jun 06 2012 01:09 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

I have trouble with the concept that Satin was important enough to get a key AB in last night's game and yet be insignificant enough to be discarded the day after.

Bay is active but not that active... he isn't in the starting lineup.

bmfc1 wrote: I have trouble with the concept that Satin was important enough to get a key AB in last night's game and yet be insignificant enough to be discarded the day after. This is my point. If he's just disposable depth anyway, why ever add him to the 40 man? Why bring him up after the Mets were eliminated last year. Save the 40 man spot. He's DFA'd now anyway, if someone wants him, he's gone. If someone wanted him this offseason, they would've had to keep him on the major league roster or give him back, so if you don't think he's a full time player anyway, chances are you'll get him back if someone does claim him. Now someone can claim him and he can be that AAAA guy for them, as long as they have the roster flexibility the Mets don't.

Ceetar Jun 06 2012 02:20 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

Probably. But in a way they removed F-Mart to make/keep room for Satin. Martinez was always the better prospect. I'm just trying to get a handle on the roster management. It seems sloppy.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2012 02:24 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

Martinez was always the better whatever. Their opinion was that Satin had more value to them going forward. I disagreed. You apparently did too. But until Martinez starts putting points on the scoreboard at the big league level, it's still an open question.

Martinez 1 2B, 2RBI to Satin's nothing so far. Might be an insurmountable lead.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2012 02:31 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

Silliness. People get DFA'd all the time. (Maybe Martinez does next.) Buying an insurance policy wasn't foolish because your house didn't burn down.

Ceetar Jun 06 2012 02:35 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

This isn't really about Martinez though. It's about the chance they actually gave Satin. Why is he an expendable 40th man? And if he's not going to stick in the majors, why did you add him to the 40 man roster to begin with? Or is it just the two months of minor league ball have decided them?

Ceetar Jun 06 2012 02:37 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

Also, Satin was playing first base almost exclusively (and not hitting for any power) in Buffalo. DFAing one of your 40man 1B options probably says something about the immanency of demoting Ike.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 06 2012 02:37 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

He's expendable because he's getting replaced by someone else. There's only 40 slots.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2012 02:39 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

(1) He's not being expended, he's being exposed. (2) He's being exposed because they need somebody else. (3) What he was then and and what he is now, as far as market value, isn't the same. (4) What he was exposed to then and and what he's being exposed to now, isn't the same, as far as risk.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2012 02:49 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

We're going in circles. He was an insurance policy. The Mets have hundreds of players in their system. Most of them won't play for them. That doesn't indicate a lack of a plan.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 06 2012 02:50 PM Re: IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

This is ridiculous. He got on the roster the same way every 40-man player does, because he was one of the 40 best options at the time. Now he's not.

The season was 'over'. He didn't even play much, wasn't a part of the offseason plan, had virtually no chance to make the team this Spring. And they've been facing a roster crunch that entire time. Fine, he was an insurance policy. For what exactly? Like you said, hundreds of players in the system. They resigned Val Pascucci. They could've signed anyone else for minor league minimum if Satin got claimed in the Rule 5 draft. Insurance guys that far down the depth chart shouldn't be on the 40 man.

Awful night at the ballpark (other than an excellent meal at Shake Shack). It was over early and there wasn't much hope when 5 through 8 in the lineup is so awful. I agree with Edgy about Beato v Byrdak. I didn't understand using Hairston to lead-off an inning down two runs. I enjoyed the tattooed Mets fan in my aisle who yelled "Omar's Coming!" whenever Quintanillia came up (that's a The Wire reference). Harper's swing is an act of violence (Murphy's swings are like the gentle caressing of a kitten). (Should I have bulleted these, Edgy-style?)

I was fourth row on the leftfield spot just at the corner where the seats curve around to meet the foul line. A few rows behind the ballgirl. I didn't mind Hairston there, by the way. He was subbing in for the guy he platoons with, we had him matched up against a lefty --- which there was no guarantee of if they pinch-hit him for somebody later, and if we put together any late rally at all, he'd've gotten a second plate appearance. He didn't do anything, though. Kirk still isn't really a big-league hitter vs. lefties. I suppose you can pinch-hit Rottino there and save Hairston for an RBI situation, but there's no guarantee you get him up there against a lefty if one arises. Just didn't work out.
