Charlie the Bull

Carlos Torres had an option to force the Mets to promote him by a certain date or release him. So the date has come and he exercised that option. The Mets apparently have blinked and are promoting him. Collin McHugh (demoted) and Greg Boike (DFA) were on their way out anyhow. Torres is the author of two consecutive complete games and wins in five straight starts. I'd think that might help if I believed pitching was the problem. Anyhow, he's got a badass stare. Which is worth something, I think.

Good, not great K numbers. Okay, not good BB numbers. Whole lotta line drives and flies, percentage-wise. For his sake, I hope he does a lot of neck stretches when he warms up.

Well-defined philtrum. I like that in a pitcher.

Wearing #52. Rumor has it he's stopping off at 7-11 after the game for a Slurpee. Not sure what flavor.

The display of warning-track power on this team is awesome!!
