Forecasts for Fifteen: Xorge Carrillo

If d'Arnaud can't g'aud, and Recker has been hit by a double decker... and Plawecki is feeling blechy, and Monell has had a spell... then the Mets staff will be safe in the able hands of Xorge Carillo, the X-iest Met property since Xavier Nady.

When're you gonna stop making up these guys? I haven't heard of any of them yet.

Well, he's real and stuff. Drafted in 2011 in round 14 out of ASU (his forth time drafted!) and declared a steal by Baseball America (which still exists!), Xorge was immediately noticeable because of his X-ilicious name. Hits for a decent average but has been rather punchless for a catcher, despite a solid build (220 lbs.). He started slow as a pro but has rallied the last two years, improving steadily on offense and defense.

I still wish they had found a way to keep Juan Centeno for the emergency call-up role. But if they (shudder) have to go that far down in the organization, I think they'd look to acquire a veteran catcher to work with their young pitchers rather than bring up Carrillo.

Well, if you don't like Carillo, they have Monell and Plawecki too.

This player is a fugazi.

Steady Diet-era Fugazi, or more like Red Medicine, their most popular?

I think he's suggesting that, as far as taking away catching ABs this season from d'Arnaud or Recker (or Plawecki), Carrillo is but a minor threat.

Which beats him getting all those at bats and providing a steady diet of nothing.

Chucks it all and returns to running his orchesta.

That ought to shut the door on the argument.

I know. I feel like I've woken up from a ten-year coma and I no longer know who any of the Mets are.

Well in fairness, some of these guys (this one for instance) aren't even on the 40-man.

Non x-factor in 2015.

I predict that Keith, despite his Spanish heritage, will only get the opportunity to mispronounce this guy's name during ST games.

I assume that X is sounded as an H, rather than a Z.
