Soothsaying for Sixteen: Buddy Carlyle

Edgy MD Mar 02 2016 04:31 AM

Listen, that's twice I got invited to camp as a non-roster player, and that's twice I've pitched my way out of the minor leagues and onto the Mets roster. [fimg=450]http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/files/2015/01/Carlyle-Buddy-H-1024x682.jpg[/fimg] Yeah, I got hurt, but I've been invited back as an NRI ... huh-gain, and the third time is money. That's my story for me in 2016, anyhow. What's yours?

Maybe he was injured because of that odd looking pitching motion. (Or was he tossing a come-backer to first base?) Anyhow, third time may not be a charm this year with the bullpen crowded. He may ask for a release rather than take his AAA assignment out of Spring Training, and sign with another organization. Later

He's recovering from a torn labrum and subsequent surgery. I don't think he's expecting to break camp with the team.

Won't appear this year as a Met. That's my prediction, man.

If he's lucky? No major family tragedies. Maybe a negative prostate exam?

He'll knock 'em dead with his variety show featuring topical comedy and audience participation. After he's released from the 51s, he'll be opening for Penn & Teller at the Rio. Wednesdays at 7, Fridays and Saturdays at 8.

I guess he sawed off the limb he was sitting on with that three run shot with a 1-0 lead in the ninth the other day. We need outs, guys.

I came here to pay my respects in his memories thread. Where is it?

Edgy MD Mar 27 2016 05:55 AM Re: Soothsaying for Sixteen: Buddy Carlyle

The standard is to put any memories thread up once a guy joins another organization. He might have asked for his release upon being delivered news of his cut. He may even have had a clause compelling the Mets to grant him a release upon request.

Released in spring training, just about everybody here predicted no Metly action. What nobody predicted is that by May, he caught on with the Braves — not as a relief pitcher, mind you, but in the burgeoning field of "instant replay coordinator." Nice work if you can get it.
