SMITTY!

The Mets are reporting that Dominic Smith will be promoted and will join the team tomorrow. So Sandy DOES give a rat's ass! At least a little rat! With a little ass! The reigning PCL player of the month went 2-4 last night with an RBI. Don't know if he'll be in tonight's lineup, but he'd better come up with a goopy name fast. SMITTY. DOMINATION. DO-SMIT.

I think he and Rosario should go with THING 1 and THING 2.

Rosario is El NiƱo according to the mets.com buy stuff page. If Blevins is Gordo, maybe Smith is Flaco.

No word on the roster move that creates a spot yet, huh?

Let's hope Smith's arse doesn't get too big.

Smith? As in the mighty blacksmith of Greek mythology? Then he should be Hephaestus!, or ...
Maybe not.

Well, I assume they announced this a day in advance for a reason, and they have an idea of which corresponding move is going down. But they ain't gonna tell a guy to play his heart out but tomorrow he's toast.

Smith isn't on the 40, but blood won't necessarily have to spill. I think there's room (hey, Bruce's spot!) but things are real convoluted right now.

Didn't they open that roster spot with the Jay Bruce trade? I didn't read that the minor leaguer they got for him was added to the 40 man roster.

OE: Activated Legares.
Someone's gotta' go.

Yes, I noted that his spot was open.

Lagares was activated from the DL and took the Bruce spot.

Re: SMITTY!

Yeah, but we mean the spot on the 40. Lagares was never but on the 60-Day Disabled List, and so never vacated his spot on the 40.

Who goes down or gets traded or what have you still remains to be seen.

Crossing posts. I started typing before yours was posted.
As for who goes down, too bad they don't have Eric Campbell any more. He was always good for a demotion or DFA when we needed one.

Time for Montero to go.

Re: SMITTY!

I'm guessing Nimmo goes down for a few days until they make another trade.

Also possible that deGrom hits the DL.

Re: SMITTY!

Salas makes living room for young Mr. Smith. Maybe someone will claim him, and we can make a d-- sorry; thought I could keep a straight face for that, but I was mistaken.

Looks like his minor league nickname is BIG DIESEL.

I approve of 22 for Dom Smith.

I don't know what that means for Kevin Plawecki, though. Whatever became of him anyway?

Batting third and hitting like a fiend in Las Vegas.

Gonna hit 30 home runs for someone like the Reds in 2018.

Not impressed at all. Swing looks long. Defense seems overrated.

I know. Small sample.

Hopefully it's an adjustment period, I kinda think the Mets have him penciled in
as a sure thing. Little overweight for such a young athlete, no?

Looks overmatched at bat. I'm not sold.

Re: SMITTY!

He's got a lot of rope (and so does Rosario) as far as I'm concerned. Let them play the rest of this year against righties and lefties and see what we've got. They're not going to be world-beaters the first time out, but a lot of good players didn't have instant success.

Still kinda feeling this way.
