While we salute the Mets on what has to be their most decisive transaction block of the season, this actually leaves the roster balance and versatility even more futzed up than it had been.
Replacing
Vientos with
Wendle no doubt makes the team stronger on offense, but it makes them even thinner around their five-player infield contingent. Backups at shortstop are
McNeil who has played 37 games there in the minors and all of one inning in the majors, and
Vientos, who hasn't played there since the very low minors.
If
McNeil himself is out of the game, there is nobody else on the roster with any experience at second.
One department in which they are maintaining their balance is their Joey Factor. In accordance with the Hutchinson-Warner Joey Conservation Act of 2003, they are adding
Joey Lucchesi to offset the loss of
Joey Wendle. But that, of course, throws more imbalance into the works, as it presents the Mets with a seven-player rotation against a six-player bullen. As the move was allegedly precipitated by the Mets warming up
Adrian Houser for relief work this afternoon, we believe it is most accurate to characterize him as a reliever for the moment, if only for the moment.
We assume that they will at best trying to get through the next two games in Philadelphia with this discombulated configuration, are lining up another transaction by the weekend. If nothing else,
Drew Smith will be re-joining the team to replace one of the starters.
