Players To Return, Players To Leave


OF-C-3B Vinnie Rotino – happening today… my guess is SP Chris Schwinden is returned to AAA.

RP Pedro Beato – Beato will be the first to come off of the IR list, and there is a good chance he will play Buffalo awhile to build up arm strength. If he winds up in Queens, you can pretty well spin the bottle for who leaves, but Manny Acosta should not be on this team. If he’s not gone in the Rotino move, he will be here. Other than that, Robert Carson should be returned to Binghamton.

SS Ruben Tejada – having Rotino on the roster gives the Mets another outfield option. This will be the time either OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis or 1B Ike Davis is sent to Buffalo.

LF Jason Bay – this will be the cut involving who is left on the 25-man, Ike or Kirk.

C Josh Thole -  the obvious was that Rob Johnson would go back to Buffalo and Mike Nickeas would remain as Josh’s backup. I think that has changes and I don’t think Nickeas has any options left. Look for Mike to be DFA’d in hopes everyone passes on him.
