I was disappointed by both moves, but they’re not exactly isomorphic. Jesus was unprotected & drafted under Rule 5. They sin there was that Omar apparently didn’t know (and, heck, I knew) how much Manny Acta coveted him. By DFA’ing Juan, the claimant didn’t need to burn a 25-man slot, hence a riskier exposure of an asset. Maybe the analysis is that Xorge Carrillo is near Centeno-like defensively with more pop. We’ll see if he gets protected, which he should if there are any thoughts of dealing Pawlecki (I’m thinking Pittsburgh here).<br /><br />As for the 2015 OF, I hope Puello stays on the roster as a RHB. Even in a meh, post-suspension year he hit very well vs LHP and was very successful with RISP. I’d keep Campbell too, but as nominally a UT INF.<br />Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583242267777911354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-48982255313062111582014-11-01T12:53:52.899-04:002014-11-01T12:53:52.899-04:00Did I notice Puello missing from that Outfield Rec...Did I notice Puello missing from that Outfield Recap?eraffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493607580550078769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-27739250515118893012014-11-01T12:01:03.154-04:002014-11-01T12:01:03.154-04:00What about Xorge Carillo?

You could have put Taylor Teagarden in Recker's place and no one would have noticed.

Den Dekker. I wish they'd given him another 20 Mets games to demonstrate that. Another is Matt Reynolds, who gets on an awful lot and has a little pop to go with it.<br /><br /> Mets should get Andrew Miller and lock down the bullpen. Why not have the best pen in the game?<br /><br />Wouldn't a faster infield (grass) also produce more singles? But, then, our middle infield would suffer defensively.<br /><br />I'm all for the fences coming in and wished they'd added the easy change of making CF 402 instead of 408. Mets have been pyched out offensively in this park and it has created a home field disadvantage. As Casey would say, you can look it up!<br /><br />I just wonder with Centeno gone if d'Arnaud and Plawecki will split the catching duties. One of the best "tools of ignorance" tandems in the game, ought to be worth a few extra wins for Metsies. If we are "close" that would make us closer, right?<br /><br />I still hope mystery man Puello figures it out. Having 3 lefties in OF would be one too many.<br /><br />Reese, if you see my nephew in Australia, Mike Moran, say g'day. Huge Met fan, so he'll be easy to spot.<br /><br />Mack, my brother Steve loved your wife's baking almost as much as he'd love to see Andrew Miller on the Mets.
