An article by 
According to a Mets press release,
The New York Mets today announced that they have selected the contract of infielder Argenis Reyes from Buffalo (AAA) of the International League and designated lefthanded pitcher Jon Switzer for assignment. Reyes will wear #11 and will be available for tonight’s game vs. St. Louis. His bio can be found on page 433 of the 2009 Mets Media Guide.
Reyes, 26, was hitting .296 with 19 runs scored, eight doubles, two triples, one home run, 13 RBI, and nine stolen bases in 45 games with the Bisons.
Since May 1st, the switch-hitter was batting .315 (35-111) with seven doubles, two triples, one home run, and 11 RBI. He had a 10-game hitting streak from May 19th-June 15th. He missed two weeks, May 30th-June 15th with a groin contusion.
The 5-10, 180-pounder hit .218 (24-110) with 13 runs scored, one home run and three RBI in 49 games with the Mets in 2008. In addition, he hit .283 (88-311) with 11 doubles and 22 RBI with New Orleans (AAA) of the Pacific Coast League last season.
Switzer appeared in four games with the Mets, tossing 3.1 innings and surrendering four hits and three runs.
Argenis was having a nice season… Lets see if he can help.

Went to my first Mets game, a Mayors Trophy game at Shea, in '73. We beat the Yankees 8-4 and I was hooked. I marched in two Banner Day parades, and before the Grand Slam single, there was the "Hendu Can Do" grand slam - I was there. I've collected Mets memorabilia all my life and started Mets Merized Online to feed my addiction.

I was wondering what Switzer was doing on this team. Guess I don’t have to wonder that any longer. I feel more comfortable about Reyes #2 being on the team.
