Mets Minors News: Satin Could Get Called Up, Carson On Way To New York
An article by 
Hi everyone, a few notes on the minors, but before that I want to apologize for the meltdowns we experienced on MMO this past Friday and Saturday when we suffered a few outages due to heavy traffic. We have taken measures to increase our memory and resources so that will not happen again. The site might feel a little sluggish for the next 2-3 days while our technicians do what they need to do. Our site experienced some incredible peaks with as many as 9,000+ people all trying to access the site at the same time and it was simply too much even for our new servers which automatically shutdown during extreme traffic spikes so as to not lose any data, and needed to be reset. We’ll be fine again by Tuesday at the latest. Okay, onto some real news…
As our own HoJo speculated yesterday, Robert Carson could replace Ramon Ramirez on the roster and according to Lynn Worthy of the Binghamton News this morning, Carson is already on his way to Flushing. Ramirez will be placed on the DL after suffering a hamstring injury during the on-field celebration after the no-hitter on Friday.
The young left-hander is having a fine season for the Bisons posting a pristine 1.42 ERA in 19 innings pitched with 15 strikeouts and a couple of saves.
Not certain where Pedro Beato fits in here, because he is also eligible to come off the 60 Day DL as well. But as Rob told me today, Beato was always going to start the season in Triple-A anyway had he not gotten hurt. We’ll see.
According to what a source told Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, first baseman Josh Satin is likely to fill the roster spot of outfielder Mike Baxter, who is headed to the disabled list with a right collarbone displacement as well as fractured rib cartilage.
Satin, 27, is hitting .274 with three homers, 15 RBI and a .359 on-base percentage in 206 plate appearances this season with Triple-A Buffalo.
Rubin adds that rehabbing outfielder Jason Bay will ultimately assume Baxter’s roster spot, once he completes his rehab assignment.
As I mentioned in my Farm Report earlier today, Bay went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts for St. Lucie as their DH. He might still be at least a week or more away, but Rubin projects him to be ready for Friday’s Subway Series opener.

I’m not sure they can actually do this, but I would like to see them keep Bay down until he shows he can hit MiL pitching…If he can’t there is no point in bringing him up!
I’m sure there is some CBA limit to how long we can keep him down on a Rehab assignment but if he is not performing we have to at least have a strong case to make for doing so.
Bay is going to kill the chemistry this team has right now. He is such a downer and a morbid presence on this team. I’m sick of hearing about how everybody feels bad for him. He’s a bust and we should just move on. We dont need him. I’d rather take my chances with Hairston and Kirk in LF or maybe we could trade for someone. Bay is definitely not a cancer in the clubhouse like some others we’ve had, but he certainly brings nothing to the table and is not an integral part of the makeup of this exciting team.
I totally agree Hodges…
At this point what is worse…Wasting 18 Mil on the bench so better players can get up to bat and play the field?
Or wasting it by playing it and losing games because we are not playing the better guys we have?
Bay is spilt Milk at this point and no more point in crying about it.
Even if he hits .300 this year no one is going to offer you squat or agree to pay even a penny of his salary!
So bench him and show everyone on this team you perform you play you don’t you sit REGARDLESS of how much money you make!
Give him a game or two to give someone a rest and until he hits that .300 and earns his way back, his role is a role player nothing more!
Just call it the bad deal it was and move on!
Adam Rubin just confirmed Mets have no intentions of adding Pedro Beato to the roster and he’ll simply stay in Buffalo when he comes off the 60 day DL.
Wise move by the Mets. From what I saw from him last season, Beato has great potential (as seen in the first half of last season), but needs to sharpen up his game in AAA. He can be a valuable setup man for us down the line. I must ask why the Mets keep jumping over Justin Hampson, who’s doing a good job in Buffalo instead of sending Carson back and forth from AA?
Joe when you mentioned site meltdown i had no idea you were speaking in technological terms, LOL
Will Carson get Santana’s next start, with Johan getting an extra day to rest and did Omir beat the Bomber’s last night?
Latest on Ruben Tejada’s schedule this week.
Ben Wagner @benwag247
Wally expects Ruben Tejada to play 5 innings Mon/Tues, 7 innings Wed and all 9 Thursday. #mets #bisons

Off Topic: Listening to Harvey pitch until Mets game start. He still has a shutout going but he has had at least 2 runners on in every inning. He’s allowed so far through 4 innings 4 hits 5 walks and 5 strikeouts. Announcers earlier mentioned this was the most they had seen him use his changeup. I believe I recall articles saying Harvey needed to work more on his changeup so maybe that is what he was trying to do tonight.
He is at 84 pitches through 4 and the announcer mentioned that may be it for Harvey tonight.
Yup Edgin in for the 5th.
