Wilmer Flores, Josh Satin, Carlos Flores Reassigned To Minor League Camp
An article by Hojo's Mojo
The Mets announced they have assigned infield prospects Wilmer Flores and Josh Satin, and right-handed reliever Carlos Torres to minor league camp. That leaves 42 players remaining in major league camp.
Catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who was expected to be among today’s cuts, survives to play another day and remains in major league camp. However, he is still expected to start the season at Triple-A Las Vegas.
According to the new CBA rules, any prospect on the 40-man roster who becomes injured in camp after this date would get major league service time and pay if the issue lingered into the season even if he were to start the season on the disabled list. It makes the TDA decision all the more curious.
The Mets now have 42 players remaining in big league camp.

Need to change the post title, unless Torres was another of the latin name-change guys. maybe that is why he stunk so bad, he is really a 45 YO accountant named Fred Dinglehopper.
Keep that third base glove handy Wilmer, you may be back before you know it and quicker than it takes to administer a cortisone shot. #CaptainAmerica
It’s amazing at the comotion that a simple sore rib can cause around here isn’t? You’d think the man is out for weeks like teixeira or granderson.. SMH.. But hey, if he struggles during the year, his legion of fans got their excuse already…
Well the bigger you pump up the Hype Baloon….
The Greater the explosion when it POPS!
I don’t really make much of the Wright injury, the WBC or Wright performance in it….
But people around Metlland were so depserate for good news they pumped all those up to World Series proportions and now that the other shoe has dropped it’s like someone dropped a Nuke on Happy City..
This too will pass….
Really? Have we seen anyone be that negative about it?
Yes a few….
Apparently Kay did with her post about the Hysteria last night…
I’m assuming she saw more than I did…
Interesting the d’Arnaud is sticking around. Makes no sense to me. Odds of him being the opening day starter would be as close to zero as humanly possible.
You need catchers so many times they are the last ones cut.
True. I’m just starting to wonder if it would have made sense to keep another catcher other than Travis up if you are worried about him accruing service time or if they are thinking, he’s a catcher, he’s 24, screw super 2 and just toss him in there. I doubt it’s the 2nd, but that thought does cross my mind.
I think there are still a few up is my point TX. They seem to stay up until the last week or so.
I do hear you, but my point (that i am not making, apparently) is why keep Darno up when you can keep Centeno around and if he gets hurt and accrues service time, it won’t matter.
How does he accrue service time if he is injured?
“According to the new CBA rules, any prospect on the 40-man roster who becomes injured in camp after this date would get major league service time and pay if the issue lingered into the season even if he were to start the season on the disabled list. It makes the TDA decision all the more curious.”
oh, now i get what you wrote. and if centeno doesn’t gain service time should he get hurt, all the better.
I didn’t realize it was the 15 days until opening day? Wowsa.
Umm, that’s why you keep the non 40-man roster catchers around like Juan Centeno. You know like OTHER teams do.
See above. That’s my point.
But you don’t have to add him to the 40 man roster to keep him around a little longer do you?
Never-mind.
Very odd Tex. hope it does not burn them. unless they really might be considering breaking camp with him? If so, wow.
Well remember in d’Arnauds case what he actually needs to work on is learning and getting aquainted with our Pitchers…
Sure he won’t start the season with the MLB team due to his clock (not his readiness)
SO I guess they are willing to take the risk of injury in order to get him in SYNC with the starters he is likely to be catching once he DOES come up and thats why he is still hanging around.
He can’t do that on the MiL field he can only do that playing with the guys he will eventually catch.
Good point. Although I think that at this time of year don’t some players bounce back and forth between camps? Or I guess that was up until today.
Sure they can bounce but the rule regarding Injury still applies to any game played in Grapefruit league….
So your not really gaining anything there….
Still taking the risk so to speak.
Who knows it could also be they want to give him a little more exposure to MLB pitching since at this point in time he is the worst hitting catcher on the roster…
He is hitting .261 , Recker is hitting .533 and Buck is somewhere in the .300′s
Well MDD is still in camp so that may mean they are still considering him as an option to make the team.
You down with MDD?
No. I am not down with MDD.
What!?! Off to the Corn Fields with you.
I was down with MRB, but that ship sailed to Cleveland.
Den Dekker is better Michael Bourn by 2014.
Might be a stretch for 2014 but wouldn’t surprise me at all by 2015. But really when you look at Bourn’s numbers that’s not really saying as much as people think.
I see Den Dekker easily matching, if not surpassing his offensive stats by 2014. He may not get as many steals, but he’ll hit for more pop, and I wouldn’t doubt seeing Den Dekker grind out 30 doubles 10 triples 15 homers with a .280 avg. a year easy in spacious Citi field. I’ll take that from a Gold Glove candidate.
Just way to high on a guy we haven’t even seen play against MLB pitching. Time RG, time.
Your optimism is fantastic. The probability, though, is a long shot there.
I would say it is much more likely that he is a .240 hitter with 20HR 180K a year type a player which is why he will most likely be a #4 outfielder on any decent team. His defense is great but unless the other two outfielders are all stars you can’t MDD becomes a liability offensively.
that would be fantastic.
The question to me is how far up MDD will move, because I am quite comfortable that MB will be declining. when or if they meet will be interesting to see.
to answer your question, MDD will be 26 years ild this summer,it is very unlikely (although not impossible) that MDD wont develop much more than where he is now. He’ll get better, just not enough to make him anywhere near as good as MB.
He’s still here but that says more about the others having not WON the job than him….
No one has actually done anything to win a job aside from Cowgill….
Only other one who comes close is Valde and it may just be that MDD sticks to serve as a defensive replacement for him late in the game.
I am reading that Duda may not even make the opening day starter list. If that is true, at what point do they just need to cut ties with him? If you can’t make this OF and you are the lone returner, what does that say?
where did you see that? But frankly, based on what they have shown in ST, not sure he should be.
if he doesn’t make the team (Duda) I suspect they give him time in Vegas to play LF every day to see if he can get straightened out.
regardless of who makes it OD the odds are high that there will be a whole lotta turnover during the season out there!

Maybe the best thing to do with him is to send him to Vegas and let him benefit from that launchpad in hopes of him having good enough numbers to make him a decent chip in any deal for a Stanton type.
I can’t see how he doesn’t make the team. I still hope that at some point a package of Murph, Duda (as a toss in) and some MiL pitchers can be tossed ChiSox way for one of their outfielder. Murph could play 3B/2B for them and they need LH bats. I’d take either of De Aza or Viciedo. Maybe they even widen the deal for Beckham? They also have some nice 2B/SS options in their minors as well.
Duda with a HR in the 2nd.
