List of callups

August
31

There may be additions to this list, although assistant GM Tony Bernazard said Fernando Martinez isn’t one of them.

Here are the guys we know who will be in Milwaukee tomorrow:

Jon Niese, LHP — 21-year-old top pitching prospect will make MLB debut Tuesday; 5-1, 3.40 ERA in seven starts at New Orleans; scouting report is 88-92 m.p.h., 12 to 6 curve, pitches inside to RH and outside to LH; likes to compete

Bobby Parnell, RHP — 23, hard thrower, 6-foot-4, has 25 K’s in 23 IP at New Orleans, but hasn’t fared as well as Niese overall; 66 BB in 147 IP this season at Binghamton and New Orleans; 2-2, 6.64 ERA at New Orleans; will probably be slotted into the ‘pen

Al Reyes, RHP — closed for the Rays last year but was released on Aug. 9;

Argenis Reyes, INF — Second baseman was just sent down last week during the series against Philadelphia

Ricardo Rincon, LHP — Mexican leaguer just joined New Orleans; he last pitched in the big leagues in ‘06; will likely assume Scott Schoeneweis’ role for the time being as Schoeneweis battles back problems

Marlon Anderson, INF/OF — you know him, returning from a hamstring injury (he’s actually here in Florida already)

Gustavo Molina, C — a Venezuelan catcher, 26, who batted .206 this year in New Orleans; had 18 MLB at-bats last year with the White Sox; Mets wanted a third catcher

Ramon Martinez, INF — has played in the majors for the Giants, Tigers, Phillies and Dodgers; batted .289 in 53 games with New Orleans

Carlos Muniz, RHP — has shuttled between the majors and minors; 2-4, 3.93 ERA in 18 G at New Orleans this year

    I find it hard to believe Nixon won’t be called up

    find it hard to believe nixon wont be called up

    I’m pretty sure A-Reyes can’t be called up for a few days…

  4. Harry Chiti

    I think if the team’s season is over he can be recalled early. New Orleans canceled the rest of its season.

    Also, Molina played for the Mets already this season. 1 for 7 in two starts.

  5. JM

    Beltran is getting there.
