Robert Carson, Juan Lagares And Josh Edgin: Mets Are Slowly Addressing Needs From Within

Longtime Mets beat writer Adam Rubin of ESPN tells us today that the Mets will be promoting outfielder Juan Lagares from Las Vegas in the very near term. Lagares is currently “tearing up the Pacific Coast League,” according to Rubin. Apparently, Lagares’s fine numbers have little to do with the PCL-is-a-hitter’s-league meme, since his form, technique, mechanics and makeup...

The New York Mets may have had a day off the field yesterday, but that doesn’t mean that things behind the scenes are standing still.  On Sunday the team announced that it had recalled 24-year-old lefty Rob Carson from Las Vegas (AAA) of the Pacific Coast League and designated LHP Aaron Laffey for assignment.  The 6-4, 240-pounder was 1-0 with 1.17 ERA in eight games with the...

How can Mets justify Robert Carson on Opening Day roster?

If you’ve read this site before chances are you know my position on LOOGYs. To me they are one of the worst things about baseball in the 21st Century. Because they pitch so little, they create a drag on the rest of the bullpen. And to make matters worse, managers operate to maximize the success of their LOOGY, putting everyone else at a disadvantage in order to do so. Why on...

Rob Carson Likely Gets Final Bullpen Spot

Updated by Joe D. 3/26 A team source told Adam Rubin that veteran righthander LaTroy Hawkins has made the Opening Day roster. This comes as no surprise given manager Terry Collins‘ propensity to lean towards players with more experience as long as they are healthy.

Who is Robert Carson...

About two weeks ago Sand Alderson was discussing his options for the bullpen and one of the names that came up was Robert Carson.  I was curious to find out more about a 22 y/o lefty, drafted in the 14th round of the 2007 draft, who hasn't been above AA and is now in the major league bullpen discussion.  But the rest of the Opening Day bullpen remains unclear. Herrera is a...
