The Mets continue to stockpile minor leaguers with a smattering of major-league experience. Today's herd includes right-hander Tony Armas, who pitched in three games for the Mets last year, and two other pitchers—Valerio de los Santos and former Yankee Matt DeSalvo. I would be a little surprised if any of them threw an inning for the big-league club this year—maybe Armas if there's an emergency.
Also signed was outfielder Bobby Kielty, who joins the Pagan-Reed-Mackowiak-Sullivan cadre of potential spare outfielders. Kielty hasn't had a terrible career; he has an OPS+ of 99 in 599 games for the Twins, Athletics, and Red Sox. He's a switch-hitter, which is a point in his favor, I suppose, and by all reports, has fiery red hair. But he didn't play in the majors at all in 2008, and his numbers in the minors were not pretty. I mean, why not Timo Perez?
