Chris Carter Called Up

The Mets had finally seen enough.

Enough of the game Frank Catalanotto trying to hang on, and enough of the fiery and hard-working Chris Carter continue to swing the bat well at Buffalo.

Carter is up, Cat is gone.

I also believe that Jeff Francoeur's struggles had something to do with it as well, and that Carter just might see some time in rightfield.

Carter will certainly pair with Fernando Tatis as the Mets primary pinch-hitting tandem.

There is zero downside to this move, and it just might give the Mets the shot in the arm they need.

Lastly, the Mets are going to need a DH soon, and Carter is likely to be given that role.
