Omar hears the call.....Aguila re-called

With all indications pointing towards Jose Valentin replacing Abraham Nunez on the active roster, most of what I read from around the blogosphere was opposed to bringing in another aging veteran. Valentin is hit less in AAA and while I understand the team wanting his leadership, a struggling offense just can't carry another weak bat. I'm all for bringing in Valentin if the team really feels he's that important to the clubhouse but replace a veteran with a veteran, DFA one of Chavez, Anderson or Easley to make room for him. Omar must be feeling the heat over some of his peculiar roster decisions as of late because he's finally recalling one of the hot hitting outfielders. The Daily News is reporting that the Mets are recalling Chris Aguila, I've been calling for this since Pagan went down.

Even if he falls on his face, at least their trying something new and hopefully a younger guy trying to prove himself will provide a spark for the team.

Aguila has been on a longball tear at Triple-A New Orleans. The 29-year-old outfielder, who was hitting .308 with 17 homers and 40 RBI as a Zephyr in 221 at-bats, has slugged eight homers in his last 11 games. He’s played nearly exclusively in left field for New Orleans. source Daily News
