Speak of the devil. Mere minutes ago, I talked about
Tony Clark deserving more playing time, and now
the Mets have placed Mo Vaughn on the 15-day DL with an inflammation in his left knee. To fill Vaughn's roster spot, the Mets have called up catcher
Jason Phillips from Norfolk, because apparently you can't have too many catchers. Phillips is hitting .327/.435/.558 at Norfolk with three doubles and three home runs. He's gone one for five with one walk at the major league level so far this year.
