In with the old, out with the Newhan
It may not be Scott Schoeneweis, but it's a start. The Mets have sent David Newhan (.200 /.298/.280) to New Orleans and called up Ricky Ledee (.287/.361/.471 in 177 AAA at bats). Of course, this is the same Ricky Ledee who hit .094/.194/.219 in 32 at bats with the Mets last year. But Ledee at least has some history of being a decent bench player, which is more than Newhan can say. And Ledee will probably not be Willie Randolph's first pinch hitting option as Newhan so often was. It's nice to see Newhan's inability to hit major league pitching finally trump his alleged versatility. ¶ joe | 5:53 PM |
