Status: offline 		Golly Gee: Mets pitcher miffed after move

The Mets moved back to a five-man rotation, sending Dillon Gee to the bullpen, and Gee didn't hold back: "I felt like any [trade] value -- if I had any at all -- before this, it's probably gone. I felt like there's really not a whole lot of good that comes from it." 'Nothing I can do'

Given his butcher of theOF, plus he's had plenty of e's at first, Cowbell is a DH

Know of any team that could have used a guy like that??

A little surprised they gave up on him, after that hot April, and he admitted he was trying to play hurt.

I thought there was a really good case to be made for him over Buxton, despite a lot of folks ripping the Astros for it. I don't regret that we got Buxton for a second obviously, but I don't think we would have regretted getting Correa either. But superstars in the making.

Girardi has weathered the storm and once again has them near the top, where they should almost always be.

Like I said last week .... we seem to get teams rolling.
Bosox haven't lost since we left.

This Brewer team isn't as bad as they've played either.
Some damn tough outs in that lineup. They'll only get better.

Status: offline 		HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros are calling up top prospect Carlos Correa, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft.

Correa began the season No. 3 in ESPN MLB Insider Keith Law's prospect rankings.

The team announced Sunday night that Correa will join the Astros in Chicago on Monday, in time for the opener of a three-game series against the White Sox. Correa was with Triple-A Fresno after beginning the season with Double-A Corpus Christi and was hitting a combined .335 with 10 home runs, 44 RBI and 21 doubles with 18 stolen bases.

The Astros have also optioned right-hander Jake Buchanan to Fresno, and a subsequent move to the 40-man roster will be made Monday.

Among baseball's most surprising performances is that of the first-place Astros, who, with a record of 34-24, hold a 3½-game lead in the AL West despite their current four-game skid. Led by left-hander Dallas Keuchel's sensational start -- 7-1 record and 1.85 ERA -- the Astros' starting rotation has been among the finest in baseball, and the team's plus-18 run differential is in the top 10 in the majors.

At 20, Correa will be the youngest player in the majors. He was drafted out of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy when he was 17.

The Astros announced that they have designated third baseman Matt Dominguez for assignment in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for top prospect Carlos Correa, whose promotion is now official.

Dominguez is only 25

MN has no depth if Plouffe gets hurt.

He will be a superstar. Just like Buxton.

Every year some want to count the Flags out, but that pitching staff is scary and they drafted pretty well at that position.
