Let’s Hope Omar Minaya (aka Nomore Goodbya) Didn’t Pull a Fast One Placing Oliver Perez on the 15-Day Disabled List Saturday

The New York Mets placed Oliver Perez on the 15-day disabled list Saturday due to a sudden injury to his right knee. The move to the DL was retroactive to last Tuesday so it could free-up a roster spot for Jon Niese who pitched Saturday against the Marlins. It’s being reported that a few Major League clubs have complained and that Major League Baseball is looking into the validity of the move. Since Perez landed on the DL the Mets didn’t have to send another player back to their Buffalo Bisons farm team. If the Mets did pull a fast one they certainly would not be first to do so or the last. Having this baloney float over the team now doesn’t help so let’s hope it’s true. I can see the 60-day disabled list in the near future for Ol’ Ollie!
