The Mets Manage to Get Older

The Mets called up Gerald Williams, who is 37 years old, and sent down 24 year old Danny Garcia. I cannot complain with Garcia being sent down to get some more playing time, he ceratainly should be getting a chance everyday to get better. Him sitting on the bench does not do a whole lot of good. If calling up more ex-Yankee trash allows Redman to move up to AAA permanently so be it. I do not expect Gerald to see much playing time anyway, but the Mets front office insistance on keeping guys like Gerald around blows my mind. We can now field an outfield entirely of ex-Yankees. Am I the only one who finds that disturbing?
