The Mets Deal Wheeler to Astros

Dan Wheeler is now Houston Astro. Wheeler who was decent long man was dealt for minor league outfielder Adam Seuss. Adam turns 24 on Tuesday has not played a day over A-ball. Mets.com alludes to the fact that this opens a roster spot for this Saturday's pitcher. I liked Wheeler after last year and although he was disappointing this year, I did not give up on him. This is just another silly move by the Mets that makes little sense. Releasing Gerald Williams or not picking up Buchanan would have been the smart moves, but once again we fans are resigned to scratch our heads.
