I’m sorry that Cesar Puello didn’t work out. I really am, but it’s his job to get to Queens, not mine. The organization lost confidence in him the second after he went down for the PED scandal and he never regained their respect. At best, he became the fourth outfielder in Las Vegas and simply could’t repeat his Binghamton numbers were, no matter how light the air was. Frankly, the 2015 Mets are past waiting for prospects to develop. There is enough talent on the parent team to make the playoffs and members of the 25-man squad are only going to be moved off if someone comes along that has done their job well in the minors and have earned the ‘next step’. Puello didn’t.

Mack, some reports have Puello being injured. Don’t know, but what team likes to lose talented players for nothing?
That’s what I would have written him.
Has to be wake up call. Every team pased on him. I hope he uses it as fuel for a comeback year…
I’ve never seen the shame in Puello being waved I just view him at best as a 4 A guy that opinion has never been popular but I’m used to that I just took the fact he did not get claimed as confirmation of that view
