Minaya goes to Buffalo

Omar Minaya visited Buffalo today, the Mets AAA minor league affiliate.

He held a 15-minute media session to discuss the Bison's ongoing season. He stated that the Bison's play this season has been unacceptable (bye bye Ken Oberkfell, hello Manny Acta?) and that he will make the AAA team better through the "free agent market."

He also announced that Adam Wogan has taken over running the minor-league system in the wake of VP Tony Bernazard's dismissal. Wogan worked as farm director of the Montreal Expos/Washingont Nationals from 2002-05.

Is being formerly employed by the Expos/Nats a job requirement to work for Omar Minaya?

Mets sign Pettyjohn

The New York Mets today announced that they have signed LHP Adam Pettyjohn to a minor league contract and assigned him to the Buffalo Bisons. He has been activated to the team's roster today.

Pettyjohn was most recently in the Reds organization. He will likely take Brandon Knight's spot in AAA-Buffalo. Knight requested and was granted a release this weekend so he could sign with a Korean club.
