The Mets have promoted outfielder Andrew Brown to the roster from Triple-A Las Vegas. Collin Cowgill has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
Brown hit .349 with 7 home runs and 41 RBI with Triple-A Las Vegas in 2013, and appeared in six games for the Mets earlier in the season.
Cowgill, acquired by the Mets over the winter from the Athletics, hit a mere .180 in 61 at-bats with the club while playing mostly center-field.
Cowgill got off to a fast start on the season, but quickly cooled down. I had high hopes for him when the team acquired him from the Athletics over the winter. His aggressive style of play reminded me, and others, and Lenny Dykstra. Cowgill definitely showed flashes of that spark at times, but didn't really get a great opportunity to play here. Giving a guy 61 at-bats to prove himself is not fair at all, and I have a feeling that a team will claim Cowgill and utilize him to his full potential.
As for Brown, he is basically the definition of a "Quadruple-A" player. When he signed with the Mets over the winter, I didn't really know what to expect because he didn't have much major league experience. His .346/.432/.660 line at Triple-A looks impressive, but let's see how that translates in the Major League level.
