The Mets have claimed catcher Anthony Recker off of waivers from the Cubs. Recker was designated for assignment yesterday to create roster space for pitcher Carlos Gutierrez.Recker hit .143 in 58 plate appearances with Oakland and Chicago in 2012. He is a career .277 hitter at the Triple-A level.
Analysis: Recker has some pop to his bat and the Mets do not have any catching depth, so this move makes sense. Maybe the Mets will just use Recker as a platoon partner with Josh Thole and let Kelly Shoppach walk via free agency. I don't agree with that move, but it is a cheap move and GM Sandy Alderson is a cheap fella.
