Daniel Vogelbach

Over the past decade, the development of the daily line-up card, more importantly who's on it and where, has become more of an organizational decision, rather than one that sits solely with the team's manager. For a grizzled veteran skipper, like Buck Showalter, that has been a dooming change.

It is no secret that the New York Mets are struggling. After a little more than into the season, owner Steve Cohen is watching his $358 million team sit 6 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East.

On Friday, the New York Mets traded right-handed relief pitcher Colin Holderman to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a former 2019 All Star that will certainly bring some 'pop' and size to the Amazin's designated hitter position. 29 year-old Daniel Vogelbach made his debut for New York on Sunday night on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball. The six-foot, 270 pounder quickly became a fan favorite at Citi Field for his size and his effort.
