Mets Recall Thole

The Mets have recalled AA Binghamton catcher Josh Thole. Thole, as you might have read Here and Here , is a top prospect for the Mets who has been switched to Catcher from 1B, because he didn't think he would make the Mets roster as a 1B.

The young catcher, drafted in the 13th round in 2005, is third in the Eastern League with a .328 batting average. In 103 games, the 22-year-old backstop was also tied for the team lead in doubles (29), and third in RBIs (46) and runs scored (48).

The rookie is expected to join the team tomorrow, when rosters expand to 40, in Colorado. Thole will be given #30, which was last worn by Raul Casanova.
