Just looking quickly at who the Mets might call up to take Robertson's place as a relief pitcher, there isn't much to choose from.

They already traded Muckenhirn.  I believe he is pitching for the Mariner's AAA franchise now.

Josh Walker is the guy you want looking at the stats and the radar gun.  Nice ERA, strikes out a lot of guys.  But he has had a couple of chances with the Mets and looked really bad.  Maybe they give him an extended chance now to sink or swim?  This is what I would do.  He has the stuff to be a fine MLB reliever and he is a lefty.  We need him to develop.

I believe McFarland was DFA and got picked up by someone else.  Pretty sure it was the Orioles.

Nate Lavender is a possibility.  He is a lefty who has made a quick progression through the farm system.  Never been considered a big prospect.

Stephen Ridings is another option. He throws near 100 mph.  Been hurt most of the year.  Has been rusty and wild so far.  Probably best to wait a bit for him to find his best form.

Good chance they call Sean Reid-Foley up.  I think he is healthy now.  Been pitching okay at Syracuse.  If it isn't SRF, I bet it will be Jimmy Yacabonis.

The Mets got a pitcher named Elieser Hernández from the Marlins over the winter.  He has been hurt all year but finally came off the DL.  He pitched a couple games for Syracuse and got called up to MLB on 7/24.  He is probably going to get some work too.
