September 1, 2011 - Another of Maloney former students make his MLB debut.

NEW YORK — Two fresh faces arrived in the Mets' clubhouse today, an infielder named Josh Satin and a pitcher named Josh Stinson, which means Terry Collins still commands a clubhouse featuring 27 players. With the rosters expanding now that it’s September, Collins is still trying to figure out how to make use of his new players.

“Hopefully they carry over what they did to get here,” Collins said before last night’s game against the Marlins. “That was my message to them when they walked in today: What got you here will keep you here.”

Yet neither Satin nor Stinson are expected to play much. Satin, a 26-year-old who had a .906 on-base plus slugging percentage in Double A and Triple A, can play first base, second base and third base, but all three are filled. David Wright mans the hot corner, of course, while Ruben Tejada and Justin Turner are splitting time at second. And Collins does not want to undercut Nick Evans at first base.

“I told him I’m going to try and get him in there, get him some at-bats,” Collins said. “I think it’s truly one of the real good stories in our game, a guy who a couple years ago people didn’t think could play. Here he is, two years later, in the big leagues because of the way he’s gone about his job.”

Stinson will head to the bullpen. He finished 13 starts in Triple-A with a 7.44 ERA. Like Satin, he was a long-shot to ever reach this level. The Mets nabbed him in the 37th round of the 2006 draft.

“He’s not going to have any particular role,” Collins said. “Like he’s not going to be pitching the eighth, that kind of thing. But I’ll use him when I need him.”
