Mets Call Up Kirk Nieuwenhuis

The Mets announced today that OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis will be called up from Triple A in Las Vegas. Darrell Cecillani will be sent down as corresponding roster move. Nieuwenhuis hit .293 with 7 homers and 20 RBI's in Vegas. He has only hit .100 combined with the Mets and Angels. I don't see why this move makes sense since Kirk has not shown he can hit at big league level. I would have rather have him come up if Michael Cuddyer was placed on DL.
