Alou’s Option Picked Up, Easley Signed
The Mets officially began assembling the 2008 team yesterday when they exercised the option on Moises Alou‘s contract and re-signed Damion Easley. Though injuries kept Alou to only 87 games this past season he was one of few bright spots for the Mets in September when he hit for a .402 average. Overall Alou hit […]

The most speculation is around second base where Jose Valentin is on the DL with a fractured right tibia. I’d argue that the Mets are better off without Valentin. Ruben Gotay has been playing […]
Easley Plays Long Ball
The Mets offense got a boost from an unlikely source yesterday when Damion Easley hit a 3 run homer off of Arizona closer Jose Valverde to cap a Mets rally in the ninth and give New York a 9-4 victory over the Diamondbacks in the opener of a four game weekend series. David Wright also […]
