Sheffield A Low Risk Signing For Mets
Jon Heyman of si.com is reporting that the Mets have signed Gary Sheffield. Though I’m skeptical about what Sheffield brings to the Mets both on and off the diamond I don’t think this is a bad signing (as I’m sure many Mets fans will think it is). Sheffield will most likely replace Marlon Anderson on […]

Reyes Proves His Value
One night after being removed in the first inning as a precaution to protect one of the most valuable players on the team Jose Reyes proved that value. Reyes led off the game with a single, stole second, advanced to third when Angels catcher Jeff Mathis‘s throw to second went into centerfield and scored when […]

Notes From Yesterday
Carlos Beltran played center field for the first time this spring. After the game he admitted that he’s not up to playing the field for 9 innings. Beltran also spoke about the joys of fatherhood. Mike Pelfrey pitched 4 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits. It wasn’t his best outing but […]
Injury Update
Here’s an update on a couple of injuries: Ryan Church has been sporting sunglasses to disguise the shiner on his eye and protect his eyes which are still sensitive to light as the efects of the concussion he suffered Sunday after colliding with Marlon Anderson in the outfield take their course. He is slowly getting […]
Delgado, Church, Anderson Ailing
The injury fairy visited the Mets yesterday. Her specific appointments were with Carlos Delgado, Ryan Church and Marlon Anderson. Delgado flew back to New York for an MRI which revealed a hip impingement. He’s expected to miss several days. I did a little research on what a hip impingement is and didn’t like what I […]
Roster Moves
A few maneuvers occurred yesterday. Marlon Anderson‘s re-signing became official. Anderson got a two year contract worth $2.2 million. This is viewed as a key move to building a good bench for 2008. Jose Valentin‘s option was declined. The second baseman is now a free agent. This is no surprise. I thought he played ahead […]
Mets Free Agents
Six Mets filed for free agency yesterday. They are: Marlon Anderson Luis Castillo Ramon Castro Damion Easley Shawn Green Paul Lo Duca The obvious missing name here is Tom Glavine but that’s going to happen any day now. If I’m Mets GM Omar Minaya then Castillo becomes the immediate top priority from all the names […]
What’s on Second?
There’s been a lot of rumors lately about who the Mets may trade for as the non waiver trade deadline approaches. 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 […]
