Dodgers had the all switch hitting infield.
We can shoot for the all Mendoza outfield.
Something to look forward to.

Someone needs to tell the Mets that a .193 BA isn't the same as a 1.93 ERA. Originally Posted by jomota48

I think I stand a chance of making the parent club out of spring training. With Bay gone I could outhit this utility player and they certainly would get me for the league minimum. Heck its not like we're signing anyone with a future. I just want to make the team picture.

Time to boycott the Mets. Untill they either get some quality players or new ownership whichever one is easiest.

This shouldn't even be it's own thread. Every team makes these kinds of moves. It's not like we wasted time and money bidding on him. Just filling out the AAA team.
