Another vote for Wiggy

I read on Friday, that former New York Met, Ty Wigginton has been non-tendered and is now a free agent. Wigginton would perfectly fill the Mets' need for a right handed hitter with some pop in his bat. The 31 year old hit a solid.285, with a .350 on-base percentage, and a robust .526 slugging percentage. In just 386 at-bats, he slugged 23 homeruns and drove in 58 runs. Over the...

It's believed that the Rangers need to shed salary from their current roster, two of the players they are looking to move are Vicente Padilla and Kevin Millwood. Millwood is owed the following; 08:$8.5M, 09:$11M, 10:$12M and Padilla; 08:$11M, 09:$12M, 10:$12M club option ($1.75M buyout). That's ...

Eddie Guardado, the former closer and teammate of J.J. Putz, had glowing remarks for new newest Mets setup man during a conversation with the NY Post. The Mets acquired Putz on Wednesday night at the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound power righty will set up Francisco Rodriguez at the back end of the Mets' now-impressive pen. Guardado, who spent two-plus seasons...

According to Rotoworld.com, the Mets have non-tendered infielder Argenis Reyes and pitcher Ambiorix Burgos.Burgos, was involved in a hit and run accident in the Dominican Republic that left two women dead and he was also involved in a altercation in Queens with his girlfriend (on non related Mets business) .Reyes was brought up to fill the shoes of a Luis Castillo and take some heat...

The Mets have non-tendered reliever Ambiorix Burgos and second baseman, Argenis Reyes. I expected the Mets to part company with Burgos, especially after the hit and run car accident in the Dominican Republic that left two women dead. Burgos is expected to get major jail time when the authorities are done with him. Non-tendering Argenis Reyes, actually came as a big surprise to me...

It looks like the Mets may get shut out of their primary starting pitching target, Derek Lowe. due to financial hardships and constraints. (you read that right) Omar Minaya, can only spend what the Wilpons are willing to give him. Adam Rubin of the Daily News, paints the current situation... Finding another starting pitcher is the priority for the rest of the winter, according to...

"Of course, we're going to try to win the division. Of course, we're going to be the front-runner. Of course, we're going to be the team to beat," he said Saturday. Four days after agreeing to a $37 million, three-year contract, K-Rod was confident the Mets will put consecutive September ...

According to Joel Sherman of the NY Post, the Mets still have interest in Derek Lowe. Sherman Feels that the Mets are still in it for Lowe , even though the Mets think that Lowe's price will be around the $15 Million dollar per year mark. The Mets would like to re-sign Oliver Perez preferably to a 3 year, 39 Million dollar contract. The Mets seem to think that Randy Wolf ...

I was pretty underwhelmed with the job MLB did on putting Francisco Rodriguez in a Mets uniform, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. (Actually, I was challenged to do this in the comment section.)Here's what I came up with...

The Central Maine Sports Blog is reporting that Francisco Rodriguez is not as close to signing with the Mets as widely reported. The CMSB sources tell us that K-Rod came out of meetings disappointed to the point that reps told other teams K-Rod was available to talk to them at any time. It looks like the Mets offered only 2 years, far from the 5 years K-Rod is looking for. Our source...

During a conference call with the media, K-Rod had his own version of "Meet The Prees". He answered reporters questions, and in doing so he reaveled a little of the bravado and confidence we've only seen from afar up until now. We really needed someone on this team who isn't afraid to stand behind his talent and flaunt it. When you're the best, you shouldn&...

Here are some names that I think the locals could take a look at: Mets Daniel Cabrera - Joe Demayo has reported the Mets interest in him for about a month. Now that he has been non-tendered by Baltimore, it’s possible the Mets swoop in. I like the idea of him competing with Jon Niese for the [...]
