Jose Valentin deserves a Post

After last nights performance don't you think the aging veteran deserves some love? Valentin was en fuego against the Reds (and has been the entire series) going 3-3 w/ a walk and his 5th dinger of the year. The crazy thing is that Valentin, a switch-hitter decided to bat lefty off of left handed pitcher Chris Hammond and hit it a whopping 403 feet to dead center, that's just something you don't see these days when managers play the percentages more than ever and begs the question:.. why would he do that? Also, does his recent hot streak mean that the Met's don't look to add a power 2B (Soriano)? Either way, Valentin should not be on your roster unless you're in a mixed 30 team league.

I really wish YB supported embedded photos already -- this would be a perfect place for a close up of Valentin's razor thin mustachio. Anyway, did you see him steal second yesterday? Or rather, did you see Brandon Phillips miss the tag? Jose's definitely got something magical going on.

Oh yeah, and this series for the Mets has been great moustache-wise...watching Valentin at bat w/ Javier Valentin catching is laughable-man...they both have those crazy 'staches...I wonder if they're related, or if their barbers are related.

Valentin has been a great fill in, but I think Mets fans biggest fear should be that he plays well now and because of it, they don't look to upgrade at that position via trade later on in the season. He's 37 and had averages of .215 in 2004 and .170 in 2005. He does deserve a post though.

They're brothers. They talked about it this morning on the radio with him, especially about him potentially having the bowl over Javier if he had to score on that triple that he almost turned into a inside the park HR.
