Edgardo Alfonzo signs with Yomiuri Giants, takes heat off A-Rod
It appears as though the Alex Rodriguez bubble-of-a-sports-world we live in has been momentarily popped for the time being, thanks to former Mets infielder Edgardo Alfonzo. Alfonzo, now amazingly just 35 years of age and not 65, apparently didn't retire...

John Walters of AOL, posted a few profiles on four Mets prospects.
Jon Niese, LHP: With the Mets' rotation seemingly set, Niese will most likely start the season at Triple-A Buffalo, but if Tim Redding struggles, or if John Maine's injury woes from last season continue, Niese will be the guy to fill in. His cup of coffee with the Mets last season should prove to be beneficial to...

Like a recurring nightmare, the steroid scandal just won't go away. Baseball fans awake in a cold sweat and are bombarded with analyst of why players with superior talents, such as Alex Rodriquez, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Andy Pettitte, and Roger Clemens, among too many others, would tarnish their lofty accomplishments in the name of greed.
That is what starting the performance...

Mets Lineup is to Left handed
The Mets lineup has not changed much from 2008. The lineup needs some balancing and that where you could benefit from having Manny Ramirez in the lineup.

Here is the Mets projected lineup:
1)Reyes- SS - S
2)Castillo- 2B - S

Escalona a red-hot name among spring previews
May I ask why? Left-handed reliever Sergio Escalona may be on the 40-man roster, but he has only 15 games of Double-A bullpen experience. The 24-year-old is a darkhorse for a spot with the Phillies, according to reports. Beerleaguer: Not unless he's lights out, there's no way. I highly doubt Charlie Manuel even knows who he is at this point, and he will be competing against...

Wily Mo Pena is a 27 y/o right handed power hitting outfielder who is only owed 2MM for this year. Back in November I completed this Bio post on Pena and here's how I concluded it:While he hasn't achieved the same success, in my opinion Pena has the potential to be a younger and much cheaper ...

After having right hip surgery on November 24, many expected Chase Utley

Positive reports for Utley
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Barely 2 months into his rehab expected to take 4 to 6
months, the reports on Phillies star Chase Utley's hip continue to come back
positive. Yesterday, the second baseman fielded ground balls for the first time
since his hip surgery Nov. 24, although the grounders weren't exactly lasers
deep in the hole.
They were weak, and easy . . .

Well all it took was a 5MM base salary and another 1MM in achieveable incentives. The Mets were said to be holding the line at under 4MM but Abreu was said to be willing to give a home town discount. I think the Mets will live to regret not finding the extra 3MM ( if it would have cost that) to ...

So this A-Rod story has been hashed out over and over by nearly everyone, including many of my esteemed brethren at this website. The story came out. A-Rod came “cleanâ€.
