Let me preference this by saying, I've never been one of those guys that has clamoured for the return of Ty Wigginton, of the two deals that were made on that fateful day in 2004, the Wiggy deal was fair.In a true tribute to his popularity, since he left in 2004 there always seems to be Mets fans who want him back.But in this particular case Wigginton seems to be the perfect fit, to meet our needs. Wigginton is versatile enough to play multiple positions ( 1B, 2B, 3B, OF), he's slumping so he wouldn't cost much in exchange, he's a good clubhouse guy and is very close to Wright while having a solid, big game bat.
