Mets Sign Outfielder Cory Sullivan

According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, the Mets have signed outfielder Corry Sullivan, formerly of the Colorado Rockies. Cory Sullivan, arguably one of the best defensive center fielders in Rockies' history, has caught on with the Mets, signing a one-year, $600,000 major league deal with $300,000 in incentives. Sullivan was a career .279 hitter with the Rockies in four seasons, splitting time as a starter and reserve beginning in 2005. It's an odd move and makes me wonder what the future holds for recently acquired Jeremy Reed as well as Angel Pagan, who is still on the roster. Currently, the Mets have Carlos Beltran, Ryan Church, Dan Murphy, Angel Pagan, Jeremy Reed, Fernando Tatis and now Cory Sullivan on the Major League roster. That's sounds like about two outfielders too many, so maybe a trade is in the works?
