Mets agree to terms with Scott Hairston

Via Matthew Cerrone's Mets Blog  |  January 05, 2012
Andy Martino of the New York Post says the Mets have agreed to terms with Scott Hairston on a Major League contract. Joel Sherman of the New York Post says Hairston is in New York undergoing a physical. In 79 games for the Mets in 2011, Hairston, 31, hit .235 with a .303 on-base percentage, seven home runs and 31 RBI in 145 plate appearances. Hairston hit .167 through April, but...

Mets Notes: Cedeno, Hairston, 40-man issues and CRG

Via Mets360.com  |  January 07, 2012
The Mets have reached agreement with infielder Ronny Cedeno on a one-year deal, worth just north of $1 million. The Mets had no backup shortstop on the roster so Cedeno certainly fills a need.

Mets Re-Sign Scott Hairston

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 05, 2012
I got this one, Hojo… This from Joel Sherman of the NY Post: Hairston, 31, hit .235 with seven homers and 24 for the cost of $1.1 million last season. I took a look at his 132 at-bats last season and never mind for a second that he batted .235, but did you know if you prorated his numbers over 500 at-bats, Hairston would have hit 28 home runs with 96 RBI? Of course he won’t...
