Looks like the Mets settled with all of their arbitration eligible players…
Original Post 10:30 AM
According to Enrique Rojas of ESPN, the Mets and Ramon Ramirez avoided arbitration and agreed on a one-year deal for $2.65 million dollars.
Ramirez could be the leading contender for the Mets setup role in the bullpen, and he can also close if the need arises. The 30-year-old right-hander had a 2.66 ERA in 66 appearances for the Giants last season.
The Mets still have Mike Pelfrey, Andres Torres and Manny Acosta heading for arbitration.

I went to one of Carlos Beltran's last home games as a Met against the Cardinals and there was a large contingent of fans in right field, in fact the crowd was larger then what had become normal in June/July. Many have questioned why Jose Reyes wasn't traded at the deadline, most feel we would have received more in return from a trade then the two picks. The same rumblings...

After an offseason that seemed to be quite boring in the minds of most fans. People ask the question: Do the Mets have any chance to make the playoffs this year?

Lets be honest, the New York Mets are going to suck in 2012, likely finishing in a distant 5th/last place in the National League East division.

The Marlins just added Heath Bell, Jose Reyes, and Mark Buehrle. The Mets...David...

Photo by Michael BaronOver the last seven seasons the Mets have had Jose Reyes and his .341 lifetime OBP leading off. Since 2005 Reyes played in at least 126 games or more aside from his basically lost 2009 season in which he only appeared in 36 games.
