Mike Pelfrey, Manny Acosta, Ramon Ramirez, and Andres Torres all filed for arbitration before the midnight deadline last night.
Pelfrey earned $3.925 million, Torres earned $2.2 million and Ramirez earned $1.65 million in 2011. They are all expected to get significant raises for the upcoming season.
Tuesday is the deadline for teams and players to exchange salary arbitration figures. If both parties cannot settle on a contract, they will go to a hearing in February where an arbitrator will decide between the two salary offers exchanged by both sides.
Pelfrey went 7-13 with a 4.74 ERA in 33 starts last season. Acosta went 4-1 with a 3.45 ERA in 44 appearances. Ramirez went 3-3 with a 2.62 ERA in 66 appearances last season with the San Francisco Giants. Torres hit .221 with 24 doubles, one triple, four home runs, 19 RBIs, 19 stolen bases and a .643 on-base-plus-slugging percentage also with the San Francisco Giants.

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. Injury reasons aside the Mets will enter the season with a new lead-off man for the first time in many years. Terry Collins...

The only thing sadder than watching the Mets’ failings of the past few years is watching those failings set to the music of Sarah McLachlan. The Canadian songstress’ haunting, melodic voice is almost enough to make me want to help these sadsack New York Mets by donating my hard earned money to their cause.
Notice I said almost.
I say instead of donating the money to the Mets...

The young lefty seems to be getting a lot of buzz lately, while the numbers aren't there yet scouts seem to love his raw stuff. Here's an excellent scouting report of him from Scouting the Sally and an interview from Mets minor league ball. The Mets are thin from...

Twinkies were fine, but the cards were better
I confess there was some sadness when I learned this week that Hostess was filing for bankruptcy.It's not a love for Twinkies, you understand. I haven't enjoyed one in years.But from 1975 to 1979, I'd rush to the Twinkies section of Dan's Supreme and Pathmark to turn over box after box, scanning the bottom for elusive Mets. There were cards issued in 1993, too, but...
