Currently the outfield is made up of Bay (RHB), Torres (Switch), Duda (LHB) and Hairston (RHB).But as Adam Rubin reported the Mets are looking to up-grade the bench from outside the organization, more then likely a left handed hitter but not Willie Harris.The Mets currently have lefty-hitting outfielders Mike Baxter and Adam Loewen under their control, but Sandy Alderson acknowledged Thursday the Mets are looking to upgrade for that role. source ESPN NYWhile there's still some solid righties left, we can probably rule out the RHB with Hairston returning...Milton Bradley, Pat Burrell, Greg Golson, Jonny Gomes, Conor Jackson, Austin Kearns, Ryan Ludwick, Magglio Ordonez, Jason Repko, Cody Ross, Marcus Ryan Spilborghs, Marcus Thames, VladThe left handed hitting outfielders are much ...

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. He’s very good insurance in case Ruben Tejada regresses or if Daniel Murphy gets injured again. Cedeno is not much with the bat in his hands, as he has a lifetime OPS+ of 68 in 2,309...

Scott Hairston to re-sign with the Mets

Via Mets Fever  |  January 05, 2012
Photo by Michael BaronAccording to Joel Sherman the Mets have re-signed Scott Hairston, it's not specified by Sherman at this time but there are reports that it's a minor league deal. Just like last year Hairston is a solid pick-up, he can play all three outfield positions and hit off the bench for power. His first season with the Mets wasn't great but compared to what...

Photo by Michael BaronWe've heard all off-season that the Mets are looking for at least a 4th and maybe a 5th outfielder on the free agent market. But as the financial situation has become bleaker, where they went with Quintanilla as the back-up short stop because the cost of a Jack Wilson/Ronny Cedano/Ryan Theriot was too prohibitive there is the distinct possibility that one...

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...
