OMIR SANTOS RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Tigers have removed catcher Omir Santos and Brad Thomas from their 40-man roster and optioned both to triple-A Toledo.  This is a procedural move that will result in both players becoming free agents.  If he never plays another major league game, Santos can say that he played in a playoff game.  After being added to the post-season roster as the Tigers backup catcher, Santos played in one

2 former Mets will be playing with new teams come the 2011 season. Catcher Omir Santos, who refused a assignment to triple A and was released by the Mets was signed to a minor league deal with the Detroit Tigers. Santos who was named to the Topps Rookie All Stars last year didnt have any at bats with the Mets in 2010 and hit pretty a paltry .160 for the Mets in the Minors with...

Omir SantosOriginally uploaded by Michael G. BaronLeave it to the Mets to create a mess from a mess, the Mets finally did the right thing in designating GMJ for assignment.Matthews was the epitome of a one hit wonder in baseball terms, after putting up startling numbers in Texas he came back down to earth under the pressure of a big contract in Los Angels . The Mets hoped that at...

Many wanted Omir Santos to be the Mets opening day catcher, after his solid job of filling in last year when Brian Schneider went down and Ramon Castro was traded. But apparently many of the Mets pitchers and coaching staff weren't satisfied with Santos behind the plate even if he could repeat his offensive numbers.If Santos could have repeated his 2009 numbers then the two catchers...

With Daniel Murphy at 1B, Omir Santos behind the plate and Angel Pagan in center the Mets are almost do making moves this off-season.Mind you that includes Santos catching Mike Pelfrey, John Maine, Oliver Perez and Francisco Rodriguez. I had a marquee at the end of the season "still believing but demanding change", obviously the Mets could careless about my demands or many...

Last week Topps released its All-Star Rookie team for 2009 and while there were some justified selections and some questionable ones, the player that has the most intrigue for me is the Mets’ Omir Santos. He beat out phenom Matt Wieters, who most thought would be in contention to take home the Rookie of the [...]

It looks like the Mets didn’t get completely shutout as far as awards go for the 2009 season. After missing out on any off season hardware including any Gold Glove or Silver Slugger awards, the Mets manged to pull one out of the hat when catcher Omir Santos was named to the Topps All Star Rookie [...]

Although there are certainly a lot of issues the Mets need to deal with this offseason, the catching position is probably garnering the least amount of attention. There has been daily chatter about John Lackey, Matt Holliday, Chone Figgins, and...

Last week I was a little surprised when the Mets reassigned Robinson Cancel to Minor League camp. Given how difficult it is for Ramon Castro to stay healthy for an entire season, I thought Cancel would be one of the last guys to go this spring. Cancel did a decent job filling in last year and actually had a couple of big hits for us including down the stretch on September 25th when...
