JOSE VALENTIN RUMORS
Baseball is family affair for the Valentins
Former big league infielder Jose Valentin is obsessed with the game, he loves working with kids and badly wants to improve the state of baseball in Puerto Rico, where he works as an instructor at the academy in his native country.

Other cuts...
In other moves today the Mets have cut Jose Valentin, Tony Armas jr. and Junior Spivey. Valentin still believes he can play in the majors and while being a player/coach in Buffalo seemed like a good opportunity to begin camp, after the spring he's had he'll look elsewhere before he starts his coaching career. It appears they felt they had better options then Armas and Spivey...

Mets sign Spivey
If it wasn't an off day in camp there is no way this would have gotten this much attention. The Mets have signed Junior Spivey to a minor league deal, it's as much an indictment of Ramon Martinez who's hitting .167 as it is a depth acquistion but what does make it surprising is that Jose Valentin and Andy Green are both hitting well. The 34 y/o right handed middle infielder rose...

Good News
I get on the media sometimes for their almost relentlessly negative coverage of this team, but I do understand that negative stories tend to draw more attention than the positive ones these days. As print media outlets in particular fight to survive, this is increasingly important.
Still, though, when a player gets a hang nail these days it seems inevitable that all the papers...

Chemistry Revisited
I had an "interesting" experience
Over the past couple of years Lisa and I have purchased a number of pieces of furniture that had to be assembled. You're probably familiar with the type -- they use cam-type fasteners to go together. It's a pain in the a** to do it, but you get a ...

The Stache Is Back: Jose Valentin Returns To Mets
The New York Post is reporting that the Mets have signed infielder Jose Valentin to a minor league contract. If Valentin makes the big league club he will earn $800,000, which is a very affordable price considering the uncertainty surrounding who will play second base. Valentin’s best year with the Mets, in which he played in 137 games and hit .271 with 18 home runs. There...

The Mets have signed Jose Valentin to a minor league contract… again. He’s an insurance policy at best.

Mets Sign Jose Valentin
The NY Post reports that the Mets have signed Jose Valentin to a minor league contract.
Valentin would earn $800,000 if he were to make the team out of Spring Training.
Valentin was the Mets' primary second baseman in 2006 when he hit .271 with 18 homers.
He broke his tibia the following season and last year never played in the majors, leaving the Mets' Triple-A team in June...

The Stache is Back !!!!
I don't expect much from him, it appears just like Alou that his mind is willing but his body can't keep up. Valentin was a huge part of the 2006 team and a great influence on the younger players. Not only did he surprise everyone by hitting .271 with 18 HRs but he validated the rational for ...

Franco Is a Clubhouse Cancer
First off, I already made a short post about this on our blog, Nyjer Please. But this post is going to be longer due to the larger audience that Epic Carnival has.
Exactly a month ago to this day, our very own Epic Carnival writer and creator of Nyjer Please, Luke Halpert made an "outlandish post" about a racial divide in the Mets clubhouse and said that Julio Franco was...
