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&rsquo...

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.

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...

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...

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...

Jose Valentin, Julio Franco, Marlon Anderson, and Moises Alou were all great pick-ups their first year, but they all stayed a year too long.I know the Wilpon's don't like to waste money but most of the guys I'm talking about, made less then 2MM a year and when Minnesota...

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 there any chance Luis Castillo can rebound as a Met from his horrible year in 2008. Many Mets fans were incensed by Castillo contract prior to the start of the season, then Castillo had an awful year and it became hard for him to even take the field. Now most Mets fans want him...

If you were like me, you probably didn't even bat an eyelash when you heard that the Mets signed starting pitcher Freddy Garcia. I just looked at it as another one of those classic Omar Minaya moves. You know the ones.. Minaya has become quite adept at resurrecting the careers...

It's early and nobody has seen him pitch yet, but if I were to guess Livan Hernandez is third in line for the fifth starters job. Whether it's Tim Redding ( as Dan Warthen indicated) or Freddy Garcia I have to believe Livan falls somewhere behind them. Marty Noble in a recent...
