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...

Since this blog was started in December of 2006, each year I identify one free agent that I feel is a must for this team. Sure if were going to spend there are others I'd like to see brought aboard but there is always that one free agent I think could put us over the top. So far...

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...

In an attempt to add some depth and leadership to their rotation (and possibly bullpen), the Marlins signed starter/reliever Mark Hendrickson to a one year contract. It looks as though the Marlins will use Hendrickson in their rotation, since their bullpen was a strong point last season...

With two spots up for grabs on the bench, there are at least six players in the running for those positions. The front runners appear to be Marlon Anderson and Jeremy Reed, however; those two have some very stiff competition from Bobby Kielty, Cory Sullivan, Rob Mackowiak, Angel Pagan and yes ...

It looks like the Mooooooostache, Jose Valentin (I think only RZA will get that) tore his ACL, which I assume means he's out for the season. Also today, my official "I'm Keith Hernandez" t-shirt arrived today (orange and blue). I'll have to get Mrs. SCZA to take a picture.

Talk about getting off to a good start, the Mets couldn't have scripted the start to spring training any better then what they got today. Two of the players who needed to get off to fast starts, did so today in Luis Castillo and Ryan Church... Many believe that the only reason...

Assuming that the Mets go with a five player bench and seven relievers in the bullpen, it really leaves just three open bench spots beacause naturally you have the Tatis/Murphy platoon and backup catcher Ramon Castro taking up two of those precious five spots.
