http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/541 Recent articles about Juan Rivera en-us It's seems like the Mets are always interested in Juan Rivera, the 30 y/o right handed corner outfielder has been a mainstay of Mets rumors for several years. He is a lifetime .282 hitter, with a Slg. pct. .470 and an OBP .331/ OPS .801. Rivera has played one major league game at first, but the Angels have contemplated the move for years and he has extensively practiced at the position. Last off-season he signed a three year deal to stay with the Angels worth 12.75MM ( '10'-4.25MM...

We have gotten the predictable production out of Vlad Guerrero and Torii Hunter (despite injuries), Juan Rivera, Chone Figgins and the catchers. But 3 things have really opened my eyes this seaason. 1) Erick Aybar: I was never a believer until I saw this kid play SS for a full season. Not only does he make all the routine plays, he makes the spectacular ones too, and plays Angels baseball the way the Soth wants him to...

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:40:06 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Juan_Rivera_Powers_Up/707256 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Juan_Rivera_Powers_Up/707256 The New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have been in talks about Juan Rivera, but a trade is starting to look more and more unlikely. On the surface a trade between the two ball clubs would make perfect sense. For the Angels, they'd love to move an outfielder and if its Rivera they'd love to send him out of the American League where they don't have to face him. For the Mets, they need right handed hitting outfielder. So what's holding this deal up?
