(And rightfully so) He spent some time on the disabled list, along with his fellow Mets, and when he did get a chance to play he was sub-par. He got passed over for the starting job by two rookie catchers.

Former Mets who have officially filed now include Brian Schneider, Carlos Delgado, Alex Cora and Ramon Martinez. I believe that out of that group, at least one of them stands a good chance of returning next [...] Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:15:38 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Mets_Exercise_Option_On_Pelfrey_And_Some_Thoughts/1518470 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Mets_Exercise_Option_On_Pelfrey_And_Some_Thoughts/1518470 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Mets_Exercise_Option_On_Pelfrey_And_Some_Thoughts/1518470 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/b/4/b495ef6bac42cf19a4016cec99b841edb681de44/small/MLB_JUN_21_0d22.jpg On Sept. 6th Mike Pelfrey went eight innings against the Chicago Cubs in which he allowed one run on five hits and one walk, while striking out five. It was a big outing for Pelfrey who had two horrible back-to-back outings, in 9.2 innings he allowed 11 runs on 17 hits and 10 walks while striking out seven.I'm not a big Brian Schneider fan, especially with him hitting under .200 but it was clear to me that Pelfrey's good outing against the Cubs can be attributed to the catcher. In tho...

Schneider never lived up to his reputation as a stellar defensive catcher and while we all expected him to be a weak hitter, no one could have seen him hitting under .200. I do believe most of his struggles can be attributed to nagging injuries that he's played through. "I won't be back," Schneider told the Daily News,...

When he finally allowed a ru...

And, I can’t really blame them, the Mets have not made getting a quality catcher a priority in the past few seasons, unless you call Brian Schneider and his .189/.272/.318 line quality.

Carlos Delgado appears in the same form he finished last year, Delgado hit a two run bomb and drove in two other runs. Beltran followed him with two hits and two RBIs. Surprisingly the biggest hit of the game came from Brian Schneider who hit a ...
