Yea

I saw that on MetsBlog, but its voracity is tenuous at best. The article indicates that Rodriguez went to New York to be checked by the Mets’ doctors, but the entire account is given by “a source linked to stellar closing Venezuelan” (translation via Google). There are no quotes from Rodriguez or his agent, so until this gets reported by someone reputable I don’t think there’s much to grab onto here.

More

The Mets and Rodriguez’s agent Paul Kinzer know nothing about it.

Didn't think so

These reports are interesting though, because they gauge the fan reaction. Seems very positive for signing K-Rod.

Maybe

…the title refers to a sign named K-Rod that belongs to Met.

I am, too

I’m also glad you were the asshole on this one. I think it would seem more pedantic coming from the guy who writes the site.

…especially when that guy just called a rumor “voracious.” When I’m pretty sure it just had dinner.

Sorry, this wasn’t originally a thread about who was the biggest spelling asshole, was it?

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
