Register waived....in favor of keeping Stokes

Yes you read that right...what the hell?

Does that make any sense? Stokes has looked terrible all ST. Does someone have to tell Omar we don't need another Mota, it's not in the rulebook that requires us to have someone that sucks to the level of Stokes.

What do you guys think the purpose of making this move was considering Register is a Rule V pick and the odds of someone else being stupid enough to claim Stokes is slim to none.

Meh
Neither is anything to write home about. I agree that Register is more likely to be a useful middle relief guy; he doesn't walk a lot of batters, but has problems with the longball (at least according to his minor league track record). Stokes has much better strikeout marks, but who knows with these guys?

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
