Coste agreed to terms with the New York Mets today on a contract that guarantees him a spot on the 40-man roster.

Coste said the Mets were the only team to give him that guarantee, although he said it isn’t a given that he’ll be on the opening-day roster.

Mets sign Chris Coste. The secret to the Phillies' success!

I won’t complain about bringing in some no-cost catchers, with the idea that they’re essentially placeholders until the organization is comfortable with Josh Thole’s defense, which Toby Hyde recently provide some encouraging news on.

I actually like this though.

He was useful in 2008 and 2008, and this is low risk. And it isn’t 2 million.

Useful twice in 2008

As I said eariler about Blanco, meh.

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

40 year old Chris Coste?

We are on our way! To where, you ask? Good question. I thought Santos was our right-handed catcher and that we were looking for a left-handed bat to platoon with him. Guess not.

While we're signing ex-Phillies ...

… anybody here interested in Brett “The Wife-Beater” Myers? If healthy, I think he could be a solid starter for us. He still throws 92-94 mph and he has one of the best curve balls in MLB. He might produce better in our spacious ball park which is Citi Field.
