The Mets Acquire Chip Ambres, Citizens Of Buffalo Cheer

by Sam Page on Jun 10, 2009 5:00 PM EDT

According to Hubbuch, The Mets got OF Chip Ambres from the Red Sox today. You may remember Ambres for his .376 wOBA with New Orleans in 2007. Total Zone had him at 17 runs above average that season. Ambres also had a three game stay with the Mets that year, in which he hit a GWRBI. He's probably an upgrade over Cory Sullivan or whoever else he'll take playing time from in Buffalo. If nothing else, he's a reminder of how uncreative Minaya is and how bad the Mets leftfield situation was in 2007. I suppose he's Emil Brown's replacement, and he's another player I don't want to see on the Mets or batting second this season.

Except that Emil Brown cleared waivers

and is reporting to AAA, too. According to Lennon.

For a few seconds

I thought this was a joke…

I believe he and Terrance Long trotted off the field as a fly ball dropped behind them.

Chip Ambres is useful, but Brad Nelson isn’t. :-(

I hate being a Met fan

I think all Met fans are being punished for a past life. It was so gritty how Omir Santos popped up with the bases loaded. Too bad he can’t teach grit to the rest of the team.
