On a scale of colors where signing Pujols would rate a bright red...

I give this Cedeno signing a beige.

I don't understand your scale

Where does that rank between Tom Seaver and Alex Cora?

by Shevshevy on Jan 15, 2012 2:19 AM EST up reply actions  

Somewhere in between Fernando Tatis and Joe Orsulak

Hey, did you know!

This one time, Fernando Tatis hit two grand slams in the same inning off of the same pitcher!

I learned that from Gary Cohen 458,934,509,357,397,357 million times!

DEATH TO THOSE THAT MENTION THE TWO GRAND SLAMS IN ONE INNING!

(even if you are trying to be funny).

Now, kids, being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep; in giant blender.

I was going to say much lower than that,

but you’re not far off. With the arb cases not yet settled, he looks to be tied with Carrasco for 10th-highest salary. Of course, that’s somewhat skewed by there being 6 or more guys on the roster who haven’t even hit their arb years yet.

Yup

Duke would of been a good fit in this stadium, I think.

I agree

If Tejada and Murphy are starting middle infielders, I would be plenty happy with Turner and Valdespin off the bench.

I agree. Harden and Davis I would have liked

but seeing Zach Duke pitch for the Mets would make me miserable.

Any of these three would be good for us.

blech, Im not usually one to get down on the Mets for picking up spacefillers from time to time

but theres something so entirely unappealing about the phrase “Mets middle infielder Ronny Cedeno”

Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
