Mike Pelfrey, Ike Davis, Fernando Martinez, and Bobby Parnell or Brad Holt for Adrian Gonzalez? Not only do I see it taking more to get San Diego to hand him over, but what exactly is the point? In Davis, we seem to be getting a guy very much fitting the slugging first baseman mold, and we'll still be without power in the outfield.

I really, really, really hate Wallace Matthews

As much as I hate to link to a Jayson Stark page, I thought it was interesting that this idea he presents on a salary "basement" where teams have to spend a certain minimum amount is pretty much identical to a conversation we had here a while back. Wonder if he read it.

3-4 with a homer and a walk. Nicely done. Ike Davis was 2-4 and also had a BB.

Nick Evans catching in the bullpen plus a little bit of BP. I think I am a bit generous about his catching abilities!

Something weird happened with this video as it has 125 views after only 6 minutes. Odd.

I sent the second question in. Yes, I was trying to set him up, but I was expecting him to at least bash actual Sabermetrics in his grumpy old man ways, and not just WHIP and OPS. Gotta love Marty anyway.

No reason why Omar shouldn't have made this move considering we have waiver priority over MIL based on record. You can never have too many young/cheap/talented catchers in an organization, especially one that hasn't produced a good serviceable catcher in what seems like decades.

While his defense needs work, Kottaras hit 22hrs in AAA as recently as '08. Limited ab's due to injuries/knuckleball catcher status hurt his #'s this season but make no mistake, Kottaras is worth the $400k he's owed and then some.

Is it really that tough to play in New York?

Jim B. from metsmerized thinks so. I was looking through their side chat and saw this insightful comment from the aforementioned commenter. "Joey Votto had a break down last yr after the death of his father, idk if he could handle NY" Apparently playing in New York is as hard on a player mentally as losing a person who loved and raised you from when you were born. Do these people actually understand some of the stuff they say?

I saw this on minorleagueball from poster slacker george. I didn't watch the entire thing, it's twenty minutes, but it's good stuff for anyone interest. He also has video of Evans, Stinson and a bunch of other AFL players, though those are the only two Mets I saw. Here's the link to the whole list.

Also, the videos are in HD!!!
