"[T]he first-base VIP entrance will be named after Gil Hodges, who led the Mets to their first World Series title in 1969, while the third-base VIP entrance will honor pitching legend Tom Seaver, widely considered the franchise's greatest player. The left-field VIP entrance will be named after Casey Stengel, the team's colorful first manager, and the outfield bridge will be dedicated as Shea Bridge to commemorate William A. Shea, who was instrumental in bringing National League baseball back to New York after the Dodgers and Giants moved to California following the 1957 season."

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.

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.
