Around SBN: NHL Free Agency Coverage: NHL Rumors, NHL Signings & Trades


Thursday Morning Mets Newsstand

I loves me some bullets.

  • At MetsGeek, Jeff Mathews breaks down the Matt Wise signing.
  • The Phillies signed Geoff Jenkins to a two-year, $13 million deal with a vesting third year option worth an extra $7 million. Jenkins is 33, can't hit lefties, and hasn't OPS-ed .800 since 2005. The plan for Jenkins may be to split time with Jayson Werth in right field, though that's a lot to pay for 300 some-odd at-bats of .262/.326/.482 production (Jenkins's batting line against righties last year).
  • Carlos Silva to the Mariners is a done deal. Looks like 4/$44 or something thereabouts.
  • Newsday's Ken Davidoff shares his Hall of Fame ballot. Studes has his own thoughts on the hall at the Hardball Times.
  • The Mets may be in the lead for mediocre right-handed and Scott Boras client Kyle Lohse. I'm hearing three or four years at close to $10 million, the fruition of which would make Carlos Silva's deal look like a bargain by comparison.
  • David Pinto looks at the Diamondbacks in the light of their recent acquisition of Dan Haren. Pairing Haren with Brandon Webb gives Arizona two of the five best starters in the National League.
  • In the wake of the Cardinals' recent trade of Jim Edmonds to the Padres, Larry Borowsky compiles his all-time tradee team, an idea I will surely be stealing in the coming days.

Lol, Geoff Jenkins!
Hi, there! Geoff Jenkins left Milwaukee. Besides owning to his back or ankle injury, he missed several games, generally, I am not dispointed by him. In fact, I like this guy. Here you could learn specific and detailed datas of his career phases:

From now on, we fans will never watch his games at Brewers. His #5 Brewers Jersey will be a everlasting memory. I surf his #5 Brewers jersey at http://www.dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=73900
I'm gonna to buy one at as a record of respect and wish. May he succeeds through effort and good luck, away from injury. :)

The price
I think tt seems high to me, but I'm glad he found a spot on a decent team. Good luck!

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
