The Mets signed corner-infielder Mike Hessman to a 90K, minor league contract. He's one of the biggest three-true-outcome hitters in baseball, a Russell Branyan/Jack Cust-type who can absolutely crush minor league pitching. His last three wOBAs in the minors were .383, .414, and .342. He'll improve a Buffalo offense that was anemic last season, and gives the Mets much needed firstbase depth.
