Mets Ink 53rd Catcher- Welcome Rod Barajas

Well these fuckin shit faces are at it again.  The New York Mets signed yet another fucking catcher who sucks dick.

The Mets signed shitty free-agent C Rod Barajas to a one-year, $1 million contract.

Barajas can earn another $1 million in ‘easily-attainable incentives, like get on base twice, and catch for at least one inning. you know… shit like that.

The 34-year-old cock sandwich Barajas hit .226 last season with 19 HR and 71 RBI.  Fucking great.

That means someone is getting the fucking axe.  Watch out Santos.

Well, at least this guy has balls.  Last year, mid game, he went up to some lady in the stands and started eating her out.  By the looks of it, he may not be that good at that either.

Mets News – Mets bring back Jacobs for an encore.

Published by D-Money under Mets News, Mets Players, The Mets

In the latest news (last week) from the Mets. They have come to agreements with Mike Jacobs and pitcher Hisanori Takahashi for minor league contracts. They would both make roughly a million bucks each if they are added to the Major League rosters.

I like this move. I personally have absolutely no love for Daniel Murphy. He is a shitty fielder. He is a lefty with minimal power and not much of an on-base prowess. I do not think he would even make the roster on most ball clubs. On the other hand. Mike Jacobs has proven himself in this league as someone who can knock the ball around.

Mike Jacobs started his career as a Met. He hit 11 homers in his first 100 major league at bats. Why in the world would the mets keep a guy like that. Why not trade him for an over-the-hill, injury prone Carlos Delgado. That is exactly what they did.

In his best year with the Marlins. Jacobs hit 32 homers with 93 RBI’s. He never hit for average but can sure knock the ball around. Lets hope this works out for him. I am rooting for Mike Jacobs.

Mets News – Mets eye Smoltz, Sheets in search for pitching.

Published by D-Money under Mets News

With about a month until pitchers and catchers. The mets management is gathering in Port St. Lucie to try and finish off putting the 2010 roster together. Coincidently, the two positions they are looking at is ‘Pitchers and Catchers’. The Mets are keeping a close on on Ben Sheets. Although Sheets did not pitch in all of 2009 due to elbow surgery. He is still eying a big time one year contract. He will most likely end up in Oakland or Texas.

On the other hand, Smoltz is someone the Mets are more likely to sign for that number 2 spot behind Johan in the rotation. At 42 years old, who knows what is impact could be on the mound. He would be a great person to have around in the club house.

Mets News – Mets have signed Jeff Francoeur for another year.

Published by D-Money under Mets News, Mets Players

Today the Mets have announced a 1 year agreement with outfielder Jeff Francoeur for $5.5 Million dollars. I think this is a good decision. Francoeur has always been called out for his play while he was in Atlanta. It seemed he was an underachiever until he joined the Mets last year in a trade for outfielder Ryan Church. This was probably the best move the Mets made all season last year. For some reason coming to the big city he came out of his shell hitting .311 with 20 doubles, 10 homers and 41 RBI in 75 games making him a crown favorite. Hopefully he keeps up the good work.

Mets News – Mets and John Maine come to 1 year agreement to avoid arbitration.

Published by D-Money under Mets News, Mets Players

Now this is some exciting news…… John Maine came to terms with the Mets for $3.3 Million. Lets hope, for some reason that he has a good season. Even though he has only had one good season in his career. And by season I mean pitching a decent amount of games, being over .500 and having an ERA under 4.

Lets me realistic. This guy is nothing more then average at best. Hopefully they can trade him and someone else for a real pitcher.

Mets News – Jason Bay passes physical to make deal official

Published by D-Money under Mets News, Mets Players

It is true. Jason Bay passed his physical this morning. He is officially a Met. I wonder if this will cause him to suck like the rest of the team. There will be a press conference at Citi Field tomorrow morning to make the announcement. I should show up and try to get a press pass.

Mets Sign Rookie To Record Breaking Deal

Forget Stephen Strasburg or Aroldis Chapman, the Mets signed a record breaking $427 million 15 year contract on this kid…

His name is Darrell Sanford.  He is 3 months old, which will make him 15 years and 3 months old, when his contract is up.  We have no idea what position he will be playing because he has yet to walk, or speak for that matter.  Omar Minaya said he is unsure if this kid even will ever develop motor skills,  but said he remains committed to stocking the farm system with young prospects.

Sanford had this to say after the signing and receiving a check for $427 million…

Mets News – The Mets have a new left fielder and power bat.

Published by D-Money under Mets News, Mets Players

Ok folks. It is official. The Mets have come to an agreement with power hitting free agent left fielder Jason Bay. This news of course is pending a physical by the Mets doctors.

It is said that he signed to a 4 year $66 Million dollar deal. This might include an option for a 4th year as well. I guess the idea of Bay getting 5 years from any other team didn’t come into fruition.

In 2009 Bay hit roughly .270 with 119 RBI’s and 36 Homers. He is a career 280 hitter, averaging 30 homers and 90+ RBI’s in his six full season in the big leagues.

Jason Bay was a rookie of the year in 04′ and has made the all-star team 3 times.

I really hope this works out….

Who in the world is R.A. Dickey?

Published by D-Money under Mets News, Mets Pitching

The Mets are on the verge of an agreement with a 35 year old knuckleballer named R.A. Dickey. Another no named sub .500 pitcher on the roster. Who would have thought….

Just not sure what the actual reasoning behind this is? Why don’t they sign an actual minor league prospect to a minor league contract instead of an old road warrior. Where is this going? Is he someone that can be used in a future trade? Who else would want this guy?

Mets snooze and lose on right hander Marquis

I am pretty excited that the Mets have put in some effort to better there line up with the likes of Jason Bay. I am pretty excited that they are taking into consideration that if they want to get the most out of there pitchers. They need a good experiences catcher with a good baseball mind in the likes of Bengie Molina. I feel that both of these great player would add to the current Mets roster.

In the wake of all the rumors of Bay leveraging the Mets against themselves. The hold up of Molina wanting that extra year on his contract despite the fact that he is 35 years old. The Mets have seem to have completely forgot about the fact that they are in extreme need for starting pitching.

It is a very well known fact that in order to compete late in the year (post-season). You have to have at least 2 aces in your lineup. John Maine, Mike Pelfrey or Oliver Perez are 4th or 5th in the rotation on any playoff bound team in the league. If you ask me, they would be lucky to even be on the roster of a team that is competing come October.

I am not saying that I am love with Jason Marquis either. His best year came in 2004 when he went 15-7 with a 3.71 ERA. Since then he has been nothing but average. His career pitching numbers being just above .500 with an ERA close to 4.50. He did have a good start last year making the All-Star team for the first time in his career due to a 11-6 start. The second half of the season didn’t go as well finishing up at 15-13.

After going on about how shitty Marquis is. I realized that the mets probably didn’t lose out on this. More so passing up another opportunity on the next Oliver Perez. But where do they go next. Is there anyone else out there in the mix? All of the real pitchers have been snatched up by contenders.

Is there any big name players out these that even care to play for this organization anymore?
