Omar did admit he regrets that as one of his bigger mistakes but to be honest Flores was a class A catcher at the time. Typically you do not need to protect class A guys becaue few teams can essentially keep the plpayer on their roster. Hopefully Thole can continue to rake and can fill C at CitiField for a long time.
I believe it is a designed play in that on plays like that he is to get the ball to Reyes quickly and let him actually make the throw home since he has the better arm and can make up for the fact Murph doesn't have the strongest outfield arm.
Niese makes the most sense since he would be on schedule and they wouldn't have to scramble to fill a spot in Buffalo tonight on the chance Figgy would be needed on Sunday. Also Figgy I believe signed a minor league contract and would need to pass waivers to go back down while Niese would not.
It better be since they spent almost twice as much. I just hope we get as many articles complaining about the prices at NYS as there have been about Citi Field.
Exactly he has been struggling early this season and still is hitting around 300. Once he gets in one of his grooves the K's will balance out and he will end up aroun 100.
He also has not been the distraction thought he would be and based on his comments is saying the right things and knows his role on the team. If you want Sheffield to be a productive PH than he needs at bats.to get his timing.
Must really get at Mike that Sirius wanted Mad Dog and not him.
You mean the injuries that also come from being a catcher. You are innocent until proven guilty. The only things that have come out are a bunch of hearsey. Until something concrete comes out he is innocent and frankly I don't care either way. So many guys did it and not only in baseball.
If you go to your IntenseDebate profile there should be an option to not receive emails. It should be around the lower right corner. I unchecked both and hit update and have not received anything.
I think the Mets have learned the older guy is being brought in for the correct role which bench player occasionally starter with the young guys being the starters.
