The regurgitation of Jose Reyes’ free agent news reminds me of Benjamin “Bubba” Blue in the movie Forest Gump when he talks about all the ways you can prepare shrimp, you can fry ‘em, bake ‘em, sautee ‘em…………………..where only a simpleton like Gump would listen intently.
Speaking of simpletons, the Phily Phboy of the Daily News had an in depth report on the Mets choices for center field in 2012. Here we see with why he thinks Coco Crisp should be the club’s next CF’er:
Coco Crisp
Upside: Would be a fun name to write and say.
Go back to your coloring books now Andy.
I do agree with Martino on Pagan, the rumblings around the team is Pagan and Ronnie Paulino have piss poor attitudes that both Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson want eradicated from the clubhouse . Omar would have given both players 5 year deals.
No way do I want to see Rick Ankiel in CF in 2012, I could live with Crisp and his shitty OBP for a year I guess but I’d much rather have B.J. Upton and make him perform for a contract. As I’ve written before make a big deal of Upton and Ben Zorbrist for Pelfrey, Parnell, Murphy and a low level minor leaguer. If that can’t be worked out then get creative with Grady Sizemore.
Joel Sherman and his one note band has more Reyes Reruns. Lather Rinse Repeat.
The Mets lost their Director of Amateur Scouting, Chad MacDonald to the Padres where he will be new GM Josh Byrnes right hand man and as much as it’s sad that MacDonald, a force behind last year’s Mets draft that got high marks from those who follow amateur baseball, it is refreshing to see another team coveting a member of the Mets front office. Really who ever wanted to steal Tony Bernazard away from the Mets? The UFC? The Mets will stay in house by promoting scout Tommy Tanous to MacDonald’s old post.






The Phil-A-Nista’s are dozing off after scarfing down  a bunch of soft pretzels with mustard and a case of Schmidts. I don’t know what was worse the stench of cooking scrapple or watching ROCKY movies all day but just as I was about to tell them to shoot me the BLUE and ORANGE phone rang and it was my man Tony Bernazard.
