Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
What? What? This cannot be. That was just a PR ploy.

Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
It seems like he always killed the Reds. I hate to see him back in the NL.

Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
Interesting ripple effects here. The Mets were one destination for Matt Holiday. Without the Mets and the Yankees saying they weren't signing a big ticket FA this off season its the Red Sox or bust for Holiday. The Angles could be a destination but Artie Morano hates Boras which makes the signing there unlikely. It looks as if Holiday should have taken the extension Colorado offered him a few years ago.

Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
Mets need pitching, much more than hitting.

Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
He's not going to like hitting in that park. But I guess for 66 mill he probably doesn't care.

Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
What a tremendous mistake. That can eat up so much payroll. Worried whether Mets will even be able to afford a team this year. There are AAA prospects so much cheaper. Should have just put a minor league hitter out there, anyone can play left.
Makes no sense. Whoops, sorry, wrong team. |

Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
Dude only had one offer on the table after the Red Sox pulled their's and signed Cameron. Bay didn't want to play for the Mets but his options were limited as no other team made a serious play. Bay's agent tried desperately to get the Sox back in the mix but they wouldn't bite for the money the Mets offered. If Bay gets off to a bad start could be trouble.

Re: Jason Bay Signs With Mets
Bay is so bad defensively that a fair amount of his offensive pluses are negated. Plus you never know what will happen on the south side of age 30. Not a wise move by the Mets IMO. Not that he won't help in 2010. I just think by 2012 it could start to get a big ugly in NY.

As good as Bay is would he even be a big deal if he hadn't played for the Sox? it just peeves me how much attention these guys get playing in Boston or New York....can you imagine if Dunner had put up his career numbers in a Boston uni? The sportswriters would've already enshrined him by now |
