Williams Traded to Mets for Minor Leaguer
Robert Manuel, a right-hander in low A ball. That's all I know, and I don't know if that's even accurate. Have at it.

Re: I'm hearing Williams to the Mets for ...
This calls to mind the Yankees fan's quote about the trade of Womack. Is this guy still alive? Not that that would be a deal breaker or anything....

As long as the Mets pick up his salary, I'm 'bout it.

I know he's old for rookie ball, but 49 K and 4 BB is promising. Heck, getting anything of value is promising.

He wasn't drafted last year and signed as a FA...does he have to wait to be traded (PTBNL route) or can he report straight to the team he is traded to.

Re: I'm hearing Williams to the Mets for ...
You're absolutely right, NJ Reds. Here's his line for 2005 with the Brooklyn Cyclones:
2 games, 5 IP, 5 hits, 5 KO, 0 BB, 1 earned run surrendered (a home run), 1 hold, 1.00 WHIP, 1.80 ERA. Last edited by Guacarock; 05-25-2006 at 03:12 PM. |

That was last year. The Cyclones don't start until late June.

Re: I'm hearing Williams to the Mets for ...
Hearing that we might be able to deal Williams makes me think that Dan O'Brien was even more of a loser for not being able to get ANYTHING when we DFA'd D'Angelo last year.

Re: I'm hearing Williams to the Mets for ...
Crap, I used to go to Cyclones games a lot, I wonder if I've seen him pitch. I will check my scorecards.
I would take pretty much any pitcher under the age of 35 for Williams. and Manuel's age is listed as 0, so that's encouraging.
