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.

Also Figgy I believe signed a minor league contract and would need to pass waivers to go back down while Niese would not.

I just hope we get as many articles complaining about the prices at NYS as there have been about Citi Field.

Once he gets in one of his grooves the K's will balance out and he will end up aroun 100.

If you want Sheffield to be a productive PH than he needs at bats.to get his timing.

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.

It should be around the lower right corner. I unchecked both and hit update and have not received anything.

He does gives us a power bat off the bench. His arm is shot probably but if you stick him left you can compensate by having Reyes go out a littler farther for the cut off and than you have his rocket arm relying the ball in Fri, 3 Apr 2009 17:35:48 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/nyp-mets-close-to-signing-gary-sheffield/#IDComment18097305 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/nyp-mets-close-to-signing-gary-sheffield/#IDComment18096845 However, if he signs for the minimum for vets I would suspect that his leash will be short in terms of causing problems on the team and not performing.

Unfortunately it is currently pouring here in WNY and is suppose to rain all day. Would be a nice present to us fans if the weather could avoid moving to NYC.
