Is there any way we can fit Cedeno in here somehow?
ESPN.com says "The Mets are trying to deal INF Rey Sanchez to the Mariners and want INF Jay Bell to retire to make room for Jorge Velandia, the Newark Star-Ledger reported July 21." Now, didn't Bell say earlier this year that he'd retire if the Mets sent Joe McEwing down to the minors again? This seems like a golden opportunity to kill two birds with one stone to me. Tonight's home run notwithstanding, McEwing's been terrible this season. Hitting .226/.296/.285 and playing unspectacular defense at a variety of positions, McEwing's continued presence on the roster of a team that's supposed to be looking toward the future is just baffling. I'm glad to see they've wised up about Bell (.187/.367/.200), at least. Of course, Velandia is hitting just .227/.295/.397 at AAA Norfolk, so perhaps it's not that urgent that they bring him up. ¶ joe | 12:14 AM |
