  Wigginton, Moreno, Brazell and Baldiris get one year deals

The Mets signed their starting third baseman and three minor leaguers with major league potential for another year, but financial terms weren't disclosed. Ty Wigginton set numerous team rookie records and led the Mets in numerous offensive categories, pretty much by default. He and Roger Cedeno were the only two Mets to get enough at bats to qualify for the batting title, which led to funny things like Cedeno leading the team with his .267 batting average. In reality, the 26 year old Wigginton didn't pack much of an offensive punch in .573 at bats, hitting .255/.318/.396 with 11 home runs. He'll need to improve on those numbers to fend off challenges from beneath in the coming years, as the Mets have several options at third base on their way up.

Along with hot corner golden boy David Wright (21 years old, .270/.369/.459 in 466 at bats at A+ Port St. Lucie in 2003) and Victor Diaz (22, .354/.382/.520 in 175 at AA Binghamton), who seems to be preparing for a potential shift to third, Baldiris (20, .313/.396/.427 in 393 at A Capital City) could one day find himself in line for Wigginton's job. The 23 year old Brazell hit .292/.331/.472 in 432 at bats in Binghamton before moving up to Norfolk where he hit .261/.292/.326 in just 46 at bats. The 26 year old Moreno pitched eight innings of relief at the major league level, striking out five and walking three and posting a 7.88 ERA. In 52 innings pitched at Norfolk, he struck out 58, walked 17 and gave up one home run for a 1.90 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP.
