WHITESIDE IS BACK! - nuschler 2011-12-17 15:46:28 (48 views)
- LOL...always good to see the Nusch get loose - JoeDaddy 2011-12-19 21:48:29 (10 views)
- Whiteside is a waste of a roster spot!!..He sux on offense and is average to.. - Ghost Dog 2011-12-18 09:55:52 (32 views)
- I rather have Keppinger back. We need a cheap bat and good backup for Franchez!! - juan 2011-12-18 09:07:10 (89 views)
  - +1,000,000..It's a mystery to me why they'd choose Fontenot.. - Ghost Dog 2011-12-18 09:51:20 (32 views)
    - Seems pretty obvious to me. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-21 13:19:13 (15 views)
    - We're on the same page. I do not get Sabean. He also passed on Josh Willingham who signed for $21 M/3 yrs, but Sabean grabbed Jeremy Affeldt for $10 M/2 yrs. - juan 2011-12-18 14:29:16 (22 views)
    - It's not that much of a mystery. Kepp plays one position, 2nd, with a weak arm. Fontenot is cheaper, and can back up 2nd, SS and 3rd. - starburst 2011-12-18 11:42:39 (17 views)
      - Plus the money, too. - JoeDaddy 2011-12-18 12:44:02 (25 views)
        
        I'm not sure what kind of bumps guys get in arbitration, but without it, it should be less. - juan 2011-12-18 14:01:33 (34 views)
  - Keppinger wasn't going to be all that cheap. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-18 09:20:51 (22 views)
- Hedging their bets. They won't know how well Posey's ankle holds up until spring training and possibly part way into the season. - starburst 2011-12-17 18:33:54 (35 views)
  - Ronny Paulino - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-12-17 21:35:09 (31 views)
    - I dunno. He didn't acquit himself well at the Mets. Didn't work hard, refused to pinch hit. According to this, anyway. - starburst 2011-12-18 08:05:03 (29 views)
      - sounds eerily similar to some of the negative shots the Mets media took at Pagan on his way out - JoeDaddy 2011-12-18 12:49:36 (26 views)
        
        Yeah, but that's true for anything. Here is the review of the catching situation for the Mets from the McCovey Chronicles' sister site. - starburst 2011-12-18 14:22:59 (26 views)

      - Well, yes and no. $600 k if he makes the SF club. $175 k if he's in the minors. - starburst 2011-12-18 11:45:33 (18 views)
        
        he's dead weight on the 40 man roster - DJ 2011-12-18 17:27:20 (24 views)
      - Atleast it's only $600K, they can drop him anytime. Sabean laughs at 600k. - JSlice 2011-12-18 01:25:52 (18 views)
