Bartolo

I guess he might want to join us again

If all else fails, he might be an interesting back of the rotation/spot starter.

He says he wants to rejoin, and then retire from, the Mets:

But if they put the DH into the NL, we would be deprived the fun of watching him bat.

I'd just as soon have him as most of the stiffs we've had the last couple of years

[Frayed Knot]

I'd bet heavily against this happening.

[kcmets]

His bb-ref page has him at 285 lbs so I'm guessing he's around 310 lol...



I've (we've) always thought he'd be a good coach, would love to have TBS back

on in some coaching capacity.

[Lefty Specialist]

Bullpen coach, maybe. Player, no.



At least Steve Cohen could absorb the food cost without feeling it.

[Chad ochoseis]

With the DH a better than even chance to become permanent in the NL, it would be great to have his bat in the lineup.

God made minor-league contracts for a reason.



I'd be very surprised if any team offered him a big league deal.

Hitting another homer > Priceless

Assuming there are fans in the stands, I'd like to see Bartolo get a spring training sendoff like HoJo got. I was at some of those games. He had a chance to put the uniform on, play in some games and get standing ovations and go out on his own terms.
