Who wouldn't want a little Felix Pie?

I'll take Theriot, thank you very much. Oh, and they can throw in Matt Murton, too.

Edgy, that question might just offend entire generations of cat and/or cartoon lovers.

yep. in a bare cupboard, those are the best cups.

Theriot looks like the second coming of Jason Tyner, 11 D, 4 T, 0 HR in AAA last year. Unless he's the second coming of Bill Mazeroski with the glove, he appears to be not much of an improvement over A Hernandez. And AH is very good with the glove, too.

As for Murton, IIRC he only had 10-12 HR while playing half of 100+ games in Wrigley Field (Yes, he hit close to .300). That's not that big improvement, if any, over what the Mets could expect from Green, and I don't recall Murton being a gazelle in the OF.

I'd want more for Heilmann than those two. They seem redundant with what the Mets currently have. At best, they seem to be a slightly incremental improvement. (That was redundant, wasn't it?)

Michael Pelfrey: Shut Down from the AFL
RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com

Friday, November 3, 2006

Update: Pelfrey has been shut down from throwing in the Arizona Fall League because of general soreness and nothing more, the NY Newsday reports. GM Omar Minaya said. "When you get aches and pains this time of year, why not shut him down?"

Recommendation: Pelfrey should be fully healed from his lat injury by spring training and could get a shot at earning a spot in the Mets' rotation depending on what the team does this offseason.
