Val Pascucci

[Guest AG/DC]

Val is a 29-year-old minor league slugger who signed a deal with the Mets last week and was assigned to the Zephs last week around the same time Brady Anderson went down. He's an outfielder/firstbaseman that could indicate a drain on Mickey Abreu's playing time.

In nine games since joining the team, he's battered the ball to the tune of .333 / .410 / .727 // 1.138.

Yes, thank you for asking, he is a veteran of Omar Minaya's Expo system. His only big-league experience was with the doomed Expos in 2004, where he didn't do much.

Brady Anderson retired years ago , Brady Clarke only recently.

Should Delgado be worried?


Oh sorry , Clarke didn't retire , right?

[Guest AG/DC]

Right, Clark.

If Delgado should be worried, it's not because of Pascucci. No, it is because of Delgado.

It seems the Phils recently gave up on him for no good reason. (He clearly wasn't getting anything to hit.) The Mets outbid the Cubs on him.

The Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday released 29-year-old OF Val Pascucci from their Triple-A affiliate, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs of the International League.

In 25 games with Lehigh Valley, the right-handed batting Pascucci hit .232 with one home run, two doubles and seven RBIs. Pascucci led the club with 18 walks and was second on the team with a .370 on-base percentage.

A 15th-round selection by Montreal in the 1999 draft, Pascucci entered 2008 a career .278 hitter with 146 HR and 548 RBI in seven minor league seasons. He led the Pacific Coast League with 34 home runs with Triple-A Albuquerque in 2007.

This must be a really slow news day.
