Continuing Careers of Ex Mets - 2011

[metirish]

Old friend Heilman has let it be known that he wants to he a starter.......again /still

[metirish]

Rosenthal says Heilman agrees with D-Backs with a view to starting . Looking at his B-R page , hasn't started a game since 2005 .

Phil Humber claimed by Whitesox.

Are they going to sue? I hear you can get a nice out-of-court settlement if you can prove Phil Humber.

[G-Fafif]

Former rook knows his place -- U.S. Cellular Field, as Lastings Milledge signs with White Sox.

[G-Fafif]

2008 closer-for-a-month (and what a month it was) Luis Ayala signs minor MFY deal.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Cory Sullivan, set to provide outfield depth and little else for the [crossout]World Series champion[/crossout] [crossout]National League champion[/crossout] recent playoff participant Phillies.

[G-Fafif]

Of all the Mets names to cross my mind this winter, Cory Sullivan had remained at large until now. And that's with those two weeks we spent at Cory Sullivan Reminder Camp.

Coach Mookie recalls making peace, addresses race.

[Edgy MD]

Royce Ring showed up to training camp in this baby:

[G-Fafif]

Can't believe Royce doesn't show in a Rolls.

Same could have been said for Reuss.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice find.

I'm no car guy... but that's quite the cherry ride.

[Edgy MD]

Timo Perez gets a minor league deal with Detroit.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Isringhausen trying out... for Mets.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Indeed.

15 months from Tommy John now.

Hmm.

[Edgy MD]

Best case scenario: he gives the team the wiggle room it needs to move Francisco Rodriguez.

[smg58]

John Maine gets a minor-league contract and a camp invite from the Rockies. Best of luck to him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The Phillies had had their eye on Maine. (Guess they figured they would be short on starting pitchers this year.)

[G-Fafif]

Jerry Manuel's been sitting in on MLB Network's Hot Stove this week. Suit's baggy, laugh's haunting, manner's inviting if you hadn't just watched him manage your team into the ground for the previous 2-1/2 years.

[G-Fafif]

Former Met catcher, coach and manager Yogi Berra hews to routine every spring, assisted by some guy who once gave up an All-Star home run to Lee Mazzilli. (Despite the MFY overtones, it's a nice story -- hate to say it, but I always kind of liked that fellow from Louisiana.)

[G-Fafif]

His performance demands negativity. His attitude demands hope.

Joe Posnanski falls for Jeff Francoeur...sort of.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Fuck Jeff Francoeur.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Joe Posnanski falls for Spring Training."

/Fixed

[metirish]

Joe P is great, Jeff F not so great, Bat M is.........great at what he does?

[Edgy MD]

Mike Hampton packs it in after a decade wandering in the desert, searching for his career, and occasionally depositing obscenely huge checks into his bank account.

[seawolf17]

Perpetual Pedro to the DL for the Yankees to start the season.

[G-Fafif]

Luis Ayala and Gustavo Molina fill the temporary ex-Met gap on MFY roster.

and the Mets get lauded in the media for not keeping him right?...right??

[G-Fafif]

Lastings Milledge, DFA'd by Chisox.

[TransMonk]

Heyman tweets that Duaner Sanchez has signed with the Long Island Ducks.
