but not indoors. never ever wear a hat indoors.

- has he not even been paying attention this offseason? -

He probably looked at the Marlins "depth chart" and realized that if he were on the Marlins, he'd be their 3rd best player based on MLB stats history...(that is one ugly Depth Chart: Stanton; Logan Morrison, and then a crapfest)...problem is, I don't see anyone on the Marlins roster that would make a lot of sense in a trade for the Mets...

but really, he can wear whatever he damned well pleases.

but not indoors. never ever wear a hat indoors.

youts have thrown that "take your hat off indoor" rule in the trash a long time ago (along with that stupid wearing the hat sideways crap that they like to do nowadays...

(sorry to use My Cousin Vinny terminology)...

One possible destination if a trade materializes would be San Diego, where front-office deputy Omar Minaya is a longtime fan of Valdespin.

The Padres have been looking for lefthanded bats, at least for the bench. I might take a flyer on Kyle Banks. He's struggled with strikeouts and injuries, but 20 HRs in less than 500 major-league ABs while playing his home games in Petco screams upside to me. And he's been fine in the outfield, especially as converted first basemen go. He'd definitely have to pass a physical, but the Padres would presumably have non-tendered him if that was really an issue.

As Jordany's former adoptive parent, I have to be honest. This isn't the first douchey-self-portrait-in-a-non-Mets-cap of his I've found laying around.

The lid's up on that toilet. I want to see the other photo, of the big shit he took in the shape of the Atlanta Braves 'A.'

The inclusion of the toilet in the bathroom self-portrait is just one of the many things wrong with this picture.

The fact that he couldn't get a shot of himself in a mirror without avoiding the toilet and shower tub tells me that he's showing off his manflesh to the ladies while in the lower minors, living with someone on a fixed income --- the handle in the shower stall suggests a semi-handicapped senior --- forced by circumstances to take jackass, flat-brimmed Mets borders in.
