Seems he had some issues before the concussions: Freel gained some notoriety in August of 2006 when The Dayton Daily News reported that Freel talked to an imaginary voice in his head named Farney. Said Freel: "He's a little guy who lives in my head who talks to me and I talk to him. That little midget in my head said, 'That was a great catch, Ryan,' I said, 'Hey, Farney, I don't know if that was you who really caught that ball, but that was pretty good if it was.' Everybody thinks I talk to myself, so I tell 'em I'm talking to Farney." Freel later said that Farney's name arose from a conversation with Reds trainer Mark Mann: "He actually made a comment like, 'How are the voices in your head?' We'd play around and finally this year he said, 'What's the guy's name?' I said, 'Let's call him Farney.' So now everybody's like, 'Run, Farney, run' or 'Let Farney hit today. You're not hitting very well.'" Daymares from Schizophrenia...

Made me numb...seen alot of this since 1966...

They snowed Wright and David hung R.A out..period.

At the moment, we have a AAA OF

At this point Santana is too big a question mark to even speculate.

I couldnt find the one where he covers himself with a beer can.. I wouldnt offer Sizemore more than a minor league deal.

Should be a helluva highlight film!

This guy? That rumor was on bleacher report

We will need Santana in October..

Jonathan Sanchez threw a no-no

And Wright and Wigginton are still in the game after all this time.

I hope the Wilpons fall off the fiscal cliff.

Now he looks like a super villian..

The seniors will love it..

Much smaller than NY This entire endgame with Dickey smells to high heaven. Davidoff, the Xmas party bs...just plain wierd..

Ironically, small market Toronto is willing to pay both R.A. and Reyes.

A fine fellow and passed ball machine.

Tops at 99 and sits at 94/95. Was a straight Fastball/Change thrower. Toronto had him add a slider which increased the velocity in what was a weak third pitch curve. This was from jaysprospects.com a few weeks ago. I'm kinda excited about him.

So Dickey goes to Toronto for 25 Million dollars, the 5 million this year and at least 2 decent prospects. I would say both sides did well but... All that seperated Dickey from remaining a Met was 5 million dollars? Wow...

If the Mets were working with a big market budget this would be a helluva lot easier.

Ceetar wrote: nah, it's just like Davidoff's piece, in that it's wildly speculative. This is akin to all those screaming debate shows, he's taking the opposite viewpoint just because. The only information I've been able to find is that the post reported that some unnamed anonymous person (And I bet in an organization the size of the Mets you can find one person to find something less positive on any other employee) said the Mets are concerned about the off the field distractions and an allusion to them being "not happy" (that's it, DAMNING! not happy? how cruel!) about his comments at the holiday party. Pretty much everything else on both sides was negotiation stuff. In fact, the Mets still thought SO MUCH of Dickey that they singled him out to be one of two current players to be part of the holiday party. Sure, the two departments might not actually talk to each other, but why is no one writing how much the Mets loved Dickey that even as they leveraged him for the future, they wanted him to be part of their holiday party? The Mets treated R.A. Dickey just fine (outside of Jerry Manuel who's no longer here) in my eyes, and I'm tired of the witch hunts just because the Wilpons are easy targets and disliked. This is the same crap the media pulled with the Walter Reed stuff, and it's disgraceful. It's things like this which is why I have so very little respect for the traditional media types. I can't distinguish media types anymore.
