Have a good weekend everyone. I'm taking a little off-season weekend break. Enjoy the links. Meet the Mets Metsblog reports that Carlos Delgado, Brian Schneider, and Gary Sheffield will be Type B free agents during this offseason. That JJ Putz trade didn't work out so well long-term or short. He could still remain valuable to the Mets as a jersey designer though. Metsradamus is already worried that...

Carlos Delgado, Brian Schneider, and Gary Sheffield have been categorized as Type B Free Agents by Elias. …in other words, if the Mets offer salary arbitration to any of these three players, and if they decline it and sign with a new team, the Mets will be rewarded one additional draft pick for each player in the ‘Sandwich [...]

I am not talking today about a plan for peace in the Middle East, or missile shields in Eurasia, or a way to fix the trade deficit. No, the plan I will be revealing over the next few days is much more expansive…much more improbable…but just as important! The plan I propose today is a roadmap for victory in the MLB. Today I take up the cause of my recently hapless New York Mets …the...

Today marks the start of a 15-day period when eligible players, like Carlos Delgado and Brian Schneider, may elect to become a free agent, during which the team has exclusive rights to negotiate a new deal. Once the 15-day window closes, which will be Friday, Nov. 20, the player is free to sign with another club. In addition, the deadline for [...]

Since it appears that Rod Barajas is our primary target to fill Brian Schneider's vacated spot, I'll be keeping tabs on him until we obtain a catcher ( him or another catcher) or he signs elsewhere. According to the Toronto Sun the Blue Jays would like to keep Barajas but it doesn't sound like they're willing to outbid someone for him ( the other player their discussing is Marco Scutaro)... "We...

There was a time that Brian Schneider was an agile receiver with a great glove, strong arm, and the added bonus of some pop in his bat. In fact I can remember when Omar Minaya was GM of the Expos, and he supposedly spent every winter turning down offers for his young and promising backstop. Those [...]

In a post to Metstradamus, John takes a closer look at C Brian Schneider. In the end, John writes, “Considering the options out there, Schneider doesn’t look so bad.” …my hunch is the team will return rookie C Josh Thole to Triple-A next season… he looked good, and i believe they see him having the potential to be a Paul Lo [...]

We've cleaned up a few errors since last time; the following players changed types: Yorvit Torrealba from no type to B, Brian Schneider from B to no type, Brian Giles from A to B, Reed Johnson from B to no type, Gary Sheffield from B to no type,...

BRANT WARD S.F. Chronicle file, 2008 Johnnie Lee Higgins, who returned three punts for TDs last season, OAKLAND -- With his long, lanky build, John Fassel more closely resembles Ichabod Crane than your stereotypical football lifer. And yet, when the Raiders' first-year special-teams coach unloaded on his charges in a meeting last week, it was not all that surprising. After all, the Raiders' special...

Image by Keith Allison via Flickr Now that I’ve written about what the Mets should do at first base next season, I thought it was time to move on to catcher. The 2009 season was filled with dichotomy at catcher, Brian Schneider was a complete bust in his walk year and Omir Santos emerged as a [...]

Maybe I'd just gone numb, but a couple of weeks ago it seemed to me that the Mets at least stopped losing in horrifying ways and began losing in quiet, mundane ways. Not that it ultimately mattered to the bottom line -- for we the faithful it was kind of like being a lobster placed in water that was gradually brought to a boil instead of being hurled into something already bubbling and hissing -- but...

You'd figure everybody had all the evidence they needed to prove just how inept the 2009 Mets were. They've filled gag reels and faux Monopoly boards with pops that were dropped, fielders who fell and everything that went comically wrong — right? But wait! Another clip has revealed itself. It's footage from September 26, the 155th game of this besotted season. We pick up the action in the fifth...

Yankees 6, Angels 5: After a one-year absence, the Yankees will play in October again. They clinched a berth when Oakland defeated Texas. Then the Yankees bounced back to beat the Angels after blowing a 5-0 lead. Alex Rodriguez hit a two-run homer in the third -- as did Jorge Posada -- and then hit the tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the ninth. Chad Gaudin, a stealth candidate to be in the playoff rotation,...
