Not so long ago, upon hearing this about Minaya asking for Matui's records, I may have blown a gasket in rage. However, after gaining some self-control and learning a little about the world of rumors throughout the blogosphere (mostly from reading Matt Cerrone), I am taking this with a grain of salt.
I think there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Arn Tellem has had a strong career as the agent for Mussina, Giambi, Utley, and many others. I almost feel that sometimes GMs throw agents a bone by helping them with clients. Maybe I am wrong, but I do not see Omar being interested in the aging outfielder to settle a long term issue like left field at Citi Field.
I think Omar is posturing a little, if not for him, maybe for Tellem.







Omar is a bum and needs to be fired the fact that he is looking at him and is about to sign a 38yr old Catcher who might play 60 games and can't even hit better the Johan Santana is a sign of a guy who doesn't know baseball at all. He just keeps aging not very good Hispanic ballplayers employed

"He just keeps aging not very good Hispanic ballplayers employed"
Would the resigning of Schneider make u feel better? Or a 41yr old named Brad Ausmus? Then theres Zaun and Kendall who are old as dirt too. Before you make ignorant comments about Omar and his Hispanic preference bs, why don't u look at what he has to work with 1st.

That wasn't an ignorant comment. So get off it.He has plenty to work with Bengie Molina is 35 and plays better defense can hit so can Rod Barajas there both the best free agent Catchers on the maarket both Hispanic by the way thats who he should be going after not Blanco and my comment that i made from the last one prove me wrong that he doesn't go after worthless ballplayers (see the signing from last year of one Oliver Perez) Randy Wolf is 2 times a better pitcher then he will ever be and would have been cheaper. All i'm saying is it's time to bring in somebody who will get us quality not quanity. Maybe you should look at what he has to work with.

By the way i also feel that the Wilpon's should sell the team there just as worthless as Minya Niether know anything about what it takes to build a Championship Caliber Team.
