The Mets joke of an off season continues. They have reportedly signed former Rockies chump, Josh Fogg to a minor league deal in hopes he can with the 5th spot in the roster. I will not begin to get into his stats, its embarrassing. Suffice it to say, he makes Tim Redding look like an ace. Talk about an underwhelming pitcher, wow.
Is it me, or does it look like that the Mets could have skipped signing all these scrubs to minor league deals and ponied up for a decent starter? I know the free agent class has been not great, but the team doesn't even have a 5th starter. Spending under $5 million for Jon Garland for the 5th spot would have been bad? How about signing Pedro for the 5th spot? He cannot make a whole season, but why not sign him for around $4-$5 million, give him an extra day off for the beginning of the season, and ride him as long as possible. By the time he fizzles, gets hurt, or the league figures him out, bring up Jonathan Niese or another AAA guy.
This is clearly a better idea that Josh Fogg! Pedro will at least sell some tickets and maybe help the team stay a little loose too. Comments, thoughts, ideas about Pedro?
I am lost for words on every signing this yr besides Bay. I have been saying it though since last yr Omar needs to go we could of had Sheets for free!!!!! I will explain for those of you who didnt see the trade we got Mathews jr and 21.5 million dollars we could of taken that money and signed Sheets with it. This is so disturbing i hope we have a new gm and owner soon ones that know baseball and want to see our team shine.
