According to what Matt Cerrone has gathered: Buzz: Mets still interested in Rod Barajas
I actually agree with Cerrone that the Mets should be interested in Barajas because it seems as though he has no market left. Matt thinks a contract of 1/3 would get it done. At this point in early February would it even cost that much? 1/2 seems more than enough. Assuming that the price indeed would be between 2-3M for one year, do you think the Mets should sign Hot Rod? Based only on articles read there is an assumption that he is an average to above average defensive catcher. Based on stats he is Brian Schneider offensively with a little more pop. He is younger than 35 so he has that going for him (Take that Molina) and last season was his first dip below .700 OPS since 2003.

for that price, I give it a shot. Especially if they are really that down on Santos’ defense.
Not sure what you do with him however.
And when I saw the thread title, I was wondering why they were looking at bring back Rod Kahnel (sp?)

Kanehl….
Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Don’t know why some of these long ago players stick in my mind but he does. Considering he was a bit before my time, wasn’t all that good, only played 2 years in the ML (both with the Mets), I don’t know why I should remember him. He must have done something or been compared to someone when I was a kid and he just stuck in my memory.
He could play just about every position, but pitching wasn’t one of them….

I don’t think we’ll ever break even on the exchange because I think at least offensively every catcher is going to look better after 81 home games there as opposed to here. I know we’re half joking when we say it but I think Schneider cracking double figures in HR as their back up is not outside the realm.

Barajas is better than Santos. and Schneider last year, so it’s an upgrade.
I don’t give him stupid money, but $2-4 seems fine. I’m fine with demoting Santos off the 40 man. If we lose him, eh. He’s not really going to give us more than Coste or Blanco anyway.

OK, I actually went and looked up his stats. Man, he is not a good hitter. At all. A .258 OBP in 400 ABs last year (and .295 the year before). That would even embarrass Molina.
He did have 19 HRs, but that was about it with the bat.
So, unless you really, really want him for defense, he really may not bring more to the table than Santos.
He did (before last year at least) play enough games at 1B for BP to list it as a position played (I forget what the cutoff is) though, if that is important. Not that I would be looking for ways to keep his bat in the line-up.

Omir’s metrics (mostly from his minor league career) suggest a drop in offensive production but you can always hope that he is a “late bloomer†and gives the Mets more than we expect.
I agree that he should call a better game since his knowledge of the pitching staff should improve from the time he worked with some of them last year. Unfortunately, with the injuries last year there will still be some pitchers that he will be in the learning mode with this year.

As for the 40 man roster stuff, why would you keep Val or even Jesus Feliciano over Santos? Just because he was not a great catcher even being able to be a backup catcher in the MLB has a lot more value than any of those guys.
GravediggerHebner
2/4/2010-12:09pm at 12:09 pm (UTC -4)
Neither one of those guys is currently on the 40 man roster and I see zero chance of Val ever making it on. Feliciano maybe just because he’s 5th on the CF depth chart after Beltran, Pagan, GMJ and FMart.
ceetar
2/4/2010-12:19pm at 12:19 pm (UTC -4)
yeah, a guy like Feliciano who didn’t even get the callup last year with all the injuries while hitting over .300, probably not going to be used this year either.

Most likely because he has no power (same with Cory Sullivan in like July, also hitting .300) and why they rarely started Reed. Tatis and Sheffield had the hope for power. No word on why they never started Evans who seemed to have power..
GravediggerHebner
2/4/2010-12:26pm at 12:26 pm (UTC -4)
It’s my belief that the organization’s lack of faith in Jesus (Feliciano) is what led to the acquisition of GMJ – they wanted someone as emergency fallback for CF. While Jesus (Feliciano) had intriguing numbers, he is 30 so I agree on not calling him “kid.”

So Bedard to the M’s for $1.5M.
If he does come back mid-season they’ll have a playoff rotation of King Felix, Lee and Bedard. That’s pretty good.
GravediggerHebner
2/4/2010-12:36pm at 12:36 pm (UTC -4)
Based on his own past history, Bedard won’t come back “on time” and will find some minor twinge that will prevent him from helping the Ms when they need him in the post season. It is pretty good on paper, I doubt we’ll see it in reality for too long.
CaseStreet

ah, MC links to a MLBblog site which says a deal might be in the works with a base of 1.5M and a “shipload” of incentives. Pretty shoddy reporting by MC and the MLBblog who doesn’t make that point very clear for guys like MC.
Still, the natives are going crazy
GravediggerHebner
2/4/2010-2:24pm at 2:24 pm (UTC -4)
I guess the natives are only casually familiar with Erik Bedard. Yes he’s quite talented but in addition to his constant injuries of both the very serious and little nagging varieties he’s kind of a nutjob and not in the good way. To me the latter point was what made a huge difference between my interest in Ben Sheets, not a nutjob, and Bedard, a nutjob.
I think I’ve noted this before but I always recall an interview with Brian Roberts about what a “strange bird” Bedard was and how he lived the cliche of “marching to his own drummer.” For the most part active major leaguers don’t personally trash fellow active major leaguers so this candor surprised me quite a bit. As much as I like the idea of a modern day Mark Fidrych on the Mets I’m not sure he’d survive the 21st century media here.
Now if one simply doesn’t think that is a relevant concern, or thinks it’s not even true, then I can’t make them feel the same way about it that I do, but Bedard and I will always be separated by the proverbial 10 foot pole due to his injury history and the way I’ve seen/heard/read his personality portrayed.
stickguy
2/4/2010-12:42pm at 12:42 pm (UTC -4)
At this point, I am all for any incremental changes that can mkae the team better. Even 1-2 wins from a couple of minor moves could be the difference between playoffs and nda.
So, if Rod’s D and power are really an upgrade over Santos, go for it, if he is coming cheap. Hell, same thing with Hudson (I know, I know) if he ends up in the same boat.
If the Mets could guarantee 6-7 million for just 1 year, and have Brajas and Hudson instead of Slappy and Santos, it probably does make them measureably better, and for relative chump change.
Slappy, try and trade him in ST for anything, and if you have to, bite the bullet. He is a sunk cost.
bottom line? They need a SP too, but making these 2 moves for the infield probably helps all the pitchers be better, and that isn’t something to be ignored.

I don’t think they are officially done, even though they might not make another move. Probably gamesmanship to a large degree, combined with value shopping.

I find it difficult to believe that Omar can’t multitask. You have to believe that Omar intentionally gives that appearance to some of the agents for reasons that are not disclosed. Chass, on the other hand, has been a sports reporter for many years and probably has a vast array of sources for information. He cannot reveal those sources since if he did so the information pipeline would dry up. But if a number of sources supply the same or similar information there is reason for pause.

2 Mets snippets from Keith Law’s chat today:
Bernhard Riemann (Gottingen)
Keith, for roughly the price of Gary Matthews Jr., Alex Cora, Fernando Tatis, and Henry Blanco, the Mets could have signed both Garland and Bedard at the base salaries they received from the Padres and Mariners, respectively. Wouldn’t this have improved the consistency, durability and potential upside of their rotation immensely at the approximate cost of a bunch of overpaid, replacement level bench players?
Klaw (2:08 PM)
Yes.

Of course what Keith does not mention is how it may have taken much more money to get Bedard and Garland to come to NY. That they may not have wanted to pitch for the Mets. That the Mets may not have liked them. It also does not take into account the players that would have had to be signed to replace GMJR, Cora, Tatis, and Blanco. Assuming we brought in vets to do that the price would have most likely been about the same. Assuming we brought in minor league scrubs (scary thought when those guys backup guys that have question marks of their own) would have still cost about another 2M. The only one out of that entire list that is overpaid is Cora. I have no idea why teams like the Redsox and Mets are willing to overpay for Cora but fact is they do.

He also ignores the fact that the Mets could have signed all of those bench guys (at the saem price), and also have added Garland and Bedard 9at their prices).
They did have bigger offers out to Pinera and Molina, so the money must have been available.
So maybe the Mets just didn’t feel like having them (or vice versa).
It wasn’t really an either/or situation, but I guess Law was just answering in theory (better to spend $x on one set of players or the other). Without option C, get them all!

Also, my math is confused as usual.
Bedard 1.5 + incentives is the rumored deal.

Question: If Omar doesn’t bring in anyone else, do you feel he have given Molina and Pineiro the two year deals they were asking for?

Would have? Maybe?

OK someone answer this: Has Bedard signed yet? I don’t think he is coming to NY so it does not really matter. However, MLBTR has no contract signed, yet MC has it as a done deal. Usually MLBTR is much more reliable.

Matt’s Blog has this news:
“The Mets have signed infielder Jolbert Cabrera, infielder Luis Hernandez and LHPs Bobby Livingston and Travis Blackley to minor-league contracts and invited all four to Spring Training.
In addition, the team extended invites to RHPs Jenrry Mejia and Carlos Muniz, LHPs Eric Niesen, C Francisco Pena, 1B Ike Davis and SS-2B Ruben Tejada and OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis.”
We may have to revise the Bisons’ roster once again.

any surprises? I figure they need another catcher which is why they invited Pena

No surprises to me.
Pena is probably getting a look because at some point he’ll have to sh*t or get off the pot.

Pena still has 3 years to take a poop, correct?

Yeah, he signed in 2007. He ought to sit under the mango tree with Pedro. Mangos are a good source of fiber.

True, but haven’t they been bringing in some lower prospects every year? As to your signees I guess they could push someone out but there was not a lot of depth at middle IF was there?
