As fellow author Kingman and I were discussing in the comment section, I understand the need for Bourn.  It would certainly fill a need on a team that has a bunch of question marks in the OF and would end the debate of who leads off and if the Met will go with 3 platoons …

Casper NewFeat_Image

According to MLBTR: Casper Wells has turned into something of an afterthought on the Mariners roster and could become trade bait if the M’s were to add another outfielder like Bourn, writesGeoff Baker of the Seattle Times.  Wells struggled when given regular at-bats last season and Baker wonders if the club has given up on the player who …

Amazin’! Mets owners refi $450M in loans “While the financial terms could not be learned, some of the proceeds are expected to go toward funding the cash-strapped team’s day-to-day operations.” I have no idea what to think about the Mets financial situation anymore.  Is it better or worse?  Is this a good sign that the …
