Checking In

Hey team, Glass Man here. Sorry for the lack of posts this week. This is perhaps the busiest week of the year for my group, and it's left me with woefully little time to devote to the site.

We'll be back to normal next week, but I'm gonna have to leave you all hanging until Monday. A few quick hits first:

1. World Baseball Classic -- I'm a fan. Gives me the chance to look forward to baseball a month early.

2. Freddy Garcia -- Mets inked him to a one-year deal. Why not?

3. Manny Ramirez -- Is there any good reason we're not pursuing him? Somebody help me out here.

That's all I got. More next week.

1. WBC. I'm not a fan necessarily, but I don't dislike it either, and I think the injury argument is fair. It reflects players as simply tools to be used by their employer and unable to play the game because they enjoy.

2. Yeah, why not? Minor league deal too wasn't it?

3. The main reason is that he's expensive and the Mets don't need him. More offense is always nice, but the Mets shouldn't spend money just because they can. Keep it reasonable, and it gives greater flexibility in the future.

WBC i like it so far.
Manny makes me nervous.
Garcia deal makes sense too..i want to go into spring training with 5,6 arms battling for 2 spots... injuries will shut down 1or 2 of them then pick from the best available
Dan Murphy, tatis and ANgel Pagan should be able to hold down LF.
