MLB.com reports that Mets are expected to release Oliver Perez. :tu :tu

Fingers are crossed :noon

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

It's official...and about damn time!!

Divorce becomes final: Mets release Perez

:wo :wo :wo :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

And on another note...the Phillies have signed Luis Castillo to a minor league deal. Let me know how that works out for ya. :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

My guess is a 320 BA, 410 OB%, 35 steals :sh

:r :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Dom...you must be smoking crack!! :sl

And how many errors will he have?

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

you're right Mac.........20SB ;) :r

Castillio hated it here, I think he's a good ballplayer who will be motivated to perform.
The numbers I listed are unrealistic but 300, 375, 20 with 100 runs scored isn't out of the realm of possibility. :2

Castillio was the Mets best player in 09, and no one cared because he dropped a pop-up!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Best player on the Mets..... not sayin much :=:

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Heard it earlier today. First thing I thought of was this thread! :r Never liked the guy...but being a Met and Marlin, who would? :) We'll see how this plays out. Amaro said he'll either make the major league roster or be released. Wouldn't surprise me if it was the latter..

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Hardly the best player on the '09 team...David Wright held those honors. He had some good years and I believe he WAS a good ballplayer. He has lost his range, his wheels aren't what they used to be, nor is his bat, and I believe NY fans got in his head. He may perform better in a smaller market (not sure Philly is that market).

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

In 09 Wright had 10 HR and 74 Rbi and batted cleanup most of the year.......not sure how that qualifies him as the Mets best player ............ if it does, it says more about the Mets than I can ever post here :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Yes, his power #s weren't great...but he hit .307, had 27SBs, .950 fielding pct (not so great) and established himself as the Mets leader. He had a SOLID year. Better numbers than Castillo. True he batted clean-up...in a very soft hitting lineup. Most RBIs, next closest was Daniel Murphy with 63 and Beltran with 48. Come on man!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

hahahaha.....also funny....and no Ollie this year?....Damn, there goes some good fodder....might have to "think" a bit in Mets chat....

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Jumping with joy. Already this year is off to a great start, can only go up from here. Mets are predicted to be bottom dwellers so maybe releasing some dead weight will o ly help them off the ground.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Hard to get off the ground when your season is below it :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Oooohhh that ain't right:sl

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

That is as wrong as two boys in bed!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
