Yes, they are the same. The Mets traded Angel Pagan for Angel Pagan and a reliever.

Pagan is better, but not by a ton. Younger too. I think SF wins that particular trade.

Long live Omar. He's basically immovable.

Well, I made it look more pleasant on the eyes. He has an option for 2014 as well.

2014 vesting option details: 600 plate appearances in 2013 or 500 plate appearances in both the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

2014 salary: $17 million (or $3 million buyout).

I was thinking of about Cespedes 2. Use some of that Reyes offer money.

WHAT THE FUCK DO WE NEED FRANK FRANCISCO FOR

 

[Maxim726X]

Mets sign Frank Fransisco to a 2 year deal.

Damn Sandy's been busy tonight.

Throw some kids out there, I don't care. Dude's old and we aren't going anywhere in 2 years.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Francisco will close. Rauch will set up.

I'm... Okay with that. Fransisco isn't a world beater but he's been solid.

sorry i meant the mets

 

[darkside31337]

So the Mets really did just blow the entire budget for the offseason on a bunch of relievers.

If they sign

, keep, and win with

players like Pujols, then I'm sure it'll be longer than that.

Francisco gets 2 years 12M.

And the Pujols mystery team might be the Cubs?

Not really. Rausch, Ramirez, and Torres all make what Pagan would have.

Can't imagine Fransisco is going to break the bank, either.

 

[clemenx]

6M for a closer while we suck, awesome!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Wat r we suppose to do, use it on Pujols?

 

[Maxim726X]

Just 6 million/year. Could do worse.

And only 2 years. They had to get a closer.

 

[The Frankman]

Andres Torres is 34 years old, and this should tell you how Terry Collins didn't want Pagan on his team. Bottom line, Pagan is a knucklehead.

As for Ramirez, Mets have wanted to revamp their pen for awhile. It's a decent move.

Rauch? I like Rauch.

Wait, they got Frank Francisco too?

 

[darkside31337]

Save up all the pennies in the couch for Cole Hamels. Invest it in scouting. Re-sign all the Mets worth keeping for the long term.

 

[Lambtron]

And here comes Frankman, endless fountain of Mest optimism. That must be rough.

 

[clemenx]

I was fine with just Rauch and the trade. I'm sure we can find some random dude on the minors to have a good season, don't get Francisco.

Oh well, maybe Sandy can ship them relievers at the deadline for prospects.

 

[The Frankman]

And here comes Frankman, endless fountain of Mest optimism. That must be rough.

We all can't be beaten down into the dirt like you are. If I can't show any hope in the offseason, it's time to pack it up.

Can't wait to watch Torres play, hopefully he leads off.

 

[Sanjuro]

Looks like Ortiz is taking the arbitration. 1/16.

 

[The Frankman]

Can't wait to watch Torres play, hopefully he leads off.

I like Torres only because it means Pagan is gone and Torres finally won't hit vs. the Mets. That dude had some big hits vs. the Mets. Ramirez has always had talent, but something keeps holding him back from being real good.

EDIT: wrong Ramirez.

 

[Ondore]

Did Sandy stop watching every Jays game after the 7th this year so he could answer calls to 888-BATSNOW? 'Cause Rauch and Francisco were utter shit for most of the year.

Change o' scenery. Bottom line, you hope the change of league will help.

I'm hearing from Burkhardt on Mets Hot Stove Mets are NOT calling Francisco the closer, it's going to be a open competition in Spring Training.

Francisco had a 1.37 ERA after the All-Star Break.

Burkhardt also said that either Sandy or Collins did not want Pagan on the team. Seems like his attitude was too much.

Remember when Terry had to bring him in the office around August-September and talk with him? That was the last straw I'm hearing. Plus the constant fuckups... remember, most of us wanted to flip Pagan LAST year off his career season.

Once thing Torres brings you is he's more a true leadoff hitter in terms of patience at the dish.

HAHAHA

What a fucking relief, my palms were sweaty every time he came up.

Edit: Now you get to watch him not hit while he's with the Mets.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Pirates and Nate McLouth have agreed on a one-year deal.

 

[The Frankman]

Edit: Now you get to watch him not hit while he's with the Mets.

... dammit, LJ11. Would you rather see Pagan's fuckups?

I'll be waiting for the "I'm Coming Home" Nate McLouth mix.

LOOOOOOOOL CAJOOOOOOLE

 

[darkside31337]

Among Ps with 250 Gs since 2008, Ramon Ramirez’s 2.77 ERA is 6th in MLB behind Rivera, Bell, K-Rod, Papelbon, Valverde

You know I'm not really sure why he's so underrated. He's the best player involved in the deal but nobody is talking about the poor guy.

(side note: Ps with 250 Gs sounds like an awesome rap song title)

According to MLB-GAF the players in bold are dogshit.

 

[LJ11]

It's all about the reliever anyway, he'll get to come in and hold a 4 run deficit, fine with me.

Nah, dogshit would be the end of the Jays pen last year.

GodDAMN Kevin Burkhardt is shitting on Angel Pagan right now. Holy crap.

Wasn't his fault!
