SANTOS FEVER ACROSS BASEBALL
Omir Santos hit an in-the-park grand slam and while I many feel he's more suited to be a back-up, I feel in love with him last year. The opinions:
Mine: Santos provided the Mets with the moment of the year last season in Boston, and was great behind the plate, as the Mets won more games, per capata, with him catching, than any other fellow.
Ed Ryan says: "...it still needs to be asked why he was catching Ollie today. I thought the concept of acquiring two new catchers was to focus on defense and handling the staff, when ever anyone bashes the BA's of Barajas or Blanco the answer immediately is in regard to non-offensive assets. So why in the first outing of spring training, for the most fragile pitcher, is the guy they worked so hard to replace, catching. I have nothing against Omir but they basically blamed him for all the teams pitching woes so how is he catching Ollie today. No, these games have no meaning but wouldn't you think they would want Barajas or Blanco working with him, building a relationship and getting him off to a fast start."
Matt Pignataro reports BREAKING NEWS on his twitter that According to sources, #Rangers and #Orioles both "very interested" in #Mets Omir Santos.
