over Kepp, considering they also really need a RH bat off the bench and insurance for Franchez.. Thought they'd keep Burriss to back up Craw, otherwise why would you keep both Font and Burriss, when they are both below average defenders at SS.. Kepp's bat is far and away better than both Font and Burriss combined, at this point in their careers. And too expensive?! What, Kepp would have gotten about $3.5M in arb and that's too much?!!

    - Seems pretty obvious to me. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-21 13:19:13 (20 views)
    - We're on the same page. I do not get Sabean. He also passed on Josh Willingham who signed for $21 M/3 yrs, but Sabean grabbed Jeremy Affeldt for $10 M/2 yrs. - juan 2011-12-18 14:29:16 (27 views)
    - It's not that much of a mystery. Kepp plays one position, 2nd, with a weak arm. Fontenot is cheaper, and can back up 2nd, SS and 3rd. - starburst 2011-12-18 11:42:39 (22 views)
      - Plus the money, too. - JoeDaddy 2011-12-18 12:44:02 (31 views)
        
        I'm not sure what kind of bumps guys get in arbitration, but without it, it should be less. - juan 2011-12-18 14:01:33 (39 views)
  - Keppinger wasn't going to be all that cheap. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-18 09:20:51 (25 views)
- Hedging their bets. They won't know how well Posey's ankle holds up until spring training and possibly part way into the season. - starburst 2011-12-17 18:33:54 (42 views)

    - I dunno. He didn't acquit himself well at the Mets. Didn't work hard, refused to pinch hit. According to this, anyway. - starburst 2011-12-18 08:05:03 (47 views)
      - sounds eerily similar to some of the negative shots the Mets media took at Pagan on his way out - JoeDaddy 2011-12-18 12:49:36 (35 views)
        
        Yeah, but that's true for anything. Here is the review of the catching situation for the Mets from the McCovey Chronicles' sister site. - starburst 2011-12-18 14:22:59 (35 views)
      - Oh ok..didn't know that. If that happened I would pass - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-12-18 11:26:03 (23 views)
        
        It's always tough to tell. I don't have MLB network and don't see some of those E. coast or AL teams that much. - starburst 2011-12-18 11:44:34 (19 views)

  - Seriously....$$$ 600,000 ??? - holymoly 2011-12-17 17:35:37 (33 views)
    - sabean gave him a major league deal smh - DJ 2011-12-17 18:04:56 (61 views)
      - Well, yes and no. $600 k if he makes the SF club. $175 k if he's in the minors. - starburst 2011-12-18 11:45:33 (28 views)
        
        he's dead weight on the 40 man roster - DJ 2011-12-18 17:27:20 (30 views)
      - Atleast it's only $600K, they can drop him anytime. Sabean laughs at 600k. - JSlice 2011-12-18 01:25:52 (20 views)
      - Yeah. That is just terrible - The Dude 2011-12-18 00:52:02 (29 views)
  - oh good..now we don't have to sign beltran.... - skontch 2011-12-17 17:14:24 (29 views)
    - It's a team sport. Bullpen catcher is just as important as a decent cleanup hitter. - nuschler 2011-12-17 17:25:40 (27 views)
