Damn...on the DL already and he hasn't even finallized the deal. :r :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That is the rumor that is being reported in the Boston media.
The Mets were the only offer he had, that ball park is not a home run hitters park.
Now that the market is set it will be interesting were Holliday goes.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Citifield is a real bad place for him. This is where the greed shows and hurts a player long term. He could have stayed in Boston in a ballpark that is perfect for him. Nice and small with a shallow LF which would prolong his career in the field. Instead he tries to go for more money and winds up in a bad place (no offense Mac).

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

You hit the nail on the head Ryan, that is the same deal Boston offered him.
He will be sucking wind if don't pass the physical.
Yes he will get a contract with a lot of escape clauses for the Mets ?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I really think there is going to be a huge drop in power numbers for him in 2010 with the Mets. Also he needs at least 1 trip to the DL. He is a Met. :r

Mark my words...they bring the fences in at Citifield in the next year.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Bay is 10,000,000 reasons why it'd make really good sense for 2010. :)
He's a good kid. I'm surprised Boston didn't try to keep him. They obviously know his health a little better than the Mets. They didn't hang on to Johnny Damon, either. Same scenario.
Boston got the best for their money with both ballplayers and cut them loose when the time was right.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Red Sox wanted Bay back but they would not play the game. Same thing with Damon and the Yankees. Yankees made their offer Damon said no Yankees moved on.
