Jason Bay to the mets 4 years 66 million

Rich Boy · 12-30-09, 01:31 AM

Solid player, no off the field BS, good Canadian kid...

Glad to see him get paid what he deserves...

Trojan · 12-30-09, 01:32 AM

He'll hit .250 and be lucky to get 25 homers playing in that shit hole park. Good for him, he got paid a ton. Bad deal for the Mets

Come on man!

lakerboy · 12-30-09, 01:35 AM

Mets are a curse but that guy is a pros pro

beerman2619 · 12-30-09, 01:35 AM

Bay playing for a winner? I thought he went to the mets and damn that club is not winners ha.

Tilt360 · 12-30-09, 01:36 AM

very bad deals for the mets. Jason Bay is a good play but doesnt not deserve that type of money.

Chi_archie · 12-30-09, 01:38 AM

maybe one of the worst arms in leftfield in the majors, a bit injury prone, strikes out too much.... good guy though

was happy to see him get a shot at postseason play with the bosox, i'm sure he'll be in the pennant chase this year. with a healthy Beltran, Wright, Reyes, and Bay the mets will have a pretty decent year

Bay played huge early but was so pedestrian when it counted for us (the Sox), seems to fit into the Mets profile all too well. Enjoy that guys.

really? based on 3 games? did you forget the year before where he hit well over .300 with like a 1.100 ops

Chi_archie · 12-30-09, 01:50 AM

they might want to consider moving him to first base, he will be a huge liability in a spacious right field

beerman2619 · 12-30-09, 01:52 AM

Mets just keep overpaying for guys past there prime. There pitching staff is still a mess along with there bullpen. Look for the mets to finish 4th in the nl east behind phillies, braves, and Marlins.

ryanspeer2001 · 12-30-09, 01:52 AM

Just another met that will be on IR all next season.....I hope.

Standards for clutch performances are high in Beantown Chi, espesh since we r used to the sterroid infused dynamic duo, if u will.

Shortstop · 12-30-09, 05:39 AM

Not bad for a good white guy who can't throw and strikes out a lot...

Mr KLC · 12-30-09, 07:58 AM

There will be a lot of 12-11 games in New York this year if the Mets lineup stays healthy.

Soxsfan9 · 12-30-09, 09:28 AM

Shortstop nailed this guy, he watches WAY to many 3rd strikes and will get exposed for not having an arm. Average ball player at best he does not deserve this money

jellobiafra · 12-30-09, 09:43 AM

Hope he enjoys hitting 12 HR's next year. Jason, you should have asked D Wright how he likes hitting in Citi Field.

Regul8er · 12-30-09, 09:43 AM

I was hoping the Jays would wrap up the Canadian......ya right, Toronto open their not wallets, not likely.

jjgold · 12-30-09, 09:48 AM

He will do ok but not a dominant player in that ballpark.

R3Sports · 12-30-09, 10:25 AM

I like it, I like it..

rjt721 · 12-30-09, 11:32 AM

Nice player, although he has his flaws, and they did overpay to get him.

Mets need arms more than anything, but not really anyone worth spending their money on, unless they want to take a shot on Chapman, who probably won't help much in 2010.

At least they didn't use this money on Pineiro. That would have been ugly.

You are forgetting Johnny Daemon. Not to mention i hold my breath every time he looks up... TWO HANDS JOHNNY, TWO HANDS!!!

Chi_archie · 12-30-09, 02:39 PM

this was a signing of a GM that needed to make a big splash now.... he doesn't care that they'll be on the hook for all that money in 2012 and 2013 when Bay is hitting .250 with 15 hr's.

Especially when you consider that Omar will be gone by then anyway, he REALLY doesn't care!

jgiun1 · 12-30-09, 03:01 PM

Nothing beats the money Brian Giles earned after the Pirates traded his ass to SD for Bay. Giles production was actually funny for the type of money they gave him. The Met's can afford to overpay for a decent OF with Bay, but with a small market team like the Padres, they got the Giles SHAFT. Whats funny is, the Mets got both players the Pirates got for Giles.

Jshap1515 · 12-30-09, 05:15 PM

He thrived in Boston. Cant believe he ran away

nynysports · 12-30-09, 07:24 PM

go jets

tltaylor89 · 12-30-09, 08:27 PM

Very spotty hitter

tullamore · 12-30-09, 08:37 PM

Had a great start to last season, but rally tailed off in August and September. Nice player, but will be interesting to see his power numbers playing in Citi Field?

Ace_of_Spades · 12-30-09, 11:46 PM

Carlos Zambrano could be headed our way in a trade. Cubs seem to want to trade for Castillo, and a prospect(s), namely Martinez.

Decrease DRASTICALLY

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-31-09, 05:29 AM

He'll be a factor in some home wins and some overs and some mets runlines. I like it.

Ace_of_Spades · 12-31-09, 06:09 AM

It was a signing that needed to be made.
