Hope they can replace him

I wonder if this will turn out to be a good deal for the Giants.

I spent the first day of the year watching the Phillies 2008 game 5 World Series win. What a team that was! I'm sure this thread will continue on through the championship year.

Keith Law
says this
makes the Mets an NL favorite in 08, with a guaranteed minimum 5 win*
improvement for the team from Queens.

Some regular poster got quoted in the
Beerleaguer
thread here saying maybe the Mets are gloating prematurely (again).

*Spoiler alert: Only off by 4 wins, and one playoff berth

I remember some people on other forums being excited about this signing not so much for him coming in but for his wife Anna coming in tow. Turns out, sounds like she is pretty much a psycho.

She was ahead of her time, as far as our social media and reality TV era. She was troubled to say the least, and he probably was too.
