He pretty much stinks and has always stunk. No BA, No power, No OBP. He's essentially Mike Difelice. If the Mets are serious about this, it makes me seriously question their judgement.

Three years of Yorvit Torrealba, the newest New York Met. See ya Paulie, it was nice while it lasted. Well, it’s a done deal. Three years of Yorvit Torrealba, the newest New York Met.

At least he can hit and is an emotional leader on the team. This will be a lifeless team without him. Paul wants to be back and will have the hunger and drive to bounce back from this season's collapse. As far as I'm concerned, just offering Torreabla 5 million per year is terms for termination of Minaya. It's really pathetic what this team is doing. I don't get it.

Unless Omar ignores any evidence that his arm/shoulder may have health issues that are seriously impacting his game, then I'm not worried. So I'm going to assume that if they sign him, then there isn't a chronic health issue. If there is and they are aware of it and still sign him and he can't throw, then Omar should be fired.

In 2006, he threw out 40+ percent of baserunners and finished just a hair behind Yadier Molina, who led the league in CS%. He had similar numbers in 2005. But in 2007, he suddenly threw out a career low 19 percent. If we're getting one of the two premier defensive catchers in the NL, then, yeah - that guy could be worth three guaranteed years. If we're getting a guy who hits like Ausmus but throws like Piazza, no way. The real question is: is his arm healthy?
