  3. supermannino says:

    That’s a joke, right?

  4. mrosey says:

    I can’t wait for the Mets to turn on the hot stove.

  5. Capt_Draino says:

    Are these guys non-tender guys? Cause I am waiting on news from that front…

  6. Ryn5 says:

    Wait,

    ANOTHER C NAMED MOLINA?

  7. Steve In Tampa says:

    Casanova is not a bad pick up. I watched him here in Tampa and was surprised when the Rays let him go. He could be a Castro type back-up, not a bad idea to keep him in AAA in case someone goes down

  8. the word latiin(with 1 i) is prohibited from this site. my previous cooment was never displayed…so here it goes again:

    is molina a common latiin last name or are all these molinas in baseball related?

    Out of some of the bullpen guys Matt posted earlier that were non-tendered .. I think Kiko Calero and Ryan Wagner head that list. I wouldn’t mind taking a look into them if I were Omar. Middle relievers are so unpredictable from year to year that the best way to make a pen is to evaluate purely on their “stuff” rather than just numbers. The more bullpen guys brought into camp to access, the better.

    Raul, Gustavo AND…. Aww. Nate.

  11. gottabelieve07 says:

    Thank God for these moves. We have a serious shortage of catchers, and catcher related moves this offseason.

    The incompetent Minaya continues to bumble and embarrass us.

  14. KinersKornerman says:

    Did somebody get Omar for Chritmas a “catcher of the month” club membership? This is wierd.

  15. skip says:

    I cannot see any moves until after “The List” comes out tomorrow at 2PM.

  16. tonylett says:

    Nate Field is the grandson of Abbott and Costello’s landlord.

    I concur with the original post…enough with these hot stove rumors (especially from ESPN, they are the worst)…..and wacko deals that are one sided that I see hear and hear on the FAN.

  18. CaseStreet says:

    Someone’s gotta replace DiFelice and Alomar Jr., especially with Estrada non-tendered
