Steve Register was cleared waivers, according to Adam Rubin and his blog for the Daily News.
For more on Register’s future, read Rubin.
…as noted the other day, because he is a Rule V pick, register must now be offered back to the Rockies for $25,000…in all likelihood, colorado will welcome him home and then try to trade him back to the Mets…
seriously, the graphics are priceless
PRICEless… REGISTER…
Wacka wacka wacka….
Ron Darling to do Atlanta games on Sundays??!?!?!?! WTF?!?!
(as per rubin’s blog)
TBS is doing MLB games on Sunday’s now. I thought the same thing about Darling, but they are doing all MLB teams.
I feel much better now.
For you Islander fans, it’s like their color guy Billy Jaffe doing Hockey games on Versus.
Thanks.
well of course that first Sunday game is Dodgers at Braves
The mets placed Reuben Gotay on waivers…ugh. I knew we should have kept Keppinger…what…?
Are you drunk?
Who isn’t?
Dude… Bananagrabber?
That’s hysterical.
I think these 2 moves should be grouped with the Henry Owens/Matt Lindstrom/Heath Bell/Brian Bannister variety rather than the Jose Valentin/John Maine/Ollie Perez/Marlon Anderson variety
At least the Gotay move.. Fernando Taties…please
lets wait until Gotay is actually lost for nothing before ripping it? He could end up in New Orleans playing everyday which wouldnt be the worst thing for Gotay or the Mets.
Seriously- I can’t read all this crying over Gotay anymore. I liked him and I feel bad for him because of the situation but its the best move for the Mets right now. They need someone who can hit against lefties. Right now off the bench we have Easly aaaaand…
And do we really think Gotay has a huge role in this teams future? He’s a back-up second baseman- we’ll find another.
The best thing for him is probably to wind up on another team where he’ll have a chance to play more often. Hopefully someone shows interest and the Mets can work out a trade.
The Rockies traded a player to the Royals for a player to be named layer. This clears room on the 40 man roster for them to take Register back and send him to the minors.
The Mets and rockies can still work out a trade for Register. If Register is traded to the mets then he does not have to stay on the Major League roster all year.
Yeah, I hope they can keep him. I’m kinda confused over why they would keep Smith or Stokes up and not him…
Probably because Register has no Major League experience. But of course if nobody gives him major league experience, he’ll never have major league experience.
It’s just tough to have to commit to him being on the active roster all season.
Who cares? You’d think we were losing someone noteworthy. We’re returning a middling middle reliever, one that can be replaced by any number of carbon-based life forms we’ll stockpile in New Orleans. Juan Rincon, Tony Armas, Jr., etc., etc…..
yea who cares hes just a middle reliever, i mean would we have been any better last year if we had lindstrom bell and owens in our system…..oh wait
Lindstrom, Bell, and Owens all had minor-league success. Steven Register has nothing to show for his minor league career except the illusion of 37 saves last year (with a 4.03 ERA).
Think before you type, smart guy.
Ooooooo 37 saves just an illusion. It only led all levels of the minors in saves. Seems to be a significant number to me, especially when he’s young and is projected to be a closer in the near future. Thats why most of us want to keep him, in hopes of him being our future closer. But of course you’re the expert. It’s more important to keep those carbon-based lifeforms with no future over a young pitcher with potential and a future. All I can say is you have a lot of nerve telling anyone to think before they type.
The Mets have to get this kid. Smith and Stokes are not for the bullpen. Smith needs more work in AAA and Stokes is still the Stokes of last year. Register offers insurance for the bullpen. I like his stuff.
Has anyone else thought about the fact that he could go back to Colorado with some very valuble information? Or am i just paranoid? The later I think.
Really? You think he’s a spy?
this isnt football the guy doesnt have a playbook. whats he going to tell the rockies? “they have this guy named santana hes pretty good, we def will need to use more righties against him”.
You’re worried about what Register might say to a team in a different division after 1 spring?
How about what Glavine might tell the Braves?
But hey guess what… I don’t think that’s gonna make any difference either.
What’s he going to say? “psst… guys, come here… over in mets camp, they have some crazy yoda speaking, mullet wearing weirdo running around in a jacket telling people to throw strikes and not to put ketchup on their ice cream .”
What kind of info? Doesn’t anyone who gets traded have that info?
What is this with Darling going on TBS for Sundays? He’s the best of the trio. How dare they try to steal him.
He did the playoff games on TBS, I guess they liked him enough to use him for their new national TV telecasts
He is an Emmy-winning color-guy after all.
damn whenever players go through a abd year most people just give up on them. Does anyone remember how good smith was last year, and he pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings today.
The first 2/3 was a bit hairy… a hit, a walk and a HBP to force in OP’s last ER. So technically scoreless, but not the way to force one’s self onto the team.
I like the kid though, he still has the potential to be a very useful reliever.
Yeah, 12/3 “scoreless” Middle relievers have to be judged a bit on inherited runners scored, and in that regard, Smith does not hold up well to scrutiny.
Hmmm…Register clears waivers, Rockies take him back. Gotay clears waivers. Mets trade Gotay for Register. That will be what’s done. Book it. ;-)
