That's a solid producer for a no glove no run DH type, but that's not eye-popping. The league is always filled with Matt Stairs, Jack Cust type guys who would probably hit .250 with 30 homers and a bunch of walks if you gave them a starting job - you sign a Burrell because you want a 100% chance of that production. I wouldn't mind if the Mets paid that money - money is something we have, and as a franchise we're just not good at dealing with risk. And Beltran can make up for some of Pat's terrible range, I guess. But most teams outside of the New Yorks and Bostons won't pay big money for that when they can just gamble on a Matt Stairs.

He was probably just being nice and cordial, and that's a bad thing now? Two things are evident here, people take sports way too seriously, AND, people take themselves way too seriously. i’m not saying I want Burrell on my team, but someone refusing to shake his hand simply because he said he wouldn’t mind playing at Citifiield?
