Note: Mets and Fernando Tatis
Zach Links, in a post for MLB Trade Rumors, wonders if the Mets should consider bringing Fernando Tatis back in 2010, or look elsewhere for a versatile veteran.
…Tatis was a great story in 2008, and the Mets suffered badly when he injured his shoulder down the stretch that season…he did come back down to earth this past season and hit into way too many double plays…of course, he was depended upon to be a starter when he is probably no better than a role player or utility player at this point in his career, so i don’t fault Tatis, nor do i fault many of the Mets who were asked to be something they weren’t in 2009…
…i think the Mets should bring back Tatis…he has done everything he was asked to do over the past two seasons, and for the most part, he did a great job for them…he would be a great role or backup player at many positions and despite his age, there aren’t many players that are as versatile as Tatis…
Tatis hit .282 with eight home runs and 48 RBI in 340 at bats in 2009, and hit .297 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI in 2008 in 306 at bats.
