Coste: I will Always Consider Myself a Phillie
Last night, the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead said the Mets signed free-agent C Chris Coste.
In an interview with CSN in Philadelphia, Coste said of signing with the Mets:
“It’s the last team I ever saw myself playing for. I knew I was going to accept it, but had to think about it for a few days… It wasn’t my choice to leave Philly… I never wanted to leave Philadelphia, I will always consider myself a Phillie.”
…why, why would someone do this to themselves…
…just like it’s not smart to talk endlessly about your ex-girlfriend while on a date with a new girl, this too is a huge, huge mistake…
…nice job, chris… welcome to new york…
Coste hit .224 in 88 games with the Phillies and Astros last season, during which he played 15 games at first base.
Speaking of Coste, Zach Sanders of Fan Graphs takes a statistical-look at Coste and Alex Cora, who the Mets also signed yesterday to a one-year, $2 million deal.
