Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran have each been named NL Silver Sluggers...
"Silver Slugger Awards were determined by a vote of MLB managers and coaches who selected the opposing players they felt were the best offensive producers at each position in the American and National Leagues,� explains the report.
...congrats to both the guys, they really do deserve it. Beltran had a comeback year, and Reyes had a breakout year. beautiful combo!...

Glavine files for FA.
Tom Glavine has filed for Free Agency.
This does not mean he will not be a Met next year, and he is still only talking with Atlants and the Mets.
...i have a feeling he will be back with us. just the way he came on at the end of the season, and almost had to carry the team, and he fits in as a player...i just have a feeling he will be back...

2B option...Adam Kennedy?
The Post is reporting that free agent 2B Adam Kennedy has shown interest in the Mets.
"...his agent, Paul Cohen, said he has "definite interest" in the Mets."
...he would only be a two year guy in my opinon.
he's 31 and not a real power guy. (.273, 4 hr, 55 rbi) but i could see him hitting 7 or 8.
he made 9 errors last season, so he is a pretty good fielder.
he also has the sort of 'tough guy/hustle' characteristic like Paul Lo Duca...
so thats an option...

Matsuzaka bids are in...
Bids for Japanese RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka are all in, with the Yankees having the only definite bid.
The Seibu Lions have until Tuesday to announce the "winner" of the bidding process. The winner is then allowed to begin discussions with Matsuzaka and super-agent Scott Boras.
Mets, Rangers, Cubs, and Red Sox were also rumored to have had interest in the pitcher.
...i'm not completely sold that he is worth all this money. he may end up being a great pitcher but spending $20 mil. just to start talking to the guy is a heckuva lot of money. that $20mil could just as easily go to Zito who has a proven record against MLB hitters.
granted Matsuzaka pitched in the WBC and was the MVP of the tourney, he still is unproven in a big market like NY with all the pressures that would come along of spending $20mil + contract...(see Carlos Beltran)
...and we all know our track record with japanese imports...

Adam Kennedy Update
It seems as though the Mets have contacted Adam Kennedy for the 2B job...
...He is 31 years old, a lefty, career .280 hitter...
Kennedy is fairly solid in the field, which is what we really need, more than hitting.
He is also a "scrappy" sort of guy, something along the lines of Adam Eckstein or Joe McEwing...
I could really see him fitting in with the team, and giving Anderson Hernandez time to find his swing...

Glavine close to two year deal...
Adam Rubin says in todays Daily News that Tom Glavine is close to signing a 2 year deal with the Mets.
The deal would be worth around $25 million dollars...
... i'd love to see glavine back, as he seems like a real team player, and pitched fairly well last year. i'm hoping he stays with the mets, and gets his 300 here. so that looks real promising...

....and we're back!
it took some time to collect my thoughts and feelings after game 7...
Since that day...free agent to be Cliff Floyd has undergone surgery on his achillies tendon. His recovery time is seen at 4 months.
...we may not see Cliff back in baseball again...his only chance is probably with the Mets...
...next year boys, next year...
