Um, no comment?Ex-Mets: Church, Pirates nearing deal
Free-agent Ryan Church and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in talks for a deal, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Church appears to fit the Pirates' profile for their primary position-player need, in that they seek a reserve outfielder capable of stepping into everyday duty if needed: Church, a left-handed batter, is versatile, sound defensively, and his career splits -- he bats .280 vs. right-handed pitchers, .248 vs. left-handers, with 43 of his 51 home runs, -- probably would work best in a platoon or bench role.
I know Church was (is?) something of a fan-favorite around these parts, so thought I’d pass it along.

‘I Hate the Mets the Most’ [Video]
My favorite line: “Heck yes, we miss Francoeur”
Still, I’d prefer these guys to Kuff and the Buttheads every day of the week.

Mets claim Jay Marshall off waivers
According to various reports, the Mets have claimed Jay Marshall, a lefthand pitcher, off waivers from Oakland. As you can tell by this photo, Marshall is a sidearm pitcher, dropping his arm below his shoulder. See other photos here.
Marshall, 26, went 0-2 in 7 1-3 innings last season with Oakland. He posted a 14.73 ERA and 1.773 WHIP. He struck out one, walked none and surrendered one home run.
In 50 2-3 innings in Triple-A last season, he posted a 3.20 ERA and 1.342 WHIP. He struck out 30 and walked 15.
Enjoy Buffalo, Jay.
Also, he has a beard.
