Lo Duca To The YanksMets

Mets冬季繼續Yankees化,他們除了Lastings Milledge以外的所有prospects幾乎通通交易到其他地方去了,繼與Marlins換得Carlos Delgado之後,現在又把捕手Paulie換了過去。

妙的是兩個Dodgers前捕手Mike Piazza、Paul Lo Duca通通先後跑Mets去了。從薪水與表現看來,或許當年Dodgers將Piazza與Lo Duca放走都是相當優秀的交易。

Mets這個冬天的擴充軍備行為已經有點像往年的Yankees了,但為何他們會捨FA另兩位大物級捕手:以防守、阻殺聞名,去年打擊打出career year的Bengie Molina(31歲,以下均下一季年齡)與攻守都相當優異的Ramon Hernandez(30),反而選擇交易較年長,打擊一向先盛後衰,守備有些退化的Paul Lo Duca(34)?

今年季後成為FA的老Dodgers Piazza,一般則認為應會轉往美聯擔任DH/C的工作。

I don't know what kind of fat contract Molina or Hernandez will demand and get, but Paulie cost 6.25M per year and only two years left on the contract. This might be the reason.

I just heard a rumor that the Mets would aquire Javier Vazquez with Paulie & Anna Benson......Sorry, Kris Benson and his hot wife.

I've got convinced that the Mets' payroll has no limit.

Now it seems more reasonable.
