Mets get their MEN! Giants get a good break.

Tuesday afternoon the New York Mets signed the big power man from the Boston Red Sox, Jason Bay. Bay in 2009 had a good year batting .267, 36 homeruns, and 119 RBI's. Bay signed a 4 year deal worth $66 million dollars. Also last week the New York Mets rapped up starting pitching/relief pitcher Kelvim Escobar from the Angels. In 09 Escobar wasn't that good, his ERA was 3.60, 0 wins, 1 lose, and 5 strikeouts. He signed a 1 year deal. How will both this guys pen out for the Mets?

Well I think Jason Bay going to Mets is a great move. After the Mets having a horrible season last year, he is what they need in the outfield and he knows how to win. Also batting in the 3 or 4 hole before or after Beltran in the line-up will help the Met outs with power. Also it’s a big time threat in the NL. After being in the NL than moving over to the AL and now coming back to the NL and playing for a pretty good team, that just makes its harder for opposing pitchers in the national league. So this is a great move. As for Escobar, well it depends what player shows up. Will it be the Escobar that was so good 2 years ago or will it be the pitcher who doesn’t have it? Plus the Mets have to see if he will be a starter or relief pitcher. These are just questions that will have to be answered during spring training or during the 2010 season.

Today around 4:00 p.m. the San Francisco Giants signed free agent third basemen Mark DeRosa for 2 years worth 12 million dollars. DeRosa who came over from the Cardinals in 2009 batted .250, 23 homeruns, and 78 RBI's. Was this a good move for the Giants? This move was indeed a good one. Mark DeRosa is probably the most underrated third basemen in the league. He may not be the best but he knows how to play the game the right way. He also could be the guy they could use in the Giants line-up along with Pablo Sandoval, Freddy Sanchez, and Aaron Rowand. I also think this year the Giants with win the NL West Division only if the pitching holds up and everyone stays healthy for the most part of the year.

This is beyond big news, this is Beyond Baseball.
