Barajas to Dodgers

On Sunday, Rod Barajas was acquired off waivers by the Dodgers. Therefore, Josh Thole will be their starting catcher. What was the point of this move? Josh Thole is much younger than Barajas, and also gets lots of clutch hits. Henry Blanco is the back-up catcher because he's good at catching Dickey's knuckle ball.

  1. well, saying that Barajas is getting paid alot of money, and he's not playing much, why should the mets pay him so much money if he's only playing 1 game every 2 weeks. enjoy the game. anonymous.

  2. Well, it's now safe to say that the season is officially over. When all of the commentators were saying last week that the Mets need a sweep in Atlanta, I don't believe that this is what they had in mind. So, NJMetFan, what should be done in the off-season to prevent a repeat of this season's debacle (and, for that matter, the debacles of the 3 season prior to this one)?

  3. RE: In 2012, Albert Pujols is becoming a free agent. I would be nice if the Mets could get him. (saying what Wilpon so far has done, it doesn't look like they'll get Pujols.). Because there not making the postseason, they should already look into free agents, and sign a deal with a superstar before anyone else.

  7. Why should the mets wait until 2012? Mabye they should do a sign-and-trade with Manny. Or, they should trade Frankie for a 2nd baseman and use Parnell as the closer. anonymous.
