    Mets Bring Bret Boone in for ST

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2280331

    If this guy can recapture some of that offense, could be a good move. It's a no lose proposition. Maybe he'll push Kaz to finally show up...

    I found his sudden power spike to be really "interesting".

    It has also been reported he had tons of acne all of his back doing the career season.

    He's a decent guy though. He did a lot of charity work in Seattle. He cried when he was released from the Mariners.

      Fans loved him here in Seattle for his great defense and solid bat. I was never a huge fan, but he produced, and he has heart.

          By his numbers, it would appear unlikely.

              Kaz is a bust, this isn't going to "push him to show up."

              As for Boone, he's done. I'd be shocked if he makes the team. He couldn't even stick with the Twins last year and they really needed offense.

                2004 - 24 hrs 83 rbis

                then comes the steriod issue

                2005 - 7 hrs 37 rbis..

                also he was about a .260 + hitter those prior years.. in 2005, just .221

                something to me makes me very skeptical about Boone..

                    Boone is done, the Twins needed a 2b last year badly and they even cut him in a few weeks.

                    Not a bad move though, Omar likes to bring in leftovers for spring training, there is really no risk. Last year he brought in guys like Roberto Hernandez, Chris Woodward, Marlon Anderson, and they seemed to work so why not. I wouldn't be surprised if he brings in Sammy too.

                      We signed the cat to a minor league deal. We are talking high 5 figures, low 6 figures here fellas. No need to jump on the guy.

                          Although he hasn't been stated in this thread, I find it amazing to even think that at one point a couple of years ago the Padres were thinking of signing Kaz Matsui giving Khalil Greene more time in the minors.

                              Minaya, when asked about the Boone signing, said.. "hey, we needed a juice machine next to the hot dog stand"..
