ESPN is reporting that Hidalgo has been traded to the Mets for Weathers, although apparently the Mets are denying this.
What's up with Hidalgo this year? He broke out to begin the season by leading the NL in RBIs for a few weeks; since then he can't buy a hit. It's especially weird given that he's in a walk-year. His last walk-year was that monster .314, 44 homer season.
Any thoughts on whether he'll break out with the Mets? I tend to think that he will - while he may not be the player that hit 44 homers with 120+ rbis and a .314 average, I certainly think he's a lot better than the way he's playing now. If he was going to the Yanks then I'd question whether he could handle the NY media, but since he's playing for the Mets I don't think there will be quite bright of a spotlight on him. Here's hoping he goes nuts....Let's Go Mets!!!
