Happy Holidays to everyone….

With all of the excitement about the bullpen upgrades of the past 2 weeks,(K Rod signing,Putz trade) I failed to mention the minor trade of LH relief specialist Scott Schoeneweis(and cash) to the Arizona Diamondbacks for relief prospect Connor Robertson.

In the news of the week, Mets star 3b David Wright committed to playing in the 2009 World Baseball classic for Team USA. He is the 7th player to sign on, joining Cleveland Indians CF Grady Sizemore, New York Yankees SS Derek Jeter, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim starting pitcher John Lackey, reigning AL MVP 2b Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves 3b/OF Chipper Jones and C Brian McCann. The team will be managed by Mets legend Davey Johnson, who led the the great mid 80s Mets clubs , notably the 86 World Champions.
