Mets trade for Jeff Conine
According to an article I saw on another website, the Mets have obtained Conine for minor leaguers Jose Castro and Sean Henry. The Mets definitely needed another bat to face lefties with Easley done for the year, but it appears the Mets dealt more for Conine than they did for Luis Castillo. Jose Castro is undersized, but he is hitting for a high average in the Florida State League at age 20 and does not K that much. Sean Henry was a sleeper who really came on this year and showed a lot of upside. While I know the Mets are deep with OF prospects I just think that if Henry could replicate his success at AA next year he would have garnered a lot more in return and it was not like Conine was the only righty bat on the market

multi-positional...
I can't believe Conine is still in the league, 41 years old, a 17 year career of being a good-not-great-but-consistently-reliable hitter.
