New Met: - 1B/3B/OF - Mike Hessman


The Mets have made a minor move by signing minor league free agent Mike Hessman. As I've said before, this organization needs depth and I wouldn't complain about any of these type of deals being made.

Hessman played 14 minor league seasons at third base ( 1262 gms), 9 seasons at 1B ( 167 gms) and a few games in the OF. In the minors he has a .229 BA with a .459 Slg. pct.

He has made it to the majors in four different seasons in which he hit .208 with a .476 Slg. pct in 77 games.

Career minor-leaguer Mike Hessman has signed a minor-league deal. Hessman, 31, hit .217 with 23 homers and 77 RBI while striking out 171 times in 466 at-bats with Triple-A Toledo last season. He played in 70 major-league games from 2003-08 with the Braves and Tigers, appearing in the outfield as well as at first and third base. Hessman has a .208 average with 13 homers in 168 major-league at-bats.source Daily News
