Catcher Ronny Paulino and right-handed reliever D.J. Carrasco officially became New York Mets on Thursday when both free agents passed physicals in New York. Paulino, 29, signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal to serve as a righty-hitting complement to lefty-hitting Josh Thole behind the plate. Carrasco, 33, signed a two-year, $2.5 million deal. - espn

RHP, Mets: Ramirez has pushed his fastball up to 98-99 mph according to several scouts who have seen him in the Dominican. A starter all the way through 2009, Ramirez moved full-time to the bullpen in 2010, going 4-4, 4.16 and reaching Double-A Binghamton. He throws a changeup, curve and slider as well but has impressed most with his improved fastball velocity and control in the Dominican, where he was averaging 11.32 strikeouts per nine innings and just 1.74 walks per nine. He's posted a 2.18 ERA in 21 innings. - BA

That knee remains the sticking point that has spoiled the relationship between the Mets and Beltran. After enduring a deep knee bruise in 2009 that caused him to stop and start his season repeatedly, he opted to have his own doctor perform surgery last January. That opened a rift with the Mets insisting that they hadn’t given permission and neither side has forgotten the fight that ensued. The Mets also haven’t forgotten that even after a weekend in Philadelphia late last season in which he finally looked like the player he once was (not to mention standing up to Chase Utley in a hard slide for hard slide tradeoff) he finished the season on the sidelines again with pain in the knee. - north jersey

| what pic did you think I'd use? |
“We were down in the middle of the jungle. Its hot, its so hot you can’t sleep. There’s a war going on. … We were up on a hill, there’s a valley, on the other hill is where the wars going on and Joe says I gotta take a shower. I said Joe we are out in the middle of the jungle, what do you mean you gotta take a shower? He says I don’t give a damn, I’m Joe D and I gotta take a shower.”
“The only way you could take a shower, is to have these big bamboo bags like, someone’s gotta get on a chair and poor the water and pull a rawhide thing and the water comes through and the guy takes the shower. So I saw everything that Marilyn Monroe saw. “Now when I tell people the best way to describe Joe DiMaggio: he was a penis with a man hanging from it.” - ben maller
