Former Mets clubhouse manager Charlie Samuels pleaded guilty Tuesday
to stealing memorabilia worth more than $2.3 million from his old team. As part
of a plea deal, he’s now banned from Mets games for life. Samuels, 54, will
also have to return his massive collection of autographed bats, balls, jerseys
and helmets. He must pay the Mets $25,000 in restitution. And he'll have to pay
the city and state another $34,000 in back taxes http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ex-mets-clubhouse-manager-charlie-samuels-pleads-guilty-stealing-2-3m-memorabilia-article-1.1026265#ixzz1n2YzOyB0

Gomez, OF. Out of nowhere, this guy hit .307/.388/.547 in 85 High-A plate
appearances at age 19. That’s out of line with his earlier performances, but
one can’t help but be intrigued. Gomez offers some speed and should be a plus
glove in the outfield corners, and his approach is advanced for his age. Like
Urbina, he’s a young sleeper to watch. Grade: B-
Given the down year, it’s a bit surprising that it took $3.5
million for the Mets to sign Jon Rauch
in December. His role in the bullpen should be similar to that of Manny Acosta
or Bobby Parnell, both of whom could easily outperform Rauch this season. On the
upside, the Mets only committed one year to a 6’ 10" reliever with a neck
tattoo who has consistently avoided walking opposing hitters. And although the
walls are moving in at Citi Field, Rauch probably won’t give up home runs at
the clip he did last year. Like several of his new teammates, Rauch could be a
trade chip in July if he’s performing like his non-2011 self. http://www.amazinavenue.com/2012/2/21/2813430/2012-mets-player-profile-jon-rauch
Most people already assumes Dillon Gee will be in the Mets'
starting rotation this season, a defensible position given the dearth of other
options. Everyone else is either underdeveloped (Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler,
Jeurys Familia) or not on the Mets (lots of guys). Chris McShane suggested in
his profile a few weeks ago that, under more propitious circumstances, Gee
would be ticketed for the Triple-A rotation: http://www.amazinavenue.com/2012/2/21/2813489/new-york-mets-spring-training-2012-dillon-gee
