Cutnpaste, Pedro, Type B, Fan Interference, Yusmeiro Petit, and Hisanori Takahashi

Pedro:

Pedro Feliciano could’ve made a one-year salary in the range of $4.5 million to $5 million had he accepted arbitration. Yet a pitcher with Feliciano’s track record probably can get a multiyear contract, albeit at a lower salary per season. The Yankees are among the teams that have expressed interest in Feliciano, who is unlikely to return to the Mets. - Ben Maller  



Type B:

If the player is a Type B free agent and he declines an arbitration offer to sign a big-league contract elsewhere, the club that offered arbitration receives a 1st supplemental round pick in the following Rule IV draft. If the player is a Type A free agent and he declines an arbitration offer to sign a big-league contract elsewhere, the club that offered arbitration receives a 1st supplemental round pick and the club that signs the players’ 1st or 2nd round pick in the following Rule IV draft, depending on where the player's new club is scheduled to pick in the 1st round. -

Fan Interference:

According to section 3.16 of MLB rulebook, fan interference results in a dead ball and may be cause for an out: When there is spectator interference with any thrown or batted ball, the ball shall be dead at the moment of interference and the umpire shall impose such penalties as in his opinion will nullify the act of interference. APPROVED RULING: If a spectator clearly prevents a fielder from catching a fly ball, the umpire shall declare the batter out. - HBT  



Yusmeiro Petit:

Remember this kid when he was a top pitching prospect for the Mets? He’s been around so long, he was originally signed by the Mets when Steve Phillips was the GM — yet, he just turned only 26 years old two weeks ago. Petit has been solid but unspectacular ever since being part of the Carlos Delgado deal. He spent last year as a reliever in AAA, and wasn’t bad. If we believe his birth certificate he might be worth stashing in Buffalo. - link

Hisanori Takahashi:

Hisanori Takahashi, a versatile pitcher for the Mets in 2010, is close to agreeing to a multiyear deal with the Los Angeles Angels pending a physical, according to an executive with knowledge of the situation - NYT

Any idea if Juan Centeno will still be playing with the Brooklyn Cyclones in June 2011??

Mack Ade said...

My guess right now is he will move on to Savannah this season

cutiedimples24 said...

And how sure are you that he will move on ? because i know he was out a lot last season because of a pulled hamstring

Mack Ade said...

Oh, I, nor anyone else is sure about anything at this point..

I'm just giving you my educated guess.

Blake Forsythe will move on from Savannah to St. Lucie, leaving any combination of two or three lower level catchers to go there.

Centeno is as close as a catching prospect that the Mets have right now and he would be best served on a full season team.

He could remain in Brooklyn and Savannah would have Albert Cordero, and Juan Torres.

We'll see in April.
