The Lastest Guillen rumor...
Rumor has it that Gullen plus cash may be traded to the Mets for Angel Pagan. Looks like Angel is about a 1 WAR player to me. He looks to be slightly above average with his glove, slightly above average with his bat (in the NL). Was ...
Jose Guillen Trade Rumor Is Ridiculous For Multiple Reasons
Amazin' Avenue —
Adam Rubin at the Daily News is peddling a Jose Guillen trade rumor with this headline: "New York Mets Jump Into Bargain Hunt For Free Agent Jose Guillen". Let's analyze this report and headline:
a) Jose Guillen is not a free agent. Why are the words "free agent" in the title? Maybe I'm missing something.
b) Jose Guillen is not a bargain. He has 1 year left on his contract at $12 million.
c) When one reads a headline like that, he expects to see some info in the article detailing ...

Since there hasn't been any real Blue Jay news for a long while (depressingly long when you are attempting to write about them every day), so the incentive is there to make something up, like this Mets writer in the New York Daily News. This one is worth extra points because the headline calls Jose Guillen a free agent, when he isn't one. To be fair, odds are the writer didn't write the headline, but the story itself is a good example since there is no suggestion that it came from anywhere but the writer's imagination. It has the added ...

... road games against the Marlins in Puerto Rico. As Craig Calcaterra points out, this is good news for David Wright's fantasy overlords.
The Mets are hoping to land John Lackey, but if he falls through they will look long and hard at Ben Sheets. Other names mentioned include Pineiro, Marquis, and Wolf. News that the Mets might not make an all out push to throw money around drove some blogs to despair.
Here is the annual Jose Guillen to the Mets rumor.

Should They Pay Or Just Say No?
Mets Today —
... this winter, so they’ll focus on “second-tier” free agents. Adam Rubin reports that the Mets are looking at Jose Guillen as a bargain basement alternative to Matt Holliday or Jason Bay (wow, that’s some drop off!). Recent rumblings are that the Mets will look past the high-priced John Lackey and toward less expensive (and less reliable) options such as Joel Pineiro and Randy Wolf. Further, there suddenly is talk that they are considering ...
