... If no other club claims Franco off waivers or trades for him, he will become a free agent in 10 days. At that point Franco can begin looking for a new team in his quest to play until he's 50.Franco was rarely used this season, appearing in 40 games, batting .200 with one home run and only eight RBI. Franco had essentially been operating as a defacto "player-coach" this season, giving guidance to the younger players. His departure is probably more due to the larger sweeping changes the Mets undertook today, with their decision to install Rickey Henderson as batting coach. And when you think about that, don't you wonder if the team is just asking for trouble there? It's like asking Dennis Rodman or Jose Canseco to join the coaching staff, isn't it? Fireworks ahead! ...

... – Ricky was a solid hitter throughout his career, but no one is going to confuse this guy with Ted Williams. Ricky never even had a 200 hit season. In fact, he is the only guy in the 3000 hit club never to surpass 180 hits in a season. It took him 23 seasons to reach 3000 and those last few seasons were pretty damn awful. In each of his last four campaigns he lowered his career low batting average for a season. When you are hitting .206, it has to be tough to stand naked in front of a full-length mirror and say “Ricky is the Best,” and actually believe it. (Thanks to 100 % Injury Rate) ...

The books were off $1 million. After an investigation, it was determined Rickey was the reason why. The GM asked him about a $1 million bonus he had received and Rickey said instead of cashing it, he framed it and hung it on a wall at his house.
