...is the newest Met, signing a minor-league deal according to multiple postings. Not a bad guy to have around, but unless you're going to stockpile him in Buffalo, do you see a place for him?

He's very versatile - could be multiple places. Professional hitter. Later

I love when he impersonates John Madden.

Nice. Local guy too. (Long Island)

One of my Long Island homeboys. I'd be very excited to see him get some time at Shea this year. edit: Ah, hell. That's a tough habit to break. I was going to edit it and correct it, but fuggit, I'm leaving it.

I see him battling Carter for one spot. My money is still on the younger and more powerful Carter, but the redundancy can't hurt. I expect he'll be a fan favorite if he makes the team, though.

A guy I know claims to have coached him in some youth league ball out on L.I. a whole buncha years ago. Goes without saying that he was real good back then.

Most of his 2ndbase-ing was years ago - although I suspect that's where many fans are going to envision him. Mostly corner OF and DH in recent years.

For me, he's a real home boy; he's from my hometown of Smithtown, although he went to the other high school.

Well, I see the stockpiling of outfielders as nice depth, and a hint of a trade. I also imagine Omar's hoping someone has a hot April and he can use him as a trade piece once Beltran's back.

I've always liked him. Incredibly versatile. Glad he's aboard.

I'll take it, even if it's 4 years late. At worst, if he's okay with wings and cold nights, Ike and the gang get a guy with some great stories of The Show. As for nickname: "Frankie Cats" just REEKS of mob ties. I like it.

He's supposedly a clubhouse guy and a mentor on every team he's been on. I wish we'd have picked him up 4 years ago, but he can't hurt.
