Barajas claimed on waivers by LA. Welcome back Jesus Feliciano.

Imagine that? These two things don't really have anything to do with each other. The Mets HAD to re-activate Barajas as his injury rehab time was up. That he was put on waivers, claimed, and then et go on the claim is a separate issue. What it does signal is that they're much closer to being sold on Thole.

Who wouldn't be sold on a catcher that hits like Darrell Porter?

...joining to the Dodgers fulfills a childhood dream. He was born and grew up about a 20-minute drive from Dodgers Stadium, so sad though he is to leave the Mets, he lands in a welcome environment. “It’s tough to leave,” he said. “But it’s a good spot for me. That’s my team. That’s the team I grew up watching. It was a childhood dream to play for the Dodgers.” Kool beans for Throbarjas.

Vin Scully was so jazzed about the Barajas pick up that he re-upped for another year in the announcing booth.
