Parlayed his good year off the bench into a [url=http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2228725]2-year deal[/url]

Mr. Anderson goes to Washington. The #1 memory of Marlon was that inside the parker against the Halos. You'll be missed.

I'm sorry to see him go but very happy for Marlon, he was great wasn't he?, and he gave us a season hightlight with his inside the park home run, blowing bubbles as he rounded 2nd was just brilliant.

Marlon was one of four Mets from Montgomery, part of a bumper crop of 20 Alabamans.

Spent 02 with the Phils; 03 with the D-Rays; 04 with the Cards; 05 with the Mets. Finally gets to unpack in Washington.

A fine year he had for us, but expecting a repeat would be a stretch. If he didn't repeat fans would hate him. So this is good for him and for us.

What??? This is bullshit!!! We should have had him signed, sealed, and delivered!!!

I guess its time to admit I was wrong. When he was signed last year, I posted that it was a mistake. But his play this year turned me into a fan of his. Bye, Marlon, I'll miss ya'. Later

At least we keep Chris "Dumbo" Woodward.

Valadius' last two posts betraying the high living of a collegiate Friday evening.

I wouldn't have expected him to sign so quickly, but then again I wouldn't have given him two years. That might open a door for Lambin or Keppinger though, so perhaps it's a blessing in disguise.

so what happens to Jose Vidro and Junior Spivey??-- looks like the Nats have corenerd the market on 2b-men...

smg58 Nov 19 2005 10:25 AM

Vidro's not going anywhere. Spivey probably is.

TheOldMole Nov 19 2005 10:39 AM

I woulda kept him.

Marlon Anderson was a valuable bench player for the Mets last season. He was far better than I had expected him to be. I was hoping he would be around for the upcoming season, but I don't think I would have guaranteed two years. I wish him well in Washington.

I was watchin at home and i jumped all over the room like a lunatic. Top season hi-lite in my book. Marlon certainly did his job, and then some. Guess he's up for good now.(MLB)

HappyRecap Nov 21 2005 12:08 PM Sorry to see him go, but then again, who cares

guys like Marlon A come and go and you just try to get a few more hits out of them when they are here. Someone will take his spot. But he and Woodward were nice bench guys to have. Glad we still have Woodward who is perhaps the baldest man I have ever seen. Ever see that Homer Simpson line of hair that he would have if he didn't shave it? Geez. My guess is guys like Daubach, Offerman and Gerald Williams are all in camp and we add some other castoffs to see what they have left in their tank. Could be worse, it could be the Garcia/Spencer tandem that we had. {shudder}
