Brandon Hicks and His Hot Licks

Welcome Brandon Hicks! Infielder, acquired from the Athletics for "cash considerations." http://www.baseball-reference.com/playe ... br01.shtml .133 lifetime BA in the majors but only 90 ABs. He has some power.

Hit four homers in a row in AAA this season. He wasn't on the 40 for the A's, but he is out of option years. Would he have to clear waivers for the Mets to assign him to Buffavegas? Justin Turner, feel that flame up your ass?

Somebody has to back up Tejada, and Hicks seems to be more of a SS than Turner. But while Hicks had some pop in the minors (20hr/550AB power), Turner is a better hitter and would be more useful as a PH.

Well, it's not necessarily an either/or. Ronny Cedeņo's spot on the roster is still open. Currently being squatted by Zack Lutz, but that's not really gonna happen.

Brandon enjoys food and beverages.

Ooh. Drenching a guy while he's wired. Tim McCarver's gonna kick your ass.
