Memories of Adeiny Hechavarria

Adeiny's an enemy now, joining Atlanta to screw us over a million ways, or one for every buck the Mets wriggled out of owing him. We talked about him as this season's dark horse when he was filling in admirably for Cano. Sadly he faded before the stretch run. Terrific glove. Surprising pop. Good luck, except for what you do in a Braves uniform.

I liked him and was surprised to see him go. Not at all sure Tejada is ultimately an upgrade, even if it wasn't drawn up that way. Well I kinda know that.

Good hands, made Rosie look bad by comparison, back before Rosie was our best player.

One of those guys who hits well enough until you trick yourself into depending on it. It probably has nothing to do with anything, but Rosario's defense seemed to begin visibly improving after Hech showed up, particularly on balls close to the ground.
