I guess he might want to join us again

Re: Bartolo

If all else fails, he might be an interesting back of the rotation/spot starter.

He says he wants to rejoin, and then retire from, the Mets:

But if they put the DH into the NL, we would be deprived the fun of watching him bat. :)

Re: Bartolo

I'd just as soon have him as most of the stiffs we've had the last couple of years

I'd bet heavily against this happening.

Re: Bartolo

His bb-ref page has him at 285 lbs so I'm guessing he's around 310 lol...



I've (we've) always thought he'd be a good coach, would love to have TBS back

on in some coaching capacity.

Re: Bartolo

Bullpen coach, maybe. Player, no.



At least Steve Cohen could absorb the food cost without feeling it.

Re: Bartolo

With the DH a better than even chance to become permanent in the NL, it would be great to have his bat in the lineup.

Re: Bartolo

God made minor-league contracts for a reason.



I'd be very surprised if any team offered him a big league deal.

Re: Bartolo

Assuming there are fans in the stands, I'd like to see Bartolo get a spring training sendoff like HoJo got. I was at some of those games. He had a chance to put the uniform on, play in some games and get standing ovations and go out on his own terms.
