Nevermind, didn't realize the other thread with the weird name was about it. Didn't even know it was baseball related. My bad.

It's better than cutting him.

I'm sorry things didn't work out for Kaz in NY, I was rooting for him.

In between. Basically they rid themselves of a guy who didn't pan out and who the fans hated. Since we're still paying and only getting Marrero as a player, it really won't affect the team, IMHO.

as i said in the other thread i think it helps with immediate position needs

Based on how the Mets approach this, specifically Willie, we can now use Castro more as a PH, assuming they kind of look over his recent slump and look at last year, because Marrero started to catch games again this year (5 games, 14 innings).

I'm sorry it didn't work out for Kaz, but it makes sense to get something for him before his contract runs out. He was not likely to be the starter, and is of limited use as a reserve, so it makes sense to give someone more versitile his place on the bench.

I didn't hate Kaz. Right now they need cannon fodder in the outfield.

I don't know why, but I always liked Kaz and felt sorry for him at times. For the best interest of all involved, it was time for Kaz to move on.
