The thread that tracks Mets and Met prospects who have no contract right now, and so could disappear forever at any time. 2007--2008 Mets Major and Minor League Free Agents Blue=Major League Free Agent Orange=Minor League Free Agent Starting Pitchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Tom Glavine (2008: Atlanta) Brian Lawrence (2007: New Orleans/New York) Dave Williams (2007: New Orleans, New York) Relief Pitchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Joe Hietpas (2007: St. Lucie) Ricardo Morales (2007: St. Lucie, Binghamton) Clint Nageotte (2007: New Orleans) Marcelo Perez (2007: Binghamton) Corey Ragsdale (2007: Gulf Coast) José Santiago (2007: New Orleans) Raúl Valdes (2007: St. Lucie, Binghamton) Catchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Sandy Alomar, Jr. (2007: New Orleans, New York) Robinson Cancel (2007: Binghamton/ New Orleans) Ramon Castro (2007: New York) Edwards Guzman (2007: Binghamton) Mike DiFelice (2007: New Orleans, New York) Paul Lo Duca (2007: New York) José A.

Chad Hermansen's listed twice.

Valadius Dec 05 2007 10:40 PM

Oh, and the Reds just signed Jon Adkins to a minor league deal.

Edgy DC Dec 05 2007 10:41 PM

Not even listed. Must've been cut loose or something. I'll update tomorrow.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 06 2007 04:47 AM

Thought I saw where Williams was going to play in Japan.

MFS62 Dec 06 2007 06:11 AM

And I think I heard at the end of last season that Conine was going to retire rather than seek a 2008 contract . Later

sharpie Dec 06 2007 06:53 AM

Shouldn't Marlon Anderson be there in the signed column?

Edgy DC Dec 06 2007 07:16 AM

I guess so. Merging several lists, tabling, and posting at 1:35 isn't my strong suit. I'll update at noonish.

Edgy DC Dec 07 2007 12:37 PM

OK, updating. I'll move Conine maybe when there's some act of finality to his retirememt. Naa, I'll move him now. 2007--2008 Mets Major and Minor League Free Agents Blue=Major League Free Agent Orange=Minor League Free Agent Starting Pitchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Tom Glavine (2008: Atlanta) Brian Lawrence (2007: New Orleans/New York) Dave Williams (2008: Yokohama Baystars) Relief Pitchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Jon Adkins (2008: Cincinnati) Joe Hietpas (2007: St. Lucie) Ricardo Morales (2007: St. Lucie, Binghamton) Clint Nageotte (2007: New Orleans) Marcelo Perez (2007: Binghamton) Corey Ragsdale (2007: Gulf Coast) José Santiago (2007: New Orleans) Raúl Valdes (2007: St. Lucie, Binghamton) Catchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Sandy Alomar, Jr. (2007: New Orleans, New York) Robinson Cancel (2007: Binghamton/ New Orleans) Ramon Castro (2007: New York) Edwards Guzman (2007: Binghamton) Mike DiFelice (2007: New Orleans, New York) Paul Lo Duca (2007: New York) José A.

Also, Chip Ambres signed with San Diego.

Edgy DC Dec 07 2007 12:51 PM

That's right. That'll cost us a game in the standings right there.

Edgy DC Dec 12 2007 07:54 AM

Signed Away by Washington Signed Away by San Diego Catchers Outfielders Paul Lo Duca (2008: Washington) Chip Ambres (2008:San Diego) We should get a lot of movement coming up, as we're approaching a deadline for tendering contracts. Ambres' Met legacy may have some of the most concentrated goodness out there. 2007--2008 Mets Major and Minor League Free Agents Blue=Major League Free Agent Orange=Minor League Free Agent Starting Pitchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Tom Glavine (2008: Atlanta) Brian Lawrence (2007: New Orleans/New York) Dave Williams (2008: Yokohama Baystars) Relief Pitchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Jon Adkins (2008: Cincinnati) Joe Hietpas (2007: St. Lucie) Ricardo Morales (2007: St. Lucie, Binghamton) Clint Nageotte (2007: New Orleans) Marcelo Perez (2007: Binghamton) Corey Ragsdale (2007: Gulf Coast) José Santiago (2007: New Orleans) Raúl Valdes (2007: St. Lucie, Binghamton) Catchers Re-Signed Still on Market Signed Away/ Retired Sandy Alomar, Jr. (2007: New Orleans, New York) Robinson Cancel (2007: Binghamton/ New Orleans) Ramon Castro (2007: New York) Mike DiFelice (2007: New Orleans, New York) Edwards Guzman (2007: Binghamton) Paul Lo Duca (2008: Washington) José A.

weren't Brett Harper and Ambiorix Concepcion touted prospects at one point?

Edgy DC Dec 12 2007 08:49 AM

Depends on who is touting. Concepcion made the 40-man roster after one good year in Brooklyn meant needing to protect him from the Rule V. But he's been slow to progress since then. He's not a lost cause, but he's had trouble putting together a full seeason, and he's been passed by other outfield prospects. Harper's what he always was --- a minor league slugger who regularly slugs .500 but leaves scouts wondering if there are too many holes in his swing to translate that to big league performance, and if he doesn't really have a position. Nobody likes to experiment at first, because it's too easy to find a major leaguer with a history of production that you can park there. Harper is a lot like Craig Brazell, who just got released by the Royals (the Royals!) after hitting 39 homers in 135 minor league games last year, after previously giving a similar jerkaround to Calvin Pickering. I mean, how married can a team be to the likes of Doug Meintkiewicz and Ross Gload!? Somebody besides Japan has to give these guys a chance.

The Mets cut loose Johnny Estrada, Juan Padilla, and Ben Johnson tonight.

AG/DC Jan 08 2008 07:56 AM

I'm working on an update at home, but Marcelo Perez got gobbled up by Detroit --- in a huge vaccuming of minor league free agents as they desperately try to re-load their system after dealing off so many prospects --- and seeming Met-for-life Mike DiFelice signed with the Devil Rays.
