Long Island’s Own (this Atlantic League season) Jackie Bradley, Jr., has inked a minor league deal with the quackers’ Queens neighbors.

NYM welcomes LIOJBJ.

Maybe he’s headed to Syracuse to fill a spot and Drew Gilbert is headed to Queens!

Drew Gilbert has been out all but 40 abs this season due to a hamstring issue

He just went on a rehab assignment the other day. Not sure we see him at Citified this season

Yeah, not sure what he brings to the table that Bader doesn't, except not as good a stick.

Mets sites have been saying in the last few weeks that the Mets needed a lefty hitting outfielder.
They got one.
Now, let's get a better one.

He only has to be better than whoever he is taking ABs from in Syracuse in order for it to be worth signing him to a minor league deal as additional injury insurance. If they bring him to Queens absent an injury, that is a whole different story.

Most nights it's a pretty nondescript group of OFs up here. The talent on the field in on the infield

Yeah, and he has a good defensive reputation, so if he just makes the pitchers feel good that is fine too.

He's obviously got a cool name going, like he's a jazz musician or flamboyant personal injury lawyer. You remember him better than other Reserve outfielder who try and salvage their careers in the Atlantic League.

Was decent once. Good defensively. Was an All-Star. Won a Gold Glove. Had power. Decent speed. Strikes out a lot. Bad average.

We already have someone who somewhat fits that mold on the roster, Ben Gamel.

Yeah, but there's this other roster in Syracuse.

Bradley hit more than well enough with the Ducks to justify giving him a few weeks in Syracuse to see what he really has. I don't think a platoon partner for Bader would be a bad thing.

JBJ only has to be more useful than Ben Gamel, and he sounds that way.
