I know I'm late to the party, but what kind of webmistress would I be if I didn't at least post about it. I woke up at 7am this morning as our cruise ship pulled into the Port of Miami, fresh off our last stop in Turks and Caicos, and gleefully turned on my cell phone for the first time in eight days! Even better, I was greeted with the news, via TWS's own Andrew, that Jason Bay had signed with the Mets. I'm actually quite happy with the signing, as I never thought Holliday would actually leave St. Louis and a lineup that featured Albert Pujols. For all that money and a perpetual shot at the playoffs, would you? Remember, they got Bay at a relatively decent price in a year without many worthwhile free agents, from an offensive perspective. And honestly, I think Bay will follow in the steps of Carlos Beltran as a guy who was apprehensive in coming to the Big Apple, but turned out to love it. Perhaps, Beltran will help him adjust, as will everyone's BFF, David Wright, and his previously-established buddy, Jeff Francoeur. I'm going to make it known right now that I am of the firm belief that Jason's going to start off slow. Like... .255 slow. But I know he's going to have a good May. Trust me, it's coming. But in the end, we'll all be happy with our acquisition ultimately. And I, for one, will be attending opening day on my birthday to welcome him to Flushing. Will you?
