Alright, so the aforementioned Chris Coste column is posted at SNY.tv. Check it out.
I speculated a lot and made it about Alex Cora, too, because Alex Cora is a giant offseason lightning rod for Mets fans and I could not resist.
There shouldn’t be too much there that shocks TedQuarters faithful, but I’m happy I finished it, even if I’m not thrilled with the outcome. I never meant to let that space die when I started this blog; I had a column about Citi Field bouncing around in my head that I kept putting off, then I got so caught up in blogging that I kind of put the SNY.tv column on the back burner.
Omar’s next move in Chaos theory roster management: Bringing back Mike Piazza.
Well Coste has a split-contract I think, so it’s not “guaranteed” money in the sense that he counts toward the major league payroll unless he makes the team or gets called up at some point.
Has a split contract been reported anywhere? I saw it in one report from CSNPhilly, but since the Fargo article mentioned a guaranteed 40-man roster spot, I assumed it’s a Cory Sullivan special.
The Fargo thing also said he might not make the big-league team out of spring training (re: won’t) so that made me think it was split also.
