The Mets took Carlos Monasterios from the Phillies in the Rule 5 Draft this morning. It’s not a big deal, but the Phillies only had 33 men on their 40-man roster so weren’t even close to protecting Monasterios, plus he didn’t even make the list of 14 guys Jonathan Mayo suggested at MLB.com, plus he only threw seven innings about Single A last season, plus this guy was available. The Mets must really like something about Monasterios, in other words.

Update, 10:02 a.m. And apparently Monasterios has been traded to the Dodgers for cash considerations.

Braylon Edwards says Kellen Clemens reminds him of Derek Anderson. Not good.

Wallace Matthews derp dee derp derp derp.

This here web network is all over the Curtis Granderson trade. Favorable reviews mostly. I think I’m the last person in the world who thinks Ian Kennedy’s any good, for what it’s worth.
