I know he had a pretty decent September for the Rockies down the stretch and hit .291 and drove in 17 of his 31 RBIs from Sept. 1 on. Would he be good for us?

Yorvit still has a grievance against the Mets from last time.

Vomit's always been an Omar favorite. I'm sure Omar will be "imbestigating" his availability.

Tough one, didn't Omar lie about some medical issue as an excuse to renege on a handshake for Torrealba to come here?

DENVER -- Yorvit Torrealba does not think too much about the Mets anymore. But bring up the team withdrawing its contract offer to him in November 2007 and the emotions come back quickly.

"I haven't forgot about it," the Rockies catcher said Friday.

The Mets and Torrealba agreed on a three-year, $14.4 million deal that would make Torrealba the team's replacement for Paul Lo Duca. But just a few days later, before the contract was signed, the Mets backed out, telling Torrealba that his physical raised concerns about his right shoulder.

"In my eyes, they gave me a three-year deal then they wanted to back out of it when they agreed to it," Torrealba said. "They regretted it. Maybe they didn't think I was worth it. That's the way I look at it."
