-?@Mets #Mets acquire outfielder Collin Cowgill from Oakland in exchange for minor league infielder Jefry Marte.

Is this really the out fielder that Sandy was trying to add, that wasn't on the radar ? oh well

He's young... Projects to be a 4th OF but he'll start on this team.

Didn't give up much to get him, so I can't really complain. Certainly not a difference maker though.

26 years old and has some speed, Doubt this is it but it is a good start, Young and new to this team.

Wow this trade warrants all caps as breaking news? Man how low this team has fallen. Come on Jeffie, you have to know better when to use the caps!

I guess it was only an accident it was announced during the Conference Call R.A was conducting with the New York Media

i really hope this isnt the outfielder he was talking about.

Why, expecting something different?

Same station. black and white....now in HD.

aww still mad they traded dickey? itll be ok. dont worry,be happy.

and yeah,was hoping for atleast a starting outfielder.not a fourth outfielder.im optimistic this isnt it though but well see how it plays out.

unlike the dickey show, "whos in the outfield" is still on the air.stay tuned and put on your closed captions so you can understand better.

atleast they didnt really give up anyone we needed to get him.bright light at the end of the tunnel.

How low? Cowgill is a 26 year old who has just 196 ABS in the bigs and has some speed, In 2010 in 500 minor league ABS had 25 steals and in 2011 in 395 Minor league ABs had 30 stolen bases.

And any news that just happen no matter how small is BREAKING NEWS!, There is a difference between breaking news and BIG news.

LOL Well it was not really announced more so the story got broken.

Who would have broken the story if all the New York Media was on a conference call with RA Dickey?

There will be more moves but this gives us a young guy with speed, Is he a stud? No but at 26 with less then 200 big league ABs we really dont know what he can be, Most likely a late inning defensive replacement and pinch runner.

You work at an apple store?

lol no.asm at lowes home improvement actually. lol

Those guys multitask.

ASM? assmonkey?

Or maybe ownership released it trying to divert attention away from the popular Cy Young award winner they just traded away after trying to smear him the week leading up to the trade?

assmonkey? lol
