If those guys are producing when Bay comes back he has to produce right away, 2 plus seasons of underperforming, injurys and long dl stints is enough. He needs to start hitting yesterday.

i think hairston has been productive for the mets in his role. i suspect baxter may go to AAA until sandy can trade bay, or sept callups. bay seems a nice fellow and a good teammate, but a fresh start somewhere else would be good for him. someone on this board previously suggested a trade to seattle for a catcher, miguel olivo i think. that is bays part of the country. nickeas has been doing a good job, but that might make sense if jack z. would go for it. we would have to eat a lot of dough.
