IF Ruben Gotay has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves. The Braves expect to put Gotay on their 25-man roster.
The Mets put Gotay on waivers late on Wednesday, and Gotay had the following comment when placed on waivers:
"I thought I did a good job last year and I didn't deserve this."
He's right. I was a big fan of Gotay and last year even said I'd be fine with him as our everyday second baseman. His defense wasn't like Castillo's, but give me a break. It's not like he had no mobility out there and couldn't field the position. His bat was great, and I loved it when Willie toyed around with him batting second behind Reyes. This is a shame, Gotay should be on this team.
And I hate to say this because I do like a lot that Omar Minaya has done, but Gotay is no longer on the Mets because Fernando Tatis is a Minaya guy. He was brought into Texas by Minaya, he was in Montreal when Minaya was running that show and he's been invited to Mets camp since Minaya has been back here. It's a joke that Tatis is gonna be our 25th man because he has versatility. He's a 32-year old failed steroid subject who's played one season since 2003 and only has one good year to his name, and that was 1999.
This is what's gonna happen; Tatis is gonna start the year 1-for-24, he'll be designated for assignment and the Mets are gonna wish they held onto Gotay because now they have to force Jose Valentin and Damian Easley into the lineup when Castillo needs days to rest his terrible knee, and then the bench is weakened because now we have to call up someone who isn't a Major League bat.
Maybe this is a Mets fan liking a scrappy player too much, but I don't understand why you wouldn't want Ruben Gotay on this team. He'd be a great asset. This is a shame. And it's even worse that he's going to Atlanta, because I'm sure he'll come back to kill us sooner rather than later.

hi, i have no comment about your writting issues but i wanted to tell you that i want you to warn people about 'remote control technology', i no that heaps of people know about this but in the new generation, innocent kids knew nothing about it. the way these people using this technology is so irrating that made many people in the society suicide and have a brocken relationship. i dont care that it is a secret technology but to me it is no secret at all. you know it too that britney spears shave her hair because of this, and micheal jackson have plastic surgery, princess diana died also to do with this technology. Anyone can be control anytime and any where. this is a warning and to find more information about this please search it up on google.
