I know the Mets were looking at Byrnes at the end of '04 but could swing a deal with at A's. I don't think the Mets should be too worried about Byrnesie's "injury history". He injured his hammies in '08, but when I saw him in SF in Sept '09, he was running normally. The injury in 09 was a freak accident--breaking his hand because he got hit by a pitch--that can happen to anyone at anytime. But again, in Sept. he said he was finally healthy. His going to the Mets could be a great idea for him and the team IF the Mets are going to play him as a regular. Stats show that is when Byrnesie performs best. He's not a good pinch hitter. Teaming him back up with Orlando Hudson, for whom I know he has high regard, would give the Mets some dynamic leadership on the field and in the clubhouse.Kellia Ramareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798417413227170819noreply@blogger.com
