I wouldn't think he'd be able to opt out 2 years in... And he doesn't have enough service time under his belt to jet for the freeagent market anyways... He's just over three years in service time right now, and you've got to accumulate six before you're eligible for FA,unless your team declines arbitration after your third year (which the Marlins wouldn't do with Hanley), or you're a foreign signing (Daisuke andFukudome for example) and it's explicitly written in your contract that your team cannot offer arbitration after your initial contract expires, whichisn't the case here...
[h4]Mets' pizza patch the laughingstock of baseball uniform world[/h4]

If you're the type of person who doesn't spend much time thinking about sleeve patches on uniforms, don't worry.
Neither do the Mets.
The team recently unveiled the logo to celebrate their upcoming first season in Citi Field and to say that it's being mocked worse than an oblivious American Idol contestant would be an understatement.
At its best, it's being said to resemble the logo of a certain pizza company that once featured the 'Noid. At its worst, it's being categorized as the biggest affront to Mets fans since John Rocker's sermon in SI.
Here's what UniWatch's Paul Lukas, a lifelong Mets fan, had to say:
"Compare (anything) to this, and the Mets' effort comes off looking like amateur hour. Or maybe amateur minute. It looks like one of those cheapo generic marks you see in commercials or movies when the producers couldn't afford the licensing fees for the real logos."
Though some conspiracy theorists are saying that this is the Mets way of distancing the team from CitiGroup, that isn't the case here. MLB doesn't allow commercial logos on uniforms, so that wouldn't even be an issue. More likely, it's a case of the Mets being as dull and uninspiring as their '08 bullpen. They could've held a coloring contest among preschoolers and still ended up with a better design than the one above.
They'd do it, but the price would be steep...
The Rangers are said to be seeking a young, cost-controllable 3B in return...Originally Posted by bbllplaya23
True. Do you know what the Rangers are asking for? We need a SS BADLY. And looking at Young's numbers from last year, it seems like he had a down year. Do you think he's on the downhill or just had a rough season? He is 32...

What kind of horrible written article is that?
Nobody cares about patches let alone the "baseball world".
