The Mets next hitting threat Omir Santos


As our big hitting catcher Brian Schenider works on getting his back up to playing shape so he can hit a solid .240 the Mets brought up Omir Santos to back up Raul Castro. He as been only up for 3 games so far and this kid has shown he can hit.


He hit 4 home runs in spring training and 1 of I remember was a moon shot in a lopsided spring training loss. Well Saturday Omir scored the only run in the Mets 1-0 contest as well as throwing a runner to end the game and yesterday laced a triple that would make Jose jealous.


His triple went to the wall in right center and this kid motored around to make it to 3rd. The ball he hit was a shot that eluded the brewers outfielders even speedy Mike Cameron.


He had a cup of coffee with the orioles last year but he can make you forget last years call up Roberto Cancel in a heartbeat. Looking forward to games this kid plays.
