Former Mets killer, Willie Harris, who was signed by the Mets this past off-season, has made the decision by the Mets seem like a genius move.
Harris today hit his first Mets HR in plating the first two Mets runs in a 9-2 Mets walloping of the Marlins.
Harris is batting .400 with 1 HR and 4 RBI thus far this season. He is a defensive option late in games he hasn't started, and is showing thus far this early season that his bat will not hurt this team.
Harris who had a history of killing the Mets with his glove when he was with Atlanta and Washington, has helped the Mets tremendously in the early goings of the 2011 season. The Mets took 2 of 3 from the Fish, opening the season at a respectable 2-1 on the road.
The Mets take their traveling show to Philadelphia on Tuesday where they will face the National League Champion Phillies, who swept the Astros this weekend.
It is a long season, and being Mets fans we know how long seasons can be, but the Mets are off to a nice start, and Willie Harris has gone a long way towards the early season success.
If you can't beat 'em, sign 'em.
