FLASH - Mets to Non-Tender Mike Pelfrey

As expected, the Mets will non-tender right-hander Mike Pelfrey, a person with the team told Mike Puma of the New York Post (Twitter links). The Mets still want to sign Pelfrey as a free agent, Puma reports.

Observation:

I don't see this as the end of the story.

First, no one is going to offer Pelfrey $5mil after coming back from TJS. His only chance to return to the majors is through the kind of deal Chris Young had with the Mets last season.

Second, he will not be ready until around the all-star break, so his name is going to go away for awhile.

And lastly, Pelf loves being a Met. More important, he was one of the most popular players in the clubhouse as well with the ownership and management.


If Mike Puma's report is correct, it is the right thing for the Mets to do... now... but don't be surprised if you don't see him back in a Mets uniform before the season ends.

This does not mean, necessarily, letting down your guard and pouring your heart out about how much you love your grandmother. The whole professional vs. personal ratio also has to be calculated with your topic and target audience in mind. If you're having second thoughts about writing something in your blog that might be crossing the line, it's best to err on the side of caution and leave it out.
