Resigning Endy Chavez to a 1-year, $1.75 million was a good move. We needed a backup outfielder and he earned his spot with his performance last year. He will forever be remembered for The Catch even though the Mets lost that game. But he clearly played above his abilities last year and I'm glad he didn't get a multi-year contract.
I have no idea what the Mets gave Scott Schoeneweis so much money ($10.8m over 3 years) but wouldn't give basically the same money to Chad Bradford. I guess they felt like they need a lefty in the pen to go with Feliciano.
And the Jorge Sosa signing is pretty good to me even though he had a crappy year (3-11) last season. The guy has ability and if the Jacket (Peterson) can work his magic maybe the Mets will have something. If not all they lost was $1.25 million.
