Say It Isn't So...O-Dog On Braves Radar
Images of Reyes and O-Dog making up perhaps the best double-play combination in MLB, are quickly fading. It's bad enough the Mets are not actively trying to acquire the O-Dog, however to have to face him 18 times a season is just unacceptable.
According to Dave O'Brien of the AJC, Orlando Hudson is on the Braves radar. And frankly, he makes more sense than Brian Roberts, who would require a package of prospects to get via trade, and who’d be a free agent at the end of the year. Why not just sign Hudson, especially since the price for the free agent isn’t going to be as high as suspected because the market for him isn’t nearly what he’d hoped it’d be.
In case you missed my piece on Orlando Hudson earlier this month, I have attached it below.
Mr. Wilpon, I'm asking you to take advantage of MLB's double coupon days.
Step one... Bring the O-Dog to town, right quick, fast and in a hurry!!!
Ken Rosenthal, of FOX Sports, puts it this way. Hudson is a switch-hitter. His effervescent personality would be perfect for a Mets team that has collapsed in each of the past two Septembers. And the high-energy, slick-fielding double-play combination of Hudson and Jose Reyes would be a fan's delight.
Can you think of a more suitable representative than O-Dog? He fits the quintessential profile of what Team Wilpon is looking for and can flat out play ball. I believe he will thrive in the limelight of NY sports and take pressure off D-Wright, being the lone soldier answering questions at the end of a game. O-Dog is active in the charitable works arena, specifically with his passion to fight autism. Did I mention he wants to play for the Mets?

- Here's what he will bring to the ballpark every day:
08 Season - O-Dog .305 BA/ .367 OBP/ .450 SL/ .817 OPS - CASTILLO - .245 BA/ .355 OBP/ .305 SL/ .660 OPS
Oh, and just for craps and giggles, O-Dog's OPS 1.171 at Shea, eclipses the greatest all time career mark set by the Babe, 1.164. Believe me I'm not comparing him to the Babe!!! BTW, his second best OPS was Turner Field, 1.020. Yes, I'm aware of the sampling size.
SHEA- .400 BA/ .438 OBP/ .733 SL/ 1.171 OPS
- NL Gold Glove winner 2006 and 2007
