A Word with Damion Easley

Some MetsToday readers suggested I steal credentials and scam my way into a press conference. Well, I did get into the official press room and had an exclusive interview with Damion Easley. (OK, two minutes of groveling isn’t exactly an “interview”).

Damion wanted to know why I’m hating on him so much, and told me his bat isn’t that slow. From here on he’s my favorite Met and I’ll only have glowing words for Mr. Easley.

Easley made me feel even worse by turning out to be an incredibly nice guy. Thanks Damion!

Joe Janish began MetsToday in 2005 to provide the unique perspective of a high-level player and coach -- he earned NCAA D-1 All-American honors as a catcher and coached several players who went on to play pro ball. As a result his posts often include mechanical evaluations, scout-like analysis, and opinions that go beyond the numbers.
