June 22: Tuesday Morning Mets Links
MetsToday – Remember Jason Vargas? He’s doing pretty well for himself these days.
New York Post – Dan Martin reports that several Mets are in favor of bringing in another veteran starting pitcher.
Wall Street Journal – Yet another look at the failed plan to use Jenrry Mejia as a reliever at the major league level.
ESPN New York – Adam Rubin points out that demoting Mejia may increase his trade value, because he will now be under control until 2016.
OnTheBlack – Kerel Cooper has the skinny on the Mets supporting volunteer efforts in the local community.
New York Times – David Waldstein writes about the nearly extinct knuckleball glove.
The Brooklyn Paper – Wally Backman’s Brooklyn Cyclones overcame horrendous tie-dyed uniforms to beat the Aberdeen Ironbirds, 5-2. If you watched the game on SNY, you got to see an opposite field home run by Cory Vaughn and a perfectly executed squeeze play by Bill Cherry.

It was a great explanation, but if you didn't catch the first five minutes of the game, you were destined for confusion and headaches.
And speaking of links, John, I suggest you head over to the dailystache and read the article titled "Too Much Wally World." You may need to set that young whippersnapper straight.
