Latest On Botts

We’ve been drumming up the idea of taking Jason Botts / Nelson Cruz off the Rangers’ hands for a few months now.

Interestingly, the situation surrounding those two sluggers is getting a lot of attention in the Texas blogosphere. Check out Lone Star Ball’s latest take on the Botts / Cruz dilemma … some seem to think that either or both of those players would pass through waivers without being claimed. I’d love to see one of them become available to the Mets.

Sign me up as a supporter of the Jason “Boom” Botts movement.

I hope Omar’s taking a look at the waiver wire, and it’s potential candidates. It’d be nice to pick-up a serviceable RH bat with pop — and in stating your case over the winter, both of these guys (I’m more intrigued by Bott - FWIW) — I’m on board with this guy as an option for LF and 1B as needed.
