I'll be very disappointed if (when?) the Mets DFA Trot for Andy Phillips. Although I don't think Trot is the savior of the team, I have to say I feel more confident lately with him batting at the bottom of the lineup than the likes of Endy, Tatis, Marlon, Easley, Castro, Schneider - pretty much anyone. He'll at least draw a key walk and he has a bit of pop - and he plays an all around good game. Why cut the guy? Andy Phillips is NOT the answer. He's not the answer to the lefty heavy lineup and he is not the answer to first base. Lost in all this is the fact that the Mets have actually done very well against lefties, despite the lefty heavy lineup. Another head scratcher for the Mets. Agree 100%.

Has anyone claimed Vargas off waivers yet?

The biggest problem this team has is lack of offense, and Andy Phillips does nothing to fill that void. I'm glad he has a good glove, but that is simply not very important to this team right now.
