d'Arnaud isn't good enough to be the catcher on my co-ed softball team. Another joke move by Sandy.

With several passed balls and an average around .150 after more than a dozen games, d'Arnaud epitomizes the Mets' new no-field, no-hit approach to the game of baseball.

I hope he proves me wrong, but right now he reminds me of Gregg Jefferies c. 1989. Maybe he'll get better in 5 years, after he gets traded from the Mets.

Gregg Jefferies?????
We should be so fortunate.
He reminds me of Butch Benton... but not as good!

Hot Foot

He's starting to remind me of Gregg Jefferies c. 1988. He should win the Rookie of the Year award.
I hope he keeps it up, but like everyone, I'm a bit worried about his concussions. He'll probably end up in left field when Plawecki comes up, but if he hits 25 homers a year, I can accept that.

If Trav can stay healthy, he's got a lot of potential to become one of the premier catchers of his era. He's got great power to all fields. Quite a steal from the Jays in the Dickey trade too!

I cannot begin to express my joy that the Mets released this fellow, quite possibly the worst Mets catcher since Junior Ortiz. He was poor hitter, poor handler of pitchers and could not throw runners out. He was also always hurt. Year after year, we heard what a great prospect he was. Now, approaching age 30, the team realized it was time to cut him loose. Thank heavens. A truly unwatchable, overrated Met. Goodbye!

Just because a guy has a first round or top prospect pedigree doesn't mean you have to keep bringing him back year. After year. After year. After year.
And that's what the Mets did with d'Arnaud. I was not a fan of the guy. He couldn't stay healthy, he didn't hit well, his fielding was mediocre. I couldn't stand that they wouldn't give up on him. The Mets kept him around for seven seasons! Nearly a decade! What were they thinking? At some point you just gotta throw in the towel.
Granted he had some pop, but that doesn't legitimize keeping him around so long. And because he could never stay healthy, we had to suffer through too much of Kevin Plawecki, Anthony Recker and Rene Rivera, as well.
Since leaving he's become an All-Star and a Silver Slugger and maybe that's what New York was hoping to capture. But all they got was an average of 58 games, 7 home runs and 23 RBI per year from this guy.
