With Angel Pagan injuring his oblique and landing on the 15 day DL, the Mets needed an outfielder. Enter 27-year-old Jason Pridie from AAA-Buffalo. Pridie is most famous for being included in a huge trade in 2007 when the Rays sent him along with Brendan Harris and trade-headliner Delmon Young to the Twins in exchange for Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett and Eduardo Morlan.
Pridie has a total of 6 at-bats in the majors, playing in 11 games from 2008-2009 with the Twinkies. Since he was hitting .186 (11 for 59) with Buffalo at the time of his call-up, the Mets are selling him hard as an above average defensive centerfielder.
“This guy is really a good defensive player,” manager Terry Collins said of Pridie. “Really, really good.”
According to Webster’s Dictionary, “good” is better than “bad.”
Let’s play some baseball!
