We got Estrada! Thank God We Didnt Get Yorvit!

When I heard the Mets were going out after Torrealba, I kept trying to figure out why. I remember watching him play in San Francisco and figured he was just a career backup catcher at best. Why on Earth would the Mets want him? Last week, I was worried that we would be stuck with this jerk for three years and dreaded seeing him in the lineup each day.

But through the miracle of Jesus and Omar Minaya (note photo):We just got Johnny Estrada for Mota! Decent catcher, crappy pitcher, no Yorvit! Great move Omar and welcome Johnny.
