Sure he's not Burnitz, but he isn't even the upside of Cliff Floyd yet either...

One thing I remember about the Candy Man were his enormous hands. When he held a baseball it looked like it was the size of a lemon. No wonder he had such great movement on his pitches. Not that it helped the Mets of course.

He was just cut by the Mets, and only 12 day shy of vesting $2 million for next year.

Heard he is a great guy, liked by team mates, played hard, but couldn't hit and the Mets have too many players like that this year. Replaced by AAA players that may have more upside.

Good luck to you Alex!

One of the great non-hitting position players in Mets history.

Doug was my favorite Met when I was a kid. I remember the inside-the-park home run he hit. He also won a Gold Glove in 1980. I think he was only the second or third Mets Gold Glove winner.

Doug and some of the other Mets players were once on an episode of "Eight is Enough", which was my favorite TV show. Doug actually had a speaking line on the show. Does anybody remember that? It was cool!

Does this guy no what a strike zone is? Seriously, you could throw the ball in the dirt 3 times and he would swing at all 3 of them.

I call him Johnny Fever. If you have to ask why then you're obviously very young.

Don't know how long he'll stick around though.

I grew up playing with Elliot in Union, N.J. Amazing ballplayer. I was playing 2nd base against him one game. He hit a ball 10 feet over my head. The ball kept rising and rising and went over the center field fence, over 410 feet. He was only 14 years old. He was all wrist. He would snap his wrist and the ball would just take off. Did not have to swing hard. He could play any sport and play better then anyone. He had that gift you just can not explain. He also was a very nice person and very well liked.

He was a good player for the Mets, but I couldn't understand why I never saw him on Kiner's Korner. After reading some of the above stories about his English, now I know why.

I'm still wondering why Omar signed this guy. Glad he isn't on the Mets anymore!
