HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

In 2002 we turned John Valentin, an aging and injury- prone former shortstop into a fair enough utility man.

The Mets appear to want the same thing in 2003 with Jay Bell. Bell is expected to be better defensively than Valentin, and should hit somewhat.

I remember attending a game a few years back in Florida. Jay Bell, then with the Pirates hit a 3-run game-winning homer in the 10th inning to beat the Marlins 3-0.

Jay Bell scored the winning run of the 2001 World Series, scoring from third base on Luis Gonzalez' bloop single over a drawn-in infield as the Diamondbacks came from behind in the bottom of the ninth inning of the seventh game to defeat the Yankees, 3-2.

I hated him with the Pirates. He was pretty good and played well against the Mets. Did a good job with the D-backs until last year. Talked about retiring this year, too bad he didn't. I thought he was a nice pick up, good vet off the bench but when not injured he has been horrible. Time to retire.

I love the Mets, but they are notorious for signing people that only seem to excel against THEM. Bell was a pain in the ass during that play-off series with Arizona. Everytime I turned around he was on base. Now we get him and he carries a limp bat.

Brian, I don't think Jay was being mean to that kid. I deduce that he was kidding with him. He does carry a reputation as a very nice fellow, so I'm sure there probably is a little more to this tale.

As for Bell himself, I'm a little surprised he only has one extra-base hit this year. Last time I checked, there was no kryptonite in or around Shea Stadium.

I wish Jay would have been given more of a chance to play in his last 2 years. I do know he had some injuries, but I think some of those were from trying TOO HARD to play full time. He has NEVER sat on the bench and he needs to play a lot for his timing. I think he would STILL be a great player on ANY team if they would let him play! He can move runners over and get an occassional good hit. You can't judge the man's career by his last 2 seasons. NO WAY! I have met Jay MANY times at batting practice. He was always sweet, but rather shy! He signed my hat and let me take some pictures. I have sent him mail several times with pictures and cards to sign and he always signs them and returns them. I will miss him greatly and hope he DOES come back into baseball full time in a year or so. Any Jay Bell fans PLEASE feel free to e-mail me.

Not only was he supposed to compete for 3B, but he promised to make life unpleasant in the clubhouse if he did not win the job. Oh, and he was also brought in to be a role model for the younger players. Gotta luv those post-Subway-Series, early 2000's Mets.
