HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

The result of a TERRIBLE trade from Franceour. This guy does nothing and will be gone in the offseason, guaranteed. Can't even catch the ball!

The worst trade of 2010. I know there were others. Still can't figure out his value vs. Frenchy's value.

Who'd have thought that four years later, this guy would be the proud owner of two championship rings?
Another Joaquin Arias fun fact: He was originally signed by the Yankees, and went to the Rangers as a throw-in in the Alex Rodriguez / Alfonso Soriano trade. The Rangers were given a choice of Arias or an equally-obscure minor leaguer named Robinson Cano. Think they'd like a do-over on that one?

Here's a deal that didn't go the Mets' way. Arias was traded from the Rangers for a struggling Jeff Francoeur in 2010. He gave the Mets 30 at-bats and a .200 average; Francoeur hit 20 home runs with 85 RBI, 22 steals and a .285 average for the Royals in 2011.
Arias was just a plug to fill a roster spot in that mediocre 2010 season. He ended up going to the Royals organization following the year, as well.

Joaquin Arias was inconsequential with the Mets and is one of those guys who stuns you when you look at his ledger and see he spent all or part of nine seasons in the majors. And he wasn't terrible, batting .265.
In his final game with the club in 2009, he batted between legends Mike Hessman and Jesus Feliciano in the lineup. What a team we had that year.
In 2008, when he was in the Rangers system, I sent him an autograph request through the mail care of the Oklahoma RedHawks (now the Oklahoma City Dodgers). He didn't respond, unfortunately.
