    Mets, only 9 games out of the wild card, going for it

    The Mets have acquired catcher Kelly Shoppach from the Red Sox on a waiver claim in exchange for a player to be the named, New York announced (via Twitter).

    Shoppach, 32, hit .250/.327/.471 in 158 plate appearances with Boston this season and is a career .227/.316/.422 hitter. He's notably tougher on lefties, though, hitting .270/.364/.530 in his career against southpaws, and has thus been deployed primarly in platoons. Shoppach earns $1.35MM in 2012 and will be a free agent at season's end.

    They better trade Scott Hairston before the end of the month.

      Thole is fucking terrible, and Shoppach is a grizzled vet. Good move for the Mets.

        To add to Pete's point, he's a HUGE upgrade over mike nickeas and rob Johnson...those two are vomit.
