The Latest On: Jose Valverde; David Wright

Jose Valverde Signing: The Mets have recently signed RHP Jose Valverde to a Minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. This comes one day after Mets' GM Sandy Alderson said the Mets were likely done signing free agents of significance. While Valverde isn't a scrub, he isn't anything of significance either. Once upon a time, Valverde was one of the games' best closers. At 35, Jose provides valuable veteran leadership to an otherwise young bullpen. I'll be rooting for Jose to make the club by March 31st. 

David Wright: David wright spoke with reporters today in Port St. Lucie and said he wants to win again. Since being called up in July of 2004, David has seen just three winning seasons, and one playoff birth. Now at 31, Wright is ready to win again. Perhaps his comments should've been said at next year's Spring Training, when the team realistically will compete in the National League East. In the meantime, let's hope the 2014 Mets have Lady Luck on their side and can help David's wish come true....as well as ours.
