Fare-Thee-Well, F-Mart

One time top Mets prospect turned not-so-sure-what-to-think-about-him-being-claimed-off-of-waivers prospect Fernando Martinez has been claimed by the American League Houston Astros.
Quite honestly, typing out that sentence just kind of messed up my brain. Between that run-on adjective and the phrase “AMerican League Houston Astros”, I need a rest.
Ah, well. Good luck to you, Fernando. Although it would absolutely drive me crazy if this happened, I truly do hope you work out all of your injury business and just get down to playing ball. By the way, although I really like this F-Mart framed auto and I’m glad I bought it, in light of how things turned out, I’m also really glad I only paid like $2 for it.
I’d really like to see Martinez do well in Houston… the idea of a 23-year-old being washed up is depressing.
So who does that leave in the OF? Bay, Hairston, and Torres, Ugh. I guess it is not any worse than Bay, Hairston, and Martinez. It is gonna be a tough one for the Metropolitans.
