Pridie?
Where does Jason Pridie fit in? Isn’t he being invited to spring training?
Wed, 02/10/2010 – 8:08am — Ranjrz5
Pridie wore #11 with the
Pridie wore #11 with the Twins… since the Mets just DFA’s Jack Egbert to add Pridie to the 40-man roster, perhaps he will take the #35 they had for Egbert.
Wed, 02/10/2010 – 5:50pm — gored82
Oh well…
Egbert, we hardly knew ye…
But coming off a 5.05 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in AAA, something tells me it won’t be a big loss…he strikes me as more of an 85 than a 35, LOL…

Does Jacobs return in 27, or does Figueroa keep it?
