The Mets on Friday added two new left-handed hitters to their roster: Outfielder Matt Watson and infielder Mike Glavine. The latter is of course the kid brother of the disappointing Met hurler, and his pedestrian performance as a backup in Norfolk was easily overlooked by an organization run by Wilpon & Son. Watson, who at least can be considered worthy of a look, is coming off a shameful Rookie-ball “rehab assignment” that — imagine! — just happened to coincide with the Cyclones’ playoff appearance.
Well, we wish the dubious new Mets luck anyhow. Glavine is wearing No. 27 (formerly the property of Met/Norfolk teammate Jason Middlebrook); and Watson wears No. 50. Watson by the way is also the latest link in the Ed Hearn Trade Chain.
