Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, May 02, 2008
Just how or when the Mets will choose to address the Carlos Delgado problem is uncertain at this point, but that hasn’t stopped the club from adding another first baseman/outfielder to the roster at Triple-A New Orleans. Valentino Pascucci, released from the Phillies this week, has joined the Zephyrs after batting .232 with one home run and seven RBIs in 25 games for Lehigh Valley.
The righthanded-hitting Pascucci, 29, showed some power last season, when he led the Pacific Coast League with 34 home runs. He also finished fifth in on-base percentage (.389), fifth in slugging (.577) and fifth in extra-base hits (62). The Zephyrs’ current first baseman, Michel Abreu, also 29, is batting .272 (28-for-103) with two homers and 10 RBIs in 26 games.

1. Raskolnikov Posted: May 02, 2008 at 05:55 PM (#2766605)Let's hope that Pascucci shows last year wasn't a fluke.
I'm not convinced that a lumbering corner guy that couldn't hang in Japan is really the answer to any of our problems. But, a fine little signing, I guess. Better Delgado insurance than we had previously.
so where was he in 2005? I know he played in Japan in 2006--but his minor league record jumps from 2004 to 2007
was he injured in 05?
