Mets Contacting Jerry Hairston Jr

[Daddyzander]

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Mets have made contact with free agent utilityman Jerry Hairston Jr.
Hairston's ability to play both the infield and outfield is attractive to the Mets, who will have key contributors Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran coming off surgeries this year. Hairston, 34, batted .251/.315/.394 with 10 home runs and 39 RBI in 383 at-bats between the Reds and Yankees last season.

Thanks for the news. Now I can stop worrying!

Hairston is terrible. No thanks.

Arizona is supposedly close to releasing Eric Byrnes - He might be a decent option as a 4th OF, assuming Pagan is in the starting lineup. I would rather Ankiel, but he is looking for a starting job somewhere.

If it was Scott Hairston, I would be interested
