The New York Mets re-sign Fernando Tatis
The Mets have re-signed 33-year old righty swinging 3B/OF Fernando Tatis to a 1-year, $1.17 million dollar contract. He played in 92 games for the Mets in 2008 and he was 81 for 273 (.297 avg, .853 OPS) with 33 runs scored, 11 homers and 47 RBIs. Tatis just needed a chance to show what he could do and he rewarded the Mets for giving it to him. Tatis has now played in 783 games in his major league career and he is 699 for 2,646 (.264 avg, .791 OPS) with 379 runs scored, 103 homers, 394 RBIs and 46 stolen bases. This was a good and relatively cheap move for the Mets as Tatis really played well for them in 2008.
