Figgins headed to the Mets?
Let’s preface this with the fact that when we first saw the headline on this report, we thought there was much more to this rumor. It’s not ridiculous to think it could happen, but it’s based mostly on the fact that two New York Mets minor leaguers were scratched just before game time.
Ruben Tejada and Fernando Martinez were both scratched from the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons’ lineup about 10 minutes before their game on Friday. This prompted speculation that one or both were being moved in a trade, with sources indicating that the Mets were chatting with the Seattle Mariners.
But, Ken Rosenthal of Foxsports.com says that they were bumped from the lineup, not because they are being traded, but because they are being promoted. This leads to another round of speculation, which might indicate that either Luis Castillo or Jeff Francoeur (or both) are being traded to Seattle. One would have to think that because sources tell Rosenthal that neither of the kids was put on waivers, so they can’t be traded.
The rumor is that the Mets would be getting Chone Figgins, who was being shopped at the trade deadline. Seems like Seattle went out and had a fire sale after acquiring top names like Cliff Lee and Figgins in the offseason. Obviously, those moves didn’t translate to anything but frustration.
Stay tuned.

This is getting a bit a lot more subjective, but I a lot prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool functions like ‘Mixview’ that let you rapidly see associated albums, songs, or other users associated to what you’re listening to. Clicking on a single of those will center on that item, and one more set of “neighbors” will occur into view, allowing you to navigate close to exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” can be fantastic fun, letting you discover other people with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to some playlist produced based on an amalgamation of what all your close friends are listening to, which can be enjoyable. Individuals concerned with privacy will be relieved to learn it is possible to avoid the public from seeing your individual listening habits in the event you so select.
