Kris Benson won't forget the Maine
2006-01-21 12:44
by Bob Timmermann

The Mets and Orioles made a deal swapping Kris Benson for Jorge Julio and John Maine.

This a trade involving three players who are all obstensibly good, but don't have the numbers to show that they are.

Benson is the third straight Mets player to play Santa Claus at the team Christmas party to leave the team, following John Franco and Mike Cameron. GMs throughout baseball are asking the Mets to have David Wright play the role in 2006.

Oh, and if you still believe in Santa Claus, well, Benson was just playing one of Santa's helpers because Santa Claus can't visit everybody before Christmas.
