In 2010, the Mets thought they had signed the offensive power hitter they really needed. He had just hit over 30 home runs and drove in over 100 runs in two consecutive seasons.
What they got was a player who never played a complete season, never batted .260, never hit more than 12 home runs and did not drive in runs.
No matter how it is analyzed, the production never measured up to the amount of financial commitment that was made by the Mets.
