Interesting Signing: Frank Catalanotto

Nothing wrong with giving a guy a look and a spring training invite.

He's a longshot to make the team, but Frank can still hit a bit and is a solid citizen.

One thing is for sure, if he does get any at-bats this year with the Mets it will be against righthanders only.

Catalanotto is one of the worst lefty on lefty hitters in the game, and in the last 3 seasons he has hit .167 against them in only 36 at-bats, while hitting .274 against righty's in over 680 at-bats.
