Shea comes tumbling down
Stadium Page has some new pictures of the Shea Demolition. As you can see, the left field stands are gone. Right field is the next to go.
The way it’s been coming down this month, Shea will be totally gone in a few weeks.
See more at the Stadium Page.

Sanchez will be part of the new Mets bullpen.
The Mets re-signed Duaner Sanchez to a one-year, $1,687,500 contract, avoiding arbitration.
Sanchez will be part of the revamped bullpen with Frankie Rodriguez and J.J. Putz. Although he struggled last season, Omar Minaya expressed hope at the Winter Meetings, Sanchez will come back to his 2006 form.
The fill story is online over at the new NYSD.

Maybe the Mets Newest Pitcher (dbking/wikipedia)
Our friend Matt Cerrone of Metsblog reports from various places the Mets are close to signing RHP Tim Redding to a one-year deal worth about $2.5 million.
To me it’s an interesting signing, because Redding would be the No. 5 pitcher on the club. If the club comes in and signs Derek Lowe or Oliver Perez, then it’s an pretty good rotation.
It also takes pressure off the young kids like Jon Niese or Bobby Parnell who can go to Buffalo in the beginning of the season and get called up later on in case of injury.

Here are some birdseye shots of Shea and Citi Field taken today from WCBS 88. As you can see the upper deck is now a third down and that’s in a week, so in a few weeks the inside of the building will be stripped.
And Citi Field is looking sharp in the background.
Happy New Year!

The upper deck under attack (StadiumPage.com)
Our friends at the Stadium Page have some new Shea demo pictures up from the last week. As you can see they are now taking down the upper deck. You can also see some Citi Field pictures as well.
It won’t be long until the old girl is entirely gone.
