March 31, 200521 yr NEW YORK -- The New York Mets signed catcher Mike DiFelice to a minor league contract on Thursday, four days after he was let go by the Florida Marlins. DiFelice, 35, hit .280 with two RBIs in spring training for the Marlins. He then asked for his unconditional release and Florida gave it to him. DiFelice is a career .239 hitter with 28 home runs and 157 RBIs in the majors. The Mets are his ninth organization since he made his big league debut in 1996 with St. Louis. Last year, he hit .136 in 13 games with Detroit before joining the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 31. http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/met...-mets-headlines

Does he expect he'll have an easier time making it to the bigs again with the Mets? Did he feel blocked by Treanor and Willingham? Strange. It looked like he had the edge to make the team here.
