Mets Acquire Who?

The Mets got who? Hu, that's who.

The Mets got shortstop Chin-lung Hu from the Dodgers for left-handed pitcher Mike Antonini.

Hu, 26, hit .317 with four homers with Triple-A Albuquerque last season, and .130 in 23 at-bats for the Dodgers. Hu is a .299 career hitter over eight Minor League seasons, while hitting a whopping .191 as a big league hitter in 173 at-bats spread throughout four seasons.

Antonini, 25, had a 4.32 ERA in 23 starts for Double-A Binghamton last year and a 5.11 ERA in six starts for Triple-A Buffalo.

Hu was placed on the 40-man roster. It's a long shot he makes the team, but if he does, be prepared for a long season of Abbott and Costello skits.
