Scott Hairston says Mets did not make him an offer last winter
MetsBlog — According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, Scott Hairston said the Mets did not make him an offer to return during the off-season. “I get the feeling that they wanted to go in a different direction,” Hairston said, according to Rubin. “There was an opportunity — a slight opportunity — for me to come […]
New York Mets May 18, 2013Hairston: Mets wanted 'different direction'
Mets Blog | ESPN New York — CHICAGO -- Scott Hairston, who slugged 20 homers in 377 at-bats with the Mets last season, indicated Friday that he did not get a strong sense the front office wanted him to re-sign with the organization. So Hairston, after stalling, eventually signed a two-year, $5 million deal with the Chicago Cubs on Feb. 10 that included bonuses based on usage. He faces the Mets in a weekend series at Wrigley Field. “I get the feeling that they wanted to go in a different direction,” Hairston told ESPNNewYork.

Padres 4, Cubs 2: Everybody Loves A Comeback
Gaslamp Ball — Eric Stults pitched a solid game, allowing just 2 runs over 6.2 innings, but the offense was the story today. After struggling through the first 7 innings, the bats came alive in the 8th and scored 4 runs in an impressive 2-out rally. They're going to have a happy flight home. 7th Inning After six and a half scoreless innings, Scott Hairston got bored and hit a two-run shot to left field.

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Cubs outfielder Scott Hairston hit his second home run in Monday's win against San Diego, a solo shot. Hairston was brought in to mash left-handers, and that's just what he did Monday. Padres left-hander Clayton Richard made the start and Hairston hit the home run in his first at-bat against him Monday night. Hairston has just two hits in 24 at-bats against left-handers, but both have been home runs.

Giants swept out of San Diego
McCovey Chronicles — For some reason, this game keeps coming up. Scott Hairston games can scar the psyche, apparently. It comes up now because that was the last five-game losing streak for the Giants. And it ended in a much, much more discouraging fashion. So if you want to go into hey-this-stuff-happens mode, you can note that this stuff most certainly does happen, even in the best of seasons. Show of hands if you're in hey-this-stuff-happens mode. Right. Didn't think so. No, you're probably in scorched-earth mode, where everything is horrible and the Giants are horrible and Jason Marquis is horrible but ...

Cincinnati Reds April 23, 2013Lineup: Schierholtz sits vs. lefty Holland
Chicago Cubs Blog | ESPN Chicago — CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum is sticking with his mostly right-handed lineup when his team begins a three-game interleague series against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. With lefty Derek Holland starting for the Rangers, Sveum will start Dave Sappelt in center field and Scott Hairston in right. That means .343 hitter Nate Schierholtz starts on the bench. He leads the team with an-on base percentage of .410. Second baseman Darwin Barney makes his season debut coming off a knee injury, and Alberto Gonzalez starts at third base.

Chicago Cubs March 23, 2013Cubs' Hairston homers before game rained out

Chicago Cubs March 8, 2013Hairston can relate to Brewers GM's pain
Chicago Cubs Blog | ESPN Chicago — MESA, Ariz. -- Chicago Cubs outfielder Scott Hairston knows all too well what Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin is going through. Melvin was bitten by a scorpion Wednesday night sending him to the hospital for three hours. Hairston was stung by one back in 2010. "It was early, before taking the kids to school," Hairston said Thursday morning before the Cubs played the White Sox. "I stepped outside in my sandals and it felt like I was stepping on glass.

Padres Who Have Hit For The Cycle (With Other Teams)
Gaslamp Ball — As I'm sure you're well aware, the San Diego Padres have never had a player hit for the cycle.It's a distinction they share with only the Florida/ Miami Marlins- a franchise which hasn't existed half as long. The Pads also haven't had a no-hitter, but that's a subject for another day. I saw something about Scott Hairston's cycle from last season and got to wondering how many players who were Padres at one point or another have hit for the cycle with another team. After perusing the list of all the players who have accomplished the feat, I found sixteen players who fit the bill. Nine of...
San Diego Padres March 2, 2013Den Dekker likely to get Vegas center stage
Mets Blog | ESPN New York — PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- As Andres Torres, Scott Hairston and Kirk Nieuwenhuis all nursed injuries last March, the Mets seriously had to weigh center-field prospect Matt den Dekker breaking camp on the Opening Day roster. It ultimately did not materialize because Torres and Hairston came north (although Torres became reinjured in the opener). Adam Rubin Center field prospect Matt den Dekker may make his major league debut in 2013. “They told me it was a possibility if there were injuries, but it was definitely a long shot,” said den Dekker, a fifth-round pick in 2010 from the University...
New York Mets February 19, 2013Crazy Legs Campana Headed to the Desert
The Cub Reporter — Last week, the Cubs outrighted Tony Campana off thier 40-man to make room for Scott Hairston. Today, the Diamondbacks agreed to give up two pitchers for the speedster...RHP Erick Leal and RHP Jesus Castillo. Judging by the quality going out, I wouldn't expect much on the quality coming in, but maybe the Cubs unearth one of those diamonds in the rough. Leal, a 6'3" righty out of Venezuela, will be playing his age 18 season and Castillo is a 6'2" righty also out of Venezuela and will be playing his age 17 season. In both cases, plenty of time for them to learn the "Cubs Way." Nick Piecoro had b...
