What will Snelling do?

A quick browse of the net this morning shows there is a bit of talk about where Chris Snelling could end up if he declines the assignment to AAA with the Phillies. Here are two Mets blogs that expressed some interest in adding Snelling as another outfielder, and there is a bit of (perhaps not too serious) chatter on this Mariners blog, that suggest he could end up back there.

Both the Mets and the Mariners have underperformed this year, with the Mariners struggling at the bottom of the AL West - 16.5 games behind the Angels, and the Mets 4th out of 5 in the NL East, 7.5 games behind the Phillies. Its probably no coincedence then that these teams have been mentioned as probable signers for Snelling. I think that surely either of these teams would be better options for Snelling than AAA Lehigh Valley, who have stank all year. But I guess it depends a bit on the money and the opportunities. Snelling is still quite young at 26, so he has plenty of time up his sleeve.
