Big show, Little success

I'm listening to the first game of the Mets-Diamondbacks doubleheader over the Internet, and Mark Little was just caught in a rundown for the second out in the bottom of the 8th. This seems as good a time as any to unveil my prediction that Little will be one of the most useless Mets over the next two months. He's a 30-year-old outfielder with just over 200 career at bats, in which he's hit .251 with three homers and 18 RBI. The Mets recently acquired him in a deal for pitcher John Thomson, and the Rockies took Jay Payton (and Mark Corey and Robert Stratton). I'm guessing New York took Little over some other non-impact player because he can replace Payton in the outfield, but I just see no way he can help us.
