Lewis outrighted to minor leagues, will elect free agency

The Mets announced that outfielder Fred Lewis has been outrighted to the minor leagues. However, he will supposedly reject his outright assignment and elect free agency.

Lewis hit .150 in a brief stint (18 games) with the Mets in 2012 as a September call-up.

Analysis: Lewis is a decent fourth outfielder but I don't think the Mets will miss him too much. He looked really promising when he first came up with San Francisco, but couldn't really stay healthy and resorted to a part time role. I'm sure he'll sign a minor league deal with someone, but I don't know how much playing time he'll actually get.
