January 16, 2008 -- The Mets will be bringing back Jose Valentin, the player's agent told The Post last night, giving him a minor league deal with an invitation to major league spring training. Valentin, 38, was a huge contributor for the Mets in 2006, hitting .271 with 18 homers as their second baseman. But last year he played in only 51 games due to a partially torn ACL and a broken tibia. According to agent David Elston, Valentin is currently rehabbing his ACL (he had left replacement surgery on Sept. 25) and is unlikely to be doing baseball activities until mid-March. With a minor league pact, Valentin obviously is not guaranteed to make the club. But Elston said Valentine didn't consider retiring. Valentin will earn $1 million once he's back in the majors, though the Mets currently have plenty of options at second base, including Luis Castillo, Damion Easley, Ruben Gotay and Anderson Hernandez. http://www.nypost.com/sports/mets/mets.htm -- Alex Rodriguez 1975/07/27 Age32 NYY 13 (3B/SS) 2007 ~ Ｃａｒｅｅｒ : Home Run:518，Hits:2250，RBI:1503，R:1501，SB:265 1.The only player to reach 35HR,100 runs & 100 RBI in 10 consecutive seasons 2.9-Time Silver Slugger Award(96，98～03，05，07) 3.Achievements:４-Hank Aaron Award，3-AL MVP，２-RBI Title ５-AL Home Run Title，１-AL Hits Leader & Batting Title，２-Gold Glove Award --
