Observation:
It
would take one hell of an injury to Yadier Molina to pull this one off, even as
a 2013 loner. It’s a shame because there are a lot of great pitching prospects
here, on a team already with five of them (love Gast’s PCL ERA: 0.00)
They do have more pitching than they need as well as Kolten Wong who could play 2B or flip in another deal. Maybe they'll need help in some other area that the Mets can help.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to go through this exercise at least twice a year to keep track of what other teams have.
ReplyDeleteThis is what Sandy's VPs do all day.
I certainly hope they're doing it. If you and I can rummage through other teams' young prospects to find fits for the Mets (because WE LIKE IT) then they had better have lists they update constantly and have greater detail.
