What did the Marlins end up with in the Piazza or Delgado deals? Or the Twins for Santana? All too many "bright shining star" prospects turn to mud. But a proven veteran with at least 2 years of ML behind him is credible, even if it turns into less than promised.Bill Metsiacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-2286275701617288792014-10-25T15:45:29.075-04:002014-10-25T15:45:29.075-04:00We once traded a superstar (Seaver) for multiple p...We once traded a superstar (Seaver) for multiple pieces.

Said there needs are starting pitching and catching if Russell Martin leaves.<br />The Mets set up pretty good with the Pirates,they have OF's that the METS could use.<br />I was wondering what you guys see,in Alen Hanson? Switch hitting SS,hit leadoff in AA.<br />Do you think the Mets could pull off a Gee-Niese-Plawecki deal for Bell and Hanson? <br />Or is that too much or too little?<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-25757438724636225332014-10-25T10:55:54.738-04:002014-10-25T10:55:54.738-04:00@Brian Joura

Since we have a glut at second base, murphys salary is expendable. Same with the 3 headed monster that is Gee, Niese and Colon. If we want to add we must first subtract.

Then the pirates showed him $5M and he sure as hell signed. I wish our owners/front office had it in them to go above and beyond to sign elite amateur talent. Id offer Plawecki, Niese and Matt Reynolds for Bell. <br /><br />Murphy is totally underappreciated. I know his defense @ 2B leaves something to be desired but the guy consistently rakes. Doesn't strike out much. I feel like he's the type of hitter who would fit in perfectly with the Giants, Cards or Royals. Guys who just put the ball in play and shoot the gaps rather than trying to hit the ball outta the park every time up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
