The worst thing that Flores has going again...Reese,<br />The worst thing that Flores has going against him is Collins. Flores going 6 for 6 and then sitting the next day or two was a classic. <br /><br />Ohhhhh...he can't hit RH pitchers Collins says but if Flores gets no exposure, how does he get better? Didn't he get better towards the end of last season when exposed to right handed pitching? sure he did. <br /><br />But then, the Genius gifted Walker who was coming off surgery, a 5M raise. I can't help but to think that if you give Flores 500 at bats, he will put up a 25hrs, 80 rbi's and hit at least 270. All that for 15M less that can be used to extend deGrom this year.<br /><br />ViperAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-65108735073157643972017-02-10T11:26:39.757-05:002017-02-10T11:26:39.757-05:00Trade Duda for YnoaTrade Duda for YnoaMack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-90973370294820108842017-02-10T11:12:55.177-05:002017-02-10T11:12:55.177-05:00Flores could have stepped in at 1B last year but w...Flores could have stepped in at 1B last year but we got Loney and more Loney even when he was flailing helplessly after a hot 4-6 weeks to start his Mets career. We have to figure out how to get Wilmer out of the Skipper's doghouse. How is he going to learn to hit righthanders if he doesn't play against them?Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-83622630325465226642017-02-10T11:07:23.252-05:002017-02-10T11:07:23.252-05:00The Mets have a good team on paper. But as you poi...The Mets have a good team on paper. But as you pointed out, it all depends on health. If Wright and Duda get hurt, we know that Reyes can step into 3B and Flores into 1B so is nice to have that option. <br /><br />But if the rotation falters, is going to be a long long year. Harvey is an unknown at this point. (I wonder if he made a lamp out of his rib). <br /><br />Matz, when healthy, is a great pitcher but he gets hurt as much as d'Arnaud. <br /><br />Wheeler is nice to have but the expectations have to be very low. Something like an SP5 or BP arm. <br /><br />The only pitchers the Mets can count on are Syndergaard and deGrom who proved he can pitch with less in 2016. If he comes back totally healthy in 2017, the Mets will have at least 2 aces back to back.<br /><br />I also agree in that the Mets need to have youngsters playing everyday but Nets do a great job in playing veterans and sitting the up and coming players. Collins cannot learn new tricks at this point and Sandy isn't helping much.<br /><br />Players in the minor leagues need to see that their efforts will be rewarded with a promotion to the majors and a starting job. These Mets seem to give up on players after half a season. Lagares, Flores and Conforto are prime examples of this. They should be part of the new core instead they are the bench players.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what is more important if any player from Wright, Granderson, Walker and Bruce struggle. Will the Imbecile in the dugout play them according to present skills or based on pay scale. And if pay scale wins, is winning above all more important to these Mets or is it justifying play time for passed their prime players more important?<br /><br />The goal should be to win it all every year regardless of who sits. If veterans can no longer carry their weight, they should sit. <br /><br />ViperAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-26349416405119128832017-02-10T11:05:13.365-05:002017-02-10T11:05:13.365-05:00Who would want Duda right now?

I guess it solves the OF Jam by opening 1b to Bruce...??? ...I'm a fan of That.<br /><br />Pitcher Health is a Big Concern---- Matz is a constant Medical Consult... Wheeler, Harvey, deGrom have Faced a Live Surgeon more recently than a Live Batter.<br /><br />As for Home Grown---the Met's have a pretty solid assortment of Home Grown Guys who will be active/waiting in the Wings.... The Conforto situation is a bit frustrating, But GOOD TEAMS do not Hand Out starting positions to young players---young players kick down doors to get spots on a Good Team---that's how it is, now....and THAT is GREAT!!!! So, Conforto, Nimmo, Cheech, Smith, Rosario, ETC....Keep Kicking that door!!!eraffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493607580550078769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-20726122396279342012017-02-10T09:33:11.354-05:002017-02-10T09:33:11.354-05:00Jeff -

He is going to have to prove he can both stay healthy and consistently hit for power again. Then, maybe at the all-star break, the Mets could deal him off for a mid-range prospect, nothing more.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-75818302628307622552017-02-10T08:54:48.822-05:002017-02-10T08:54:48.822-05:00If Duda has a bad back and is injury prone, how wo...If Duda has a bad back and is injury prone, how would the Mets get something decent in return?
