I hope Memorial Day finds you well (I never have understood how people wish me "HAPPY Memorial Day... it is like saying Happy Good Friday, Happy Passover, or Happy September 11")<br /><br />Where do I start...<br /><br />1. I believe that there would be considerable fan push back on starting over at this point in the 2018 season, unless you cut off the head of the snake. A replacement of the General Manager with a young, exciting, ex-player, who can replace the VPs and heads of the Minor League teams and Draft with young dudes that understand how to evaluate talent these days past sitting behind home plate and holding a radar gun (I could be wrong... after the Milwaukee series, the fans might accept anything today).<br /><br />2. If you announce that you are taking the team into a complete rebuild, you can then operate the rest of this year like you are still in camp.<br /><br />3. You need complete support of the Wilpon family, Saul Katz, and John Ricco (forget any thoughts of firing Ricco... the owners would never allow that). Without that, you are wasting your time here.<br /><br />4. Eat money. I mean, big money. DFA ALL of the guys due to become free agents next season. Try to work out trades for them as best as you can. Cabrera should get you a decent chip. Familia two.<br /><br />5. FINALLY... work out a deal with David Wright<br /><br />6. DFA Vargas, Wheeler, and Robles<br /><br />7. For now... for now... hold on to Cespedes, Bruce, Frazier, Swarzak, and Lagares, all for different reasons. Lagares is unmarkatable due to his season ending injury. Cespedes is hampered by injuries and massive contract. Bruce has no productivity and at least is a stable influence in a team with limited outfield talent. Frazier is cool and I would like a look at Swarzak for a month before I decide on him.<br /><br />8. Fill the Vegas rotation with AAAA fodder until we move to Syracuse. There is no reason to blow up our prospect ERAs there anymore. Send Oswalt, Flexen, and Conlon back to Binghamton to finish 2018 there.<br /><br />9. Creat a new rotation by putting the starters back where they pitched most of their career... deGrom, Syndergaard, Matz, Lugo, Gsellman<br /><br />10. Make Alonso, Guillorme, Rosario, and Frazier my starting infield. Keep Dom in Vegas learning how to play the outfield. My two UTs would be Flores and McNeil<br /><br />11. Make Plawecki and Nido my catchers.<br /><br />12. My outfield would be Conforto, Cespedes, Bruce, Nimmo, and Kaczmarski. Frankly, the only guy here that would play every day is Nimmo as my leadoff hitter.<br /><br />I could go on...<br /><br /><br />Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-67312835117721257362018-05-28T08:24:14.779-04:002018-05-28T08:24:14.779-04:00I, along with many Mets farmlands, hope for you to...I, along with many Mets farmlands, hope for you to be GM, Reese.
