If anyone gets hurt,or multiple players get hurt the team will have ready replacements!<br /><br />Sorry Mack I don't see expansion coming! But if there was I'd love to see a 154 game schedule. Stay with the 25 man roster, but have a universally use the DH!<br /><br />Have a great evening <br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-3037206383292763602014-11-22T16:11:58.350-05:002014-11-22T16:11:58.350-05:00Adam -

He's certain to start in Vegas, and with Dykstra gone, there will really be no one for Wally to play in front of him. I think he may be a real sleeper in the system. Kid can flat out hit, possibly for more power than people give him credit for. He controls the zone beautifully (that certainly has this FO's attention). And he hits righty.<br /><br />Also, from what I hear, he's a solid defender at 1B, and a good, smart kid. He's my pick for a (somewhat) under the radar breakout guy in 2015.<br /><br />I have no idea if the kid ever played another position in college. He would be really valuable if he could play some LF. He DH'd some early this year because of injury, not defensive issues. But he's never played anywhere but 1B in the minors. As it stands, he'd be strictly the short side of the Duda platoon post-Cuddyer (or post-Cuddyer injury.) Not a recipe for a lot of AB's. <br /><br />But an interesting guy, and I believe, a professional hitter.That Adam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687771146317665283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-9883021665490080132014-11-22T15:04:26.739-05:002014-11-22T15:04:26.739-05:00Cleveland won 85 games and drew 17,000 fans per ga...Cleveland won 85 games and drew 17,000 fans per game....that's aroung 1.5 million attendance The Marlins and Tampa struggle for Fans.

Keeping them at 25, when teams carry 1 or 2 more pitchers than in years long gone by, is very tough on fringe non-pitchers making, and staying in, the bigs. Pretty unfair to them Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-67474706751474600532014-11-22T11:50:03.437-05:002014-11-22T11:50:03.437-05:00I'm particularly sad to see Satin go.

If Leathersich does not make Mets out of spring training (seems unlikely if they are shopping for a lefty reliever) then I very much look forward particularly to Boyd and Leather in Vegas from day 1, with Boyd hopefully playing full time. If Nimmo is ready, definitely challenge him there too. If Puello is still here, play him every day. He would not be holding anyone back. If not, play Taijeron there every day.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-4710970558335217652014-11-22T10:54:49.113-05:002014-11-22T10:54:49.113-05:00Sounds fine by me in all accounts..... time for le...Sounds fine by me in all accounts..... time for leathersich, nimmo, jayce Boyd and company to fill the vegas roster with prospects instead of aaaa veterans.

Wilmer will hit more than anyone expects this year, and people will then say "Wow, I missed that one" as Wilmer makes like Bam Bam with his club - err - bat.<br /><br />32 teams? Depends on the cities that might be considered. I'd prefer a 26 or 27 man roster. Then teams can protect their guys from TJ surgery by lighter use, and perhaps some borderline hitters won't be squeezed out of baseball.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-85487426677834635432014-11-22T08:28:47.092-05:002014-11-22T08:28:47.092-05:00I stopped caring about the Wilmer Flores haters a ...I stopped caring about the Wilmer Flores haters a long time ago. At this point its simply become routine to still argue about his defense. Even after he hits bombs. Has a 6 rbi game, and turns a double play, we still have to point out the error in a random game and the sky falls on his 'lack of range'..........<br />He will not cost, nor produce, any more significant games then anybody else the Mets qre reportedly looking into. And if he hits 15 himerst and bats .270 next year everyone will shut up, just like we all did when lagares kept his batting average over .280, Duda hit 'in the clutch' and managed 30 homers, etc etc etc...............<br />Ok im done...... :)Ernest Dovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12054861033443392454noreply@blogger.com
