Add Wilmers' 1B TC's and he's way ahead.<br /><br />Wilmer has 4 times the chance in twice the innings at as a MINF than 3B and only 9 more errors.

Gonzalez has pitched so much better than Dunn this year. Makes one wonder if the Dunn pick was a dumb first round pick. 1.56 WHIP, 6.8 Ks /9, 5.04 ERA. Lots and lots of minor league Mets pitchers doing better.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-14559241575021937662017-07-29T11:23:45.152-04:002017-07-29T11:23:45.152-04:00By the way, I think we did all right with the 10th...By the way, I think we did all right with the 10th pick in the 2014 draft in Conforto.

They need to spend some money and fill out holes. <br />I would sign either Wade davis or Greg Holland this offseason. 5year 80 million dollars. That would have been money well spent instead of trading for Ramos.<br /><br />I also heard a suggestion by one of the sport gurus(either Heyman or Rosenthal) suggested someone take the whole contract of Justin Upton on and get Mike Fulmer as part of the package. If this is at all possible I would do it in a second and just keep Conforto in Center.

As a future major leaguer, let's see how good he is. Let's see their plan for Ramos too. Staying or not?

Let TJ get TJ surgery and do it the right way. No ifs ands or buts about about it Sandy, don't mess with another players health. When he comes back he can fight for 2nd base with Flores and Cecchini. <br />Now onto the Ramos trade. Unless they are gonna flip him right away for some younger prospects as part of big package deal, I am not in favor of this trade. He will only be around for one more year and you gave up 2 prospects that I was hoping would be the next wave of talent coming through our system. Merendy more so than Ricardo. Why make this trade when you can just spend money in the offseason to build a bullpen? Nothing worse than wasted talent.Zozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328187548616168708noreply@blogger.com
