...Anon - <br /><br />I've heard no Mets interest in Ray.<br /><br />Regarding the current rotation... not sure if they are the best ever, but they have the potential of producing a sub 3.00 ERA together.<br /><br />You do that all season and, trust me, this is 90+ win team.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-9824075635551049692019-07-31T14:56:28.062-04:002019-07-31T14:56:28.062-04:00Mets should make up a package to get Robbie Ray.

I am leaning that way, but time always tells.<br /><br />On predicting talent and player development, i.e. Andres Gimenez. Everyone had him as the cannot miss/next big thing middle infielder. Right now, at a very early age, he is hitting like .244BA at AA Binghamton Rumble Ponies.<br /><br />Andres is very young and time is on his side.

I want to see what else comes down before the trading deadline ends.<br /><br />As for right now, we game up a AAA struggling starter and an A+ Starter with an injury history... for an ace with a year left.<br /><br />As of today, we have one of the best rotations in baseball.<br /><br />I was never a fan of Stroman in school because of his height... but I was wrong.

Having said that, why would you break up a team you thought could win it all in less than one year?<br /><br />It just doesn't make sense. What has killed the Mets this year is the BP. 21 blown saves or so. Now imagine if the Mets had blow only 10 of those 21. Would the Mets be on at least the WC? yes they would.<br /><br />But after building the so called "come and get us team" the Mets now want to reverse course and trade the starters for prospects? while trading their last 2 best pitching prospects for a starter?<br /><br />They don't know what the hell they are doing. It makes absolutely no sense.<br />Unless they pull a rabbit out of you know...the Agent of Doom rear, I just can't see it.<br /><br />Apologies Mack, just frustrated.Viperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527334953909658283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-9239842374918376072019-07-29T11:08:21.391-04:002019-07-29T11:08:21.391-04:00Viper.

They never give any plan enough time to work.<br /><br />They trade for Stroman but they want to trade Wheeler and Diaz and possibly Syndergaard. <br /><br />They want to build the farm system but keep trading the best prospects. Then they want to trade Wheeler, Diaz and Syndergaard for prospects?<br /><br />But that would leave them without a closer, and two ace type pitchers?<br /><br />Why couldn't these idiots just extend Wheeler and fix the pen?<br /><br />Mets, owned by idiots, run by imbeciles.Viperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527334953909658283noreply@blogger.com
