We might have to throw in another player, maybe Colon, but Wheeler night be a substitute for Thor. If they diagnose Thor with a grade I strain now, or soon, they should be able to heal it with rest and rehab. Then comes the real job - finding out what in his motion is aggravating it.Steve from Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317923693948342010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-55770724789672805992015-04-12T11:59:27.741-04:002015-04-12T11:59:27.741-04:00Also, if Syndergaard is on his way to TJ surgery -...Also, if Syndergaard is on his way to TJ surgery -- the forearm soreness is a telling precursor -- then SA no longer has the chip he needs.<br /><br />If Noah is out for a year-plus, they really can't trade away Matz.<br /><br />James PrellerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-88457706142453124282015-04-12T01:29:42.700-04:002015-04-12T01:29:42.700-04:00I love Tulo and would be very, very excited to see...I love Tulo and would be very, very excited to see him join the Mets. It would be a Piazza-type move.<br /><br />We can quibble about the cost -- I have no attachment to Syndergaard, but would hate to give up Molina, for example -- but I understand that the cost would be hard to accept.<br /><br />But, but, but.<br /><br />That's why you build a farm system.<br /><br />His salary is reasonable for the talent. He is a great player, and I'm not convinced that many fans on the East Coast fully appreciate that. <br /><br />The injury aspect is a big deal. I get that and can't really argue it. Except that . . . provided my medical team approved . . . I'd take the risk. With Tulo, he'd instantly become the best player on the team. <br /><br />What I question is: 1) Would the Rockies deal him? 2) Do the Wilpons really want to be great? and 3) Does Sandy have it in his belief system to make that kind of deal?<br /><br />In all three cases, I don't think so.<br /><br />James PrellerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-33191113347189458802015-04-11T21:08:48.698-04:002015-04-11T21:08:48.698-04:00Steve

I mean, if he takes us to one World Series, his salary is paid for just from the extra BIS (butts in seats) factor. Martinez was worth his salary just for the credibility he brought the team, even though he couldn't really pitch by the end of his contract. Santana was worth it, both for what he did on and off the field. We really only missed what Gomez became from that trade. I asked the question mainly to get other people's feelings. Yours are very clear. I , for myself have feelings along the same line. Tulo would take us from a possible contender for the WC with a question mark to a definite pennant contender, and definitely relevant again. It would be the Hernandez/Carter trades rolled into one. But the question about his long term health does need to be asked.

I guess if it slows him down (I figure 2 years before that happens - if it happens), he could move to 2B or 1B. If that happened, is he still worth it?

Even if Tulo is on the table, I still wait just to see if he himself is healthy and actually the best SS in the game.<br /><br />Also, that's too much talent to give up right there. Rosario is the one I'd have problems dealing at this point. I think his potential alone keeps him out of that deal. I'd put Jrena in instead.
