For all I know they want him here and maintain some belief in him...but it's been an odd journer--especially last year at LV. If it's been a "development plan" it sure looks wacky.<br /><br />This is a situation where the Organization has not completed it's task....and the player hasn't either. Puello now has a choice to choose his next spot....or maybe stay?eraffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493607580550078769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-28220292902262253392015-03-31T00:29:36.186-04:002015-03-31T00:29:36.186-04:00If Puello was that unwanted by the FO, why wasn...If Puello was that unwanted by the FO, why wasn't he traded or released instead of benched?

Why did Wally sit Puello for long stretches knowing that his time was limited? One would figure that you play a 5 tool player everyday just in case it all comes together. That won't happen on the bench. (strike 1)<br /><br />2. Then Puello comes to ST and Collins plays everyone more than Puello. (strike 2)<br /><br />3. Sandy signs Mayberry who is a good pinch hitter but you don't lose a 5 tool player for a pinch hitter nobody wanted and who you got for 1M+. If you have any brains, you keep the 5 tool player for another year and either trade or release Mayberry. (strike 3)<br /><br />Now the Mets will lose Puello when Kevin Long can potentially make the adjustments that Puello needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-82291444624880387612015-03-30T10:28:01.409-04:002015-03-30T10:28:01.409-04:00His AB's look lifeless....total lack of aggres...His AB's look lifeless....total lack of aggression---drilled out of him?<br /><br />He needs a fresh start. The guy is looking at 1-0 and 2-0 fastballs. He's working himself to defensive 2 strike counts.<br /><br />He SHOULD sign elsewhere.... he can then re-start and making his obvious talent work--maybe it'll happen for him---seems like it cannot happen here.eraffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493607580550078769noreply@blogger.com
