That said, the right contract may make him more appealing on the trade market. <br /><br />Fans generally are in a rush to "lock up" favorite players, but generally it's best to be cautious. We'll know a lot more a year from now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-59581429075482360822015-09-17T22:45:06.237-04:002015-09-17T22:45:06.237-04:00@ Gary: I agree with you, my support for Duda dimi...@ Gary: I agree with you, my support for Duda diminishes as time goes on.

Let him have next year to prove what he's worth while seeing what D. Smith does in Bingo/ Vegas. We have to sign YC because no one else is even close to his talent level this off season and the drop off if he leaves is huge. We need to be locked and loaded next year to capitalize on our pitching because the rest of our division will probably NEVER be this bad again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674150694486256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-53844596583693641702015-09-17T10:25:30.982-04:002015-09-17T10:25:30.982-04:00A question on Murphy and Duda:
Duda will get much...A question on Murphy and Duda:<br /><br />Duda will get much more expensive starting in 2016. Murph is a free agent and will likewise be expensive. Would the Mets be better off keeping Murph by signing him multi-year for 1B, and trading Duda and getting good value in return for him?<br /><br />Smith is coming - let's say he is ready sometime from OD 2017 to mid-year 2017 - and he will then be cheap, offsetting other guys (Cespedes, please) who will be putting strong upwards pressure on payroll. If Murphy is surplus at that point, trade him.

After both missed large chunks of Time at season's end, had they not been selected for the AFL starting in mid-Oct, I would have been concerned.<br /><br />Time for Smith to start flashing more of a home run swing in his game. If he does, he could be our starting 1B in 2017. I'm getting tired of Lucas not changing, as I touch on at 10:00 today.<br /><br />Cecchini's errors slowed up later in the season. Wilmer was able to do the same. I think Gavin will be fine defensively.<br /><br />Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
