Hello again Mack.
I woke up this morning and had to turn on
SNY to make sure I wasn't dreaming about what happened last night. We won in Atlanta against "the best
bullpen in the history of the world"
after being down twice late and getting out of a brave on 3rd with 1 out
in the 9th and if that wasn't enough came back with 2 out in the 10th to score
twice..WOW!!!!!
Is it possible the "Chipper" curse has been
lifted...stay tuned.
Hey I know I was pissed after those 2 losses to the fish and
you called me on it when you answered my last post but I had to vent somewhere.
Look, can you ever remember hearing a team talk soooo much about "NEXT
YEAR" when you’re not even out of spring training THIS year? They have spent
the last year conditioning us to prepare for another crappy season because 2014
will be the year! Bourne and J Up were available THIS off season....there's not
much of anything free agent wise next off season so the time to strike has
pasted. I would have given up our pick this year for Bourne to secure both CF
and leadoff for the next four years. I wouldn't have given up ZW for J Up but
would a package starting with Niese and Str-ike Davis gotten it done? Last
question for you is about the scouting dept. I was wondering about the Braves
and their ability to find just the right players after having watched them beat
us up for the last 20 years and have to believe it's a lot more than just luck
they've been as good as they have been.
Does anyone in the FO believe in plagiarism or are the ego's
so big they have to re-invent the wheel.
That's all for now. Thanks, Gary Seagren
Hey
Gary…
You
take these rare come from behind wins and store them in the back of your
cranium. It still will be a long season, but there will be some great moments,
mostly caused by home runs, not great pitching.
The
only chance the Mets have is if Ike Davis hits like John Buck, Davis Wright,
and Lucas Duda. You need a 3-4-5-6 to get things done.
By
my estimate, the Mets payroll will return to at least $100mil next year. Take
off the old salaries and that leaves $50mil a year to get things done. That’s a
minimum of three great players, two in the outfield and maybe a new first
baseman… or stack the deck and go get another SP2-3. Put up Harvey, Wheeler,
Niese, Montero, new guy until Syndergaard arrives in 2015.
Personally,
I’d like to see the return of Carlos Beltran for a 1-yr contract with a team option. He still has a
healthy bat.
The
important thing to remember is 2014 is the last year on Sandy Alderson’s contract.
He has to do something this off-season. And yes, regardless of what he says
now, they will move Buck before the season is over. They have to get a return
for him. Me? I would sign him for two more years and move d’Arnaud, but that’s
just me.
Interesting view on keeping Buck and trading Travis (I'll
never remember how to spell his last name) and was wondering besides Stanton
who else would be on your radar and lets please include str-ike Davis because
the guy drives me nuts.
This is becoming
the Gary and Mack show.
D’Arnaud
is still an unproven commodity. Buck isn’t. I have no problem paying him Frank
Francisco money.
With the plethora of catchers in the system he could hold
the fort till one is ready...are you listening Kevin
Plawecki. Also I'm not sure if Stanton would be my guy because I see us
giving up a bundle for him and then seeing him become more familiar with the DL
than Citi-field. If you use say Travis, Davis, Spin and some minor league
pitchers would you go for 1 solid major league OFer or a few near ready
prospects?
The Mets need
someone like Justin Upton. If not, they need someone like Michael Bourn (sic).
On your new draft post you'd still go for Wilson even if say
Gray is still on the board?
No, Gray is an
elite pitcher, as is Manaea and Appel. You take one of them if they were there,
which they won’t be.
Now some questions about the following minor
leaguers...Gsellman, Jeff Walters and your latest updates on Plawecki's
progress.
Gsellman is a nice find but let’s let him go around the
league a few times.
Walters is an MLB relieve in the making ETA 2014.
Plawecki leads the league in every major offensive
category He needs to move on, but it’s too early to tell yet. I’m more intrigued with
the resurgence of Blake Forsythe.
And finally did you catch
Rosenthal's post on our Metsies not contending until 2015 at the earliest.
These guy's give me a laugh. Look I know the Nats and Braves are good and young
and they will give us all we can handle but come on like he really has a clue
what will happen tomorrow no less 2 years from now. If Friday's amazing win
from the almighty Bravo's proves anything it's that you NEVER know .....so Ken
Rosenthal...GET OVER YOUR SELF and write what you really know not what your
guessing.
No, I don’t read most of these guys.
