I played volleyball last night and that meant talking to Jerry, the average Met fan. Jerry came up to me and said, "So, our big move is signing Roger Cedeno?" Obviously I corrected him on the Cedeno in question... but it didn't exactly make the Mets sound much better. Jerry is a Met fan, and he's loyal but he's never going to follow the minors or look 2 years down the road. While Jerry is a pretty mellow and rational guy, he is pretty adamant that the Mets would not be getting a dime of his money this year.Jerry is not wrong. The Mets ORGANIZATION do not deserve the loyalty and devotion we fans will be bringing. They watched as a fan favorite and the star of the franchise left town to go to a division rival, they signed some complimentary players and they improved the bullpen. I mean... if you aren't into the prospect potential... WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THE 2012 METS?
I won't talk about the Wilpons and I won't complain about Alderson and I won't even mention the fact that we gave away a prospect (YES, Fernando Martinez was STILL a prospect) to protect D.J. FRIGGIN' Carasco. I WILL SAY, that this is the kind of year where the Met Organization runs the risk of losing a good deal of those Average Fans.
What Do You All Think?
What Should The Average Fan Look Forward To in 2012?
