Speed and a proven glove for CF at a reasonable price. I like it. Nimmo can shift over to LF. Things are picking up.



Now if we can resign Stroman (or another front line starter) we will be onto something.

Marte and Canha, awesome!

Tim Britton: "He's one of the game's best base runners; the Mets have been one of its worst base-running teams."

AWESOME!!!



(Someone else will point out that the 3 players are 32, 32 and 33.)

And to think I met his car dealer.



I suppose in a matter of taste I would prefer Conforto but this is a solid and the, a better for us, solution

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Billy Eppler seems to know what he's doing.

Mets with bird names:



Hawk Taylor

Sammy Drake

George Theodore

Paul Byrd

And back in '99, Pat Mahomes really knew how to 'Vulture' a win.

Pete Falcon(e) doesn't qualify?



Later

[Fman99]

Marlon Byrd had a pretty good 2013 in blue and orange. We used to call him "Fish Bird" in our house.

[smg58]

My assessment so far:



I wouldn't have pursued Canha if I was closing in on Marte, because I think Smith has more upside at a lower price.



But that being said I like that Eppler got to work quickly and decisively. A lot. I also like that he made multiple moves for useful pieces instead of going for one big, overpriced splash. Any notion that people may have had yesterday that nobody wants to come here, or that the Mets were in no position to pull the trigger on anything, is gone.



I also think that everybody is working on the assumption that this time next week there will be a work stoppage. The free agent market is already in full gear a lot more quickly than it normally does, and I expect that to accelerate this week.

"What ya wanna do tonight, Marte?"



"I dunno, Frankie. What YA wanna do?"



"I dunno. Win a pennant, maybe?"







(With apologies to Paddy Chayevsky.)

[Gwreck]

Good acquisition.

[Frayed Knot]

Alas, no Pete Crow-Armstrong in our future

[ashie62]

How is George Theodore a bird?

Sometimes it's hard to keep straight, but it's Starling Marte and Starlin Castro

I thought it was "Sterling" until about six months ago. Regardless, happy to have him on board!

[ashie62]

I might go to James McCann shoes and then pick up Hager slacks.
