Jaff Decker

Can't relegate this to "other news," Jeets. Jaff Decker was an integral piece of the 2014 Mets, and now he's not here any more. That's back-page news, whether you agree with it or not.

The Mets need to do whatever it takes to reacquire Jose Reyes to make up for the way they bumbled Jaff Decker.

The way I look at it, Rubin was talking Laffy Jaffy up so that the Pirates would take notice, thereby forcing them to expose someone on their 40-man that was the ACTUAL player the Mets need. Kind of a Jedi mind trick. Maybe he should have taken Omar's job after all.

Memories of Jaff Decker ...

I just hope Steve pokes his head up soon.

[seawolf17]

He can't; he's waiting on hold to talk to Francesa about Jaff.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I... I can't talk about this. Not now.

I'm glad you're OK, Steve.

No more drunkposting, OK?

I guess the only thing to do now is wait for Decker to become a superstar and then count the days until the inevitable 'I can't believe Sandy didn't grab Jaff Decker when he had the chance back in 2013' posts. The details of those posts will vary somewhat but will have several things in common:
- they'll blame Jeffie for it
- none of the players we would have had to trade for him would have amounted to any good
- they'll talk about how if Nelson Doubleday didn't have the team stolen from him that there's no way this opportunity would have slipped away

I miss Jaff Decker.
