If we have no faith in Mayberry add in another versatile platoon type OF guy to spell Conforto if he's not hitting that well. Or just one to send him back down for more seasoning. Two above average hitters would make a world of difference. Especially with d'Arnaud back.

I'm fine with all this, I don't need an all-star stud like you referred
to earlier. Just show us you care a little, that you can and will look to
improve things. Bringing up Conforto has placated me some. It shows
they finally accept Coach Cuddy is hurt (and kinda sucked) and Mayberry
just doesn't deserve to play much. They have a week (and I know it's not
a trade deadline in stone) to get a few puzzle pieces for this year. They are
in striking distance and to do nothing and fade away is going to make for
another very long and cold winter.

Mayberry just doesn't deserve to play much

i think he still deserves to play against lefties, whether that is worth a roster spot in this era of 4 man benches is a separate question, but he has value,

[Frayed Knot]

Again with Mayberry, he HAD been good vs LHPs but suddenly isn't. Maybe more time and he reverts to form but it sure isn't looking that way.

His splits for his career were: 833 OPS vs LHP, 646 vs RHP. This year he's at 628 & 464
IOW, while his hitting vs LHPs is still better than it is vs RHPs, this season he's hitting LHPs (aka: the job he was brought in to do) worse than he traditionally hit vs RHPs and THAT says as much about his year as anything.

and THAT says as much about his year as anything.

it says "small sample size" and "BABIP adjustment coming" (currently .203)


Rumors on twitter have Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson joining the Mets. no confirmation i can find

It says 'Really Suxx' is what it says.
