Thanks. Not too many names jump off the page at me for players the Mets should pick up. Oh well ... Later
-
The deadline for teams to decide whether or not to offer some of their players contracts is December 2nd at 11pm central time. Non-tendering a player makes him a free agent. Back on early November I saw that there could be as many as 190 players eligible. Many of them have probably been given offers and/or re-signed. If anyone has seen a more recent list, could you please post it? Thanks. Later

Anybody here thinking that Jordany Valdespin may start to look like an option for the Mets at some point this year? Later

Matthews is just in a snit because he can't vote for Derek Jeter yet. Heck, he wishes he were old enough to have voted for Horace Clark. Later

There's been some form of announcement of this deal every day since November 22nd. Memo to Sandy: Announcing the signing of the same player for five straight days is not the same as signing five different players. Later

Who says you need power to play first base? I have this feeling that if they put Wilmer Flores at first and just leave him there, he will go on to have a career like Wade Boggs. Just a feeling. If they do sign a power bat for a corner outfield spot, I see them moving EYJ to second and maybe Murphy to first. Later

My votes go to Piazza, Maddux, Biggio, Bagwell, and Kent. I know its been a rule for 50 years or so, but I still can't bring myself to vote for a player who was predominantly a DH. National League roots, I guess. Frank Thomas played first base in only 971 of his 2300+ major league games. I'd have to be convinced about him. Later

This reminds me. If you pass a Sidewalk Santa and he looks like one of the Wilpons, it probably is - trying to get enough money for a Type A Free Agent. Later

going to WAR with your metly hitters (quiz)

Sign Cruz, a starter (maybe Scott Feldman if they can't sign Arroyo?), maybe a reliever, find a shortstop, and that's a decent off season. It fills the holes that needed to be filled. Anything more than that would be gravy. Later

Hey! Have you ever seen goat droppings? I have. And that's why I put diapers on all my goats. Later

I'm hoping that 25 years from now, this thread would be discussing a player other than Seaver as the absolute best Met of all time. That would mean several things: 1) We will be around to enjoy at least part of that career 2) He will be a really fucking good player. 3) There are at least a few more Championship years in the offing. Later

He's going to hit a zillion homers in that bandbox. At least he's out of the National League. Later

[crossout:e0kjvm7c]Its almost (but not quite) better than some of the Friday Vol. 1 songs.[/crossout:e0kjvm7c] Ouch. Later

Its a start. Later

Somewhere, Marvin Miller is laughing his ass off. Later

Forgive me for asking if we could discuss ... Ryan F. Braun

Sorry: New York MetsVerified account @ Mets # Mets add LHP Steven Matz & RHPs Jeff Walters, Jacob deGrom and Erik Goeddel to their 40-man roster. Mets 40-man roster is at 40. Later

So, I guess that Davis for Kinsler deal I dreamed about is out of the question. Later

The only lesson you can take from that sort of thinking, though, is not to get up in the morning. I guess you're right. You can't generalize. Not all short guys have a Napoleon complex. And not all All-Star second basemen will decline when they're acquired by the Mets. Later

I'm getting a Robbie Alomar flashback, although Robbie was a little older when he came to the Mets. Later
