Edgy MD wrote: I don't think anything needs to be re-defined. There's an upside to locking up players before free agency whether you are the wealthiest or the least wealthy owner Sure, and a downside too. The difference is the downside (paying a fortune for someone who suffers a career-ending injury) affects the least wealthy owner's plans sharply, and the wealthiest owner hardly at all. However much the Mets screw up, Cohen gets to go "Man! What rotten luck! OK, let's move on with the program from here" and never gets to bitch that he's spent his limit because he doesn't have a limit. No. These are insurable risks. And the less wealthier teams have as much access to the insurance markets as Cohen's Mets do. Initially, you wrote a bad post and now you pretend to ignore me because you can't come up with a convincing response to my earlier post about insurance. I say "pretend" because you couldn't ignore my posts if your life depended on it. So when I diss your Doc Medich joke, for example, you run to Edgy and have the audacity to demand that my perfectly fair post be red-lit. Sadly, he complies. Maybe an old geezer like Justin Verlander isnt insurable but a young pre-free agency superstud like Pete Alonso sure is. And insuring these players is standard operating baseball practice, not some esoteric 3D chess move than only gazillionaires like Cohen can afford.

This: As I keep saying, "] extend him out for several years Why? To throw millions of dollars around needlessly and screw themselves if he comes down with a career-ending injury in the next two years? This is nothing more than disingenuous revisionist history. You're simply trying to thread the needle between my post and Edgy's. For personal reasons.

Coming soon, an exciting new off season set from the folks at TCG. Because we needed a place for Highlights and Leader cards. Code name: Rum Raisin. Watch this space for our sneak preview.

With deGrom having left for his comfort zone, the slavery belt, that list is now so uninteresting, other than Alonso's meteoric rise up the Mets all-time HR ranks. I'll check back in in a coupl'a years.

I remember reading all season long right up until they traded him how his batted balls were among the hardest hit in the majors. And that's about as good an indicator as anything out there. Billy got soaked in that trade. Davis didn't produce reliably enough for a team with the Mets' ambition.... That's a good way of putting it. One could forget that the Mets aren't fucking around anymore after 10+ seasons of being baseball's laughingstock. There's an entire generation of Mets fans who are young enough that, until about a year ago, knew no other Mets team firsthand besides the Madoff plagued one. Edgy MD wrote: Yeah, it seemed soaky enough at the time. By the end of the season, J.D. had produced 0.9 bWAR for the Giants.... That's 0.9 bWAR in just 158 PA's. That's pretty damn good. Davis's 140 OPS+ with the Giants last year was the best of Davis's career, though granted, it represents just a partial season. But still.

I imagine that Alvarez will play somehow or other. Because he has to. I cant see Alvarez making the team just to play once or twice a week.

Then I take it all back. Except the deGrom stuff.

NY Post has him saying this at his Twins press conference today. Carlos Correa on ultimately choosing Twins over Mets: "I want to be a part of a team that doesn't buy championships," Correa told reporters in a surprise press conference where he made his announcement. "One team handing out all that money isn't good for the sport." Oh OK then I guess that's why Correa ultimately didnt sign with the Mets: because the Mets offered him too much money. And because they already had too many high priced players. I'll put that one with the one about deGrom wanting to win so badly that he left the Mets for a team that finished 38 games out of first place. Are these players so spoiled, so used to having everything go their way that they think everybody's gonna believe whatever they say all of the time?
