    While Mets fans complain about Alex Cora (a move I am indifferent about), Chris Coste (not something I care about), and Henry Blanco (a move I like) they may have missed some of the moves the competition made this week. The Braves replaced Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano with Billy Wagner and Takashi Saito. Nothing was missed , don't know where you're hanging out Mike. I didn't realize Saito is 40 , mkaes that signing not so good for the money.

    Klapisch playing it straight in that article.......must have been before things turned sour.

    At that rate Hugo Ch�vez will nationalize him.

    The NFL model, really? , I find it a most boring league , and it seems to me in the 15 years I have lived here the it's the same teams that are rubbish and not much changes at all.

    Certainly the best thread since that nasty business in the south pacific during WWII

    Omar on the draft picks and such You do think about that at this time, but we�re pleased the way the trade went for us,� Minaya said. �We got some prospects. Having Frankie Rodriguez this year, to offer Billy arbitration would�ve been dangerous for us. It�s hard to predict the market in August.�

    Best thread ever........

    OMFeckingG Jeter is the son of General Douglas MacArthur? , Seriously , how could a journalist even manage to bring those two together in an article , the Philippines campaign?...WTF?

    I can't take this anymore.....Mr. Verducci you should be ashamed. Actually I find it quite funny reading the excerpts and responses.
  12. metirish
    What utter bollox that is......Veducci should just write Jeter's HOF speech , he can include the Witasick story to help validate the great mans career

    Alomar oh his time with the Mets in an interview with Klapisch. Alomar is equally clear-eyed about his disappointing tenure with the Mets. He batted just .266 in 2002, dropping 70 points off his previous year�s average in Cleveland. Alomar was hitting .265 halfway through the 2003 season before he was traded to the White Sox. Realizing he was quickly losing his elite skills � �I never would�ve allowed myself to be remembered as just an average player stealing money� � Alomar retired in 2004 at age 36. His mediocrity as a Met still gnaws at him, but Alomar believes the culture of underachievement affected everyone at Shea. �No one played up to their potential in those years; that�s the only way I could explain it,� he said. �There were a lot of unhappy guys, and that rubs off on the way you perform on the field. I wasn�t myself, but no one else was, either.�

    Every sunrise is a fresh shot at victory for Derek Jeter. OMFeckingG That rivals the Klapisch " applause like soft rain" quote.....it's disgusting.

    My only consolation is that Boston are horrible in the draft.....their picks never amount to anything.....

    Abbott had an eventful WS , I thought that double had a chance to go out........getting picked of first by Pettitte in game 5 was horrible...

    Molina has 35 years of squatting in his 55-year-old legs. Great description from Noble......

    Frayed Knot wrote: A similar tact could be saying that the draft picks would just go to waste since; 'it's the Mets and they'd only draft some piece 'o shit anyway'. btw, is anyone besides me a bit stunned - not so much that the BoSox offered him arb but that the Braves jumped on him so quickly? With a one-two punch of Mike Gonzalez & Raphael Soriano (are they both back?) Atlanta wasn't exactly hurting for back-end relievers. Plus, it's not like their last late-30s ex-Met LHP FA pick-up which cost them a pretty decent draft pick worked out all that well. The deal, btw, is for one year plus a vesting option. 6.75 million in 2010 and the deal includes a $6.5 million club option for 2011 with a $250,000 buyout. That's a WOW from me....Bean Stringfellow is nobodies fool Rafael Soriano (27 saves) and Mike Gonzalez (10 saves) both became free agents after the season. The Braves offered the pair arbitration on Tuesday, and they have until Monday to accept. Source NYT

    I'm biased of course but I would really like to hear GK&R doing playoff games.

    from article Jeff Berry, who represents Halladay along with Greg Landry, told ESPN that, once the 32-year-old righthander reports to spring training, he'd exercise his no-trade clause to block any deals from that point forward. Halladay can be a free agent following the 2010 season, and the Blue Jays know they won't be re-signing their immensely popular player. This will eliminate a repeat of the distracting media frenzy of 2009 for both Roy and his teammates, and will allow Roy to focus on pitching at the exceptional level Jays fans have come to expect," Berry told ESPN.

    I'm sure I am speaking out of line here but Omar seems quite fond of easy to attain options , probably every GM is.
  23. metirish
    You are forgiven Val, it's obvious now that you have been busy readying the new strategy for Afghanistan.
  24. metirish
    Reports have Halladay wanting to be traded before Spring Training , if not then he will invoke his "no trade" clause and that's that.
  25. metirish
    And you just know if he comes to the Mets it will be at the least a two year deal with an easy to reach option for a third.....at the worst a three year deal with an easy to reach fourth year.
