Cespedes doesn't excite me on his own. He would arguably become the best Mets batter immediately upon his insertion into the lineup. Unfortunately, that speaks more to how horrible the Mets' offense has been on the whole rather than how much value Cespedes might provide in the middle of the horror. Yeah, but again, the idea is not to excite you on his own (he doesn't excite me at all) but to suss out what he's worth and whether that's a price the team would or should pay. I dunno. But living at the corner of "Just Do Something" and "Why Bother?" seems unsustainable.

  3. Intent on cornering the market on stray minor league third baseman, the Mets this afternoon Jonathan Galvez, late of the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankee-Like Things. He even got into a game tonight for Binghamton before the ink was dry on his contract. Likely fills the role left vacant by the departure of Aderlin Rodriguez. Mets may or may not be getting veteran offensive help, but the B-Mets certainly are.

  4. Cubbies go up by one in the top of the 13th.
  5. Cubs in the 12th, tied 4-4 with Cincinnati.

  7. I have trouble offering any of them, but I trust Alderson and DePodesta more than myself to sort out which among them are fool's gold.

Mets bullpen has been so good that there isn't really a drop off from deGrom to Mejia/Parnell. Plus 1 less inning on Jacob's ledger. I've felt like the good results we've been getting from Parnell we're illusory. That the other shoe was going to come and come hard and fast. At least, I had felt like that until tonight. His control has been uncharacteristically solid, and now that he's hit 96, I have to think he may be a real asset again. And the Mets may actually have something like three closers.
  9. What's a smudge less than Rafael, you think? Bowman? Whalen? Molina? Ynoa?
  10. Those fans wanted the guy brought up a month ago. I'll go with 8/8. The Confortonox. He may even get cute by wearing 88.
  11. You don't have to solve the offensive woes (tall order under any circumstances), but rather, you only have to make a team better. I mean, you may consider their place in the standings an illusion without Wright, but they got there mostly without him. The other option distinct from dealing future cards remains to deal off Niese (one of the hottest pitchers in the league right now) or Colon (to a more desperate team) in a contender-to-contender trade.
  12. Or, alternatively, Robles. But the idea that it puts the bad appearance behind him before they need him in a save situation, that thinking certainly isn't wholly without merit.
  13. Yoenis Cespedes does everything but walk, but he really doesn't walk, to judge from recent samples. (Past seasons reflect better, at least in that department.) And the Mets are known to prize a good eye. (Not saying he does everything great, but he does everything.) But wait, there's more! Yoenis is a free agent at the end of the season. But that's not all! Cespedes leads the league in outfield assists that don't involve a relay, which I guess should be distinctly counted, and I suppose they are now, by somebody. Before you decide, know that he owns one of these: [fimg=550]http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/files/2014/06/173516223.jpg[/fimg] And you look at the background, from which you can guess where he earned that belt, and you can safely conclude... absolutely nothing, but... . Now how much would you pay?

  15. Mets reportedly making their proposal, with the Giants, Yankees, and Nationals also in the bidding. Waddaya think he's worth?
  16. Hmmm... 6 to fucking two. Let's leave Parnell out there and save Jeurys for the big moment tomorrow.
  17. Ruben Tejada, nine game hitting streak. Michael Cuddyer, completing a circuit of the bases on foot. Suddenly, all's right with the world. Yeah, right.
  18. Bad News Bears triple for Plawecki.
  19. Ashie62 wrote: Plawecki sucks. I guess you must feel at least somewhat sheepish about your agitating this offseason to trade d'Arnaud, so you can turn the job the over outright to Plawecki, who you had more faith in going forward.
  20. SOUP IS GOOD FOOD!!! TERRY IS REDEEMED!!!
  21. To the bench, Terry? To the BENCH?!!!
  22. This is it. Here's hoping that the uncharacteristically excellent defensive game the Nats brought yesterday remains uncharacteristic, and the Mets can take advantage. LET'S GO WECK-KEE!! Clap! Clap! Clap-clap-clap!
  23. I'm gonna guess they should have gone with dD there.
