I think that's probably where Sandy Alderson is at, too.

And yet, with a truckload of banjos for our offense, the Mets went 12-15 en Junio.

Guys with Heavy Feet Flores

It's a big conversation. But it's easiest to start with the lowest-hanging fruit. And in Cuddy's case, he's bruised fruit too.

I'm on the hunt for somebody a little more ready-to-wear. I mean, my stars and garters, we have no shortage of strikeouts.

Or in OPS order, or reverse order of who you want to be criticizing: Granderson: .297/.371/.544 // .915 -- 7 HRs Lagares: .260/.267/.410 // .677 -- 2 HR Plawecki: .262/.333/.310 // .643 -- 0 HRs Tejada: .230/.306/.322 // .628 -- 0 HR Flores: .221/.257/.337 // .594 -- 2 HR Duda: .187/.310/.264 // .574 -- 1 HR Herrera: .167/.282/.292 // .574 -- 1 HR Cuddyer: .211/.237/.311 // .548 -- 1 HR Campbell: .156/.240/.244 // .484 -- 1 HR Campbell has been effectively replaced in the lineup, if not on the roster. So Cuddyer is the next opportunity you want to look at.

Shoot and fuck everybody. SHOOT AND FUCK EVERYBODY!!

Well, he went 3-5 with a homer last night. Looking at his game log, if he's cooling off, we should all be so cool.

I have my doubts about whether Conforto's ready, but if he's still adjusting to AA pitching, he's adjusting to the tune of a .333 / .421 / .543 // .964 slash line � his best numbers at any level. (OE: Vicspeed)

LA Dodgers got five productive outfielders. Mets got one. I'm no fan of trades but I'm trying to see all the angles here.

I don't think that's a stretch at all, especially with Mayberry as a platonic partner. But obviously there are more dramatic scenarios to contemplate. WE DON'T WANT TO EQUAL HIS PRODUCTION !!!11!! LOL WE WANT TO IMPROVE ON IT !!!!!11!!! SMHROFL!

Michael Cuddyer had a terrible game last night, and failed to cross the finish line, exiting following the seventh inning. While seemingly just another byte of news, this sets in motion dozens of scenarios. [list:cg4npy6m][*:cg4npy6m]Are we looking at something that flared up yesterday or something he's been playing on for a month? [/*:m:cg4npy6m] [*:cg4npy6m]The focus of the prospective trade market instantly shifts from infielders to outfielders. I think this greatly expands the list of potential options. [/*:m:cg4npy6m] [*:cg4npy6m]The drum beat to fast-track Comforto (and/or Nimmo) just picked up in tempo.[/*:m:cg4npy6m][/list:u:cg4npy6m] OK, that's three scenarios, but there are dozens of permutations of the each. Well of the last two. One stall in the Mets plans is it wasn't clear where the soft spot in the lineup was. The Mets were squishy all around (and committed long- (or medium-) term at many of those squishy spots). If Cuddyer is hurt, that gives them license to be aggressive to fill his spot, and if that means playing out the last year and a half of his contract as a part-timer, well, there are worse places to take the hit.

If nothing else, this game ends Niese's brief reign of Most Hated Met on the Internet (MHMITM). I'm not sure, but I believe the crown moves now to Cuddy.

Good spirit.

That about sums up Cuddyer's game. Eighth shutout, fourth of the impotently painful 1-0 variety.

NINTHINNINGGLORY!

Check out our infield! It's like the pros have!

Eric Campbell, your major league status is a stubborn thing, I tell you what. Something like a big league lineup happening out there.

Gary FINALLY mentioned the coming Millennium Met.

You show those hating haters, Niesey.

Nymr83 wrote: yeah, the problem with upgrading SS is that there isnt really a guy out there who is a clear upgrade on Wilmer Flores assuming the Mets "fully healthy" infield alignment of 3B Wright SS Flores 2B Murphy 1B Duda. I'm not even sure there is a Tejada upgrade that is available in-season at a reasonable cost. There's been some hinting that Alderson might be willing to go for a guy with an un-reasonable cost. Yeah, I know, but I'm just repeating the reporters and reporting the repeaters.

I know a lot less than a lot of the folks I butt up against. But McGehee was a Marlin last year so we saw him 18 or 19 times, and even though his year was pretty meh, he seemed to always be in the middle of things when he was playing the Mets, and it was a comeback year for him � literally, as he was in Japan the previous year. I know almost nothing about his time with the Yankees, but you just know he hung out with other entitled, meathead, wannabe enforcers like Francisco Cervelli and Derek Lowe. If you're one of the breed of Met fans who thinks the greatest moment in the history of the franchise was when Ray Knight punched a black guy in the face just for looking at him wrong, well, McGehee just may be your guy.
