So, what's the injury going to be this time? Forearm tightness? Butterflies in stomach? Wrenched ankle?

Forseeing Seventeen: Travis d'Arnaud
Lefty Specialist replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
Having Piazza will always skew a Met fan's perception of catcher value. That being said, Darno has been a disappointment. I can move on. -
Funkmaster Flexen getting promoted on Thursday to take Wheeler's spot in the rotation. Hmmmmmm.....

Lifting that goddamn hammer is probably how he tore the lat.

Is it possible to back up a dumpster fire?

Cespedes looking like, well, not Cespedes.

Sharing a baseball-themed birthday cake (and showing the world how to wear pants) with child actor Bryan Russell: Can't stop giggling at this.

Wasn't exactly tearing it up in Vegas, with a 5.79 ERA and 14 walks in 23.1 innings.

IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Build that trade value, Mets! -
Guess he just plays better in Florida.

I actually found Rosenthal's writing better than his in-person irrelevancies. I don't care who you're wearing that ugly bow-tie for, dude.
-
Boy, I was the biggest pessimist and now I look wildly optimistic.
-
Cespedes isn't going anyplace. He has a no-trade and he was tired of shuttling from team to team, which is a big part of why he re-signed with the Mets. This is like the deGrom talk. It. Will. Not. Happen.

The Edge of Seventeen: Brandon Nimmo

Boy, just when you think things can't get weirder...... -
I'd expect they'll eat salary to get a better return. The salary was a sunk cost already.

Certainly on game days it will. And I won't drive out to Flushing for a beer. Oh well.

The thing is, I don't know if they'll ever get the 'Big Five' on the field at the same time- ever. Matz is glass. Harvey may never be the pitcher he was. Wheeler is a wild card, and still throws too many pitches. Syndergaard should be a bull, but who knows how muscle pulls will affect him? deGrom is at least the surest thing they have. If they ever were healthy and firing on all cylinders, great. Not sure we'll ever see it. Looks like the league has caught up to Lugo and Gsellman, unfortunately. Defense has killed this team as well. Rosario will help at short, but what's the plan for second and third (I'm assuming Wright is done)? It also seems like they've moved on from Lagares in center. Conforto in right, Cespedes in left and a competent CF would work. Oh, and just a league-average bullpen would help as well. All this may be too much to ask for 2018.

Yeah, took one look at McFadden's and said 'ick'. Hopefully this'll be a little more upscale.

This sounds awesome. But being open all year, man, not a lot of people are going to wander into the Citi Field parking lot in mid-January.
-
The guys with expiring contracts that you trade will bring you back AA players at best. But they can be here in a year or two. Hell, the Tigers plugged Fullmer into the rotation almost immediately (with good results) from the Cespedes deal. They waited 2 seasons for Syndergaard and 1 season for d'Arnaud from the Dickey deal. That's probably typical (if they make it at all). I wouldn't expect 2018 help from these trades, but you'll have to see what kind of a wheeler-dealer Sandy is. This is probably his last go-round, so hopefully he goes out with a bang.

I'm using the AS Break to catch up on ...

Terry will have a chance to say goodbye to the players and the fans. Yup, that's how I think it'll play out, too. I think the decision's already been made and Terry knows. Hell, he's 68. Who'd want to put up with all the shit he gets for another year?
