    so, where do the mets pivot to next, now that yamamoto has decided he's rather play under palm trees instead of laguardia's air traffic? should they keep trying to go big this offseason, or go home instead? is jordan montgomery what you want under your chritmastree, or would prefer to find a way to wrap up lucas giolito? put a bow on cody bellinger perhaps? what do you, savvy intelligent mets fan, want your team to turn to next? or do we just leave the couch in the stairwell and call it a day?

    holy shit, though. 12 years for a pitcher. WHAT?! is baseball taking crazy pills? i really hope the dodgers are going to be able to market the fuck outta themselves in japan or these contracts are going to hurt. i don't think the mets are necessarily going to make a big pivot to other big name players this offseason. and i think that's probably the right play, if they're really building for '25 maybe a jordan montgomery makes sense, but that might be the biggest big name for them to go after this year as they build for next. giolito would be an interesting get. but, um, seriously, can we throw some of that yamamoto money pete's way. please?

    i guess if you're only going to vote for one guy, beltre is that guy. you gotta be a really small-hall kinda guy, but at least this i can respect.
  4. metsmarathon
    Oh but Steve cohens billions are going to ruin baseball!
  5. metsmarathon
    As possibly the only guy to not vote for beltre, his argument against him is, “meh”. Like, no further explanation. What. The. Actual. Fuck. He's all mister small-hall. Sure. Then don't vote for Ortiz. And don't bitch that PEDs are keeping out the best of the sawx players either. Ugh. Beltre is a much better player than Ortiz, manny, Jeter. More complete. More counting. 6th best 3b ever vs 14th, using bWAR's jaws. Jetes needs a hell of an aura and mystique boost to climb over that, but Beltre isn't worthy? Please. Comparing manny to Beltre would be equally unfair. Unless all you look at is home runs. Ugh. The least you could do is explain yourself!

    near as i can tell, yeah, scott kazmir was the last active devil ray. and evan longoria is the last remaining active original ray. maybe david price too if he hasn't officially retired yet.

    he's got a point. when the dodgers brought in a small market gm, who was bringing with him that same small market mentality and approach, it's been the ruination and eternal shame of their franchise ever since. oh wait. sorry. read that again but make it the exact opposite of whatever i wrote. joe beningo may be passionate about the mets, but it's entirely possible to care about a thing and still be an idiot about it.

  14. metsmarathon
    Fucking wow.
  15. metsmarathon
    i think toronto is a very real option, too. perhaps more real than the yankees.
  16. metsmarathon
    i hate it when the yankees get players i like. like arod, stanton, rodon... wait... maybe i do like it when the yankees get players i like.
  17. metsmarathon
    well, it's promising to know that at least his arm is currently attached.
  18. metsmarathon
    i wasn't looking for a KBO translation, but more of a comparable skillset. it just so happened that the first guy who came to mind was kwan. basically, elite hit tool, not much power, great d.

    sheffield has a bit of a different steroid story than the rest, though. at least, so he claims. OE: i suppose it might undercut his strong anti-steroid stance if he were to suddenly start hawking nugenics testosterone boosting shit. ahem frank thomas.
  20. metsmarathon
    torii hunter, eh? that's an interesting stance on a non-beltran ballot. i was hoping for a more steady drumbeat in carlos' favor than what i'm hearing.
  21. metsmarathon
    could be more of a steven kwan type player, in that he has great hit tool, not much power, and plus defense. that ain't a bad thing.
  22. metsmarathon
    one could make a solid argument for bobby and barry bonds. of course, one could also make one hell of an argument against, well, barry bonds. which is a damned fucking shame because that dude was a slam dunk hall of famer before he ever started on the sauce.
  23. metsmarathon
    ivan nova? domingo german? michael pineda?
  24. metsmarathon
    i am ok with this!
  25. metsmarathon
    i'm pretty ok with the signing. he's basically a SP5, with some remote lingering upside potential for an SP2/3. if he's got nothing in the tank, we still have megill, lucchesi, and the rest. if he's all the arm we get, then of course this is a much different take. but as a depth piece with upside, sure.
