Exit 38!

I fear we have seen Nieuwenhuis' ceiling. Den Dekker next year.

The only reason for them to go see him is to have him sign paperwork and get a ride back to NY.

That pythagorean imbalance straightened itself out weeks ago. It has nothing to do with what's going on now. If a team that has been playing "over its head" for lack of a better phrase loses three in a row lie 10-1 does that "even" things. I wonder sometimes if it is as simple as "a win is a win is a win."

Palisades Park would have been more fun..

Did Mr. Dickey sign off on this? http://lookatmeshirts.com/lookatme/ra-dickey-shirt-knuckle-deep.html Probably not. That's why I bought this one Thats the guy from "The Deadliest Catch"

He is painfully effective thus far, but what 75 pitch cap coming?

Ben Sheets..how bout dat...

37 is 37 in that you can pull a hammy fielding your position, running, hitting etc. Less wear on the arm for sure.

I liked what I heard about Wheeler possibly being with the big club this year.

And just because a guy's not untouchable Wheeler or Harvey doesn't mean he's not "valuable." Relatedly, just because I could REALLY use a soda right now, that doesn't make dropping a Benjamin on a Diet Coke a good deal. If the aim is to build a sustainably successful team, you don't want to overspend wildly, in cash or (especially) in trade. Spending Valdespin (a 24-year-old, controllable multi-position asset just beginning to build his major-league value... who may end up being a LOT more than a utility guy) to get Street (a middling-to-good reliever having a very good 24-inning stretch right now, still due about $4M in salary, and NOT the one-size-fits-all-answer to getting the Mets to the postseason) would be a pretty big overspend. As-- at this point-- it's a seller's market, reliever- and righty-power-guy-wise, there is no "answer" out there that wouldn't be pretty fuggin' expensive. As such, it would be unwise to buy, at least without exhausting all internal options. (And while we know pretty well what Street is at this point-- 8-9 Ks/9 and solid, if not unhittable, relief-- we have NO idea whether he'd represent a significant performance bump over guys like Edgin/Beato, or guys like Ramirez/Francisco pitching at their previously-established performance baselines.) tl; dr-- Giving up real ML-ready value for Huston Street = dumb buy. Repeated assertion to contrary isn't more evidence; it's just kinda chafing. Alot of speculation there. I agree to disagree...They make corn starch for chafing..Your argument is at best absurd.

I wouldn't trade a valuable prospect either..but Valdespin is expendable. Lutz and a few more. The answer for this season is not in the organization at this moment..If it is.. who.....? Is that Basta enuff for you?

With the possible exception of Harvey the answer to the pitching woes do not lie within the organization.
