  1. It may be safe to say the Mets will not be drafting many players directly out of high school anymore.

Samuels was "borrowing" money from team accounts and the restoring it. Who the hell is the team accountant? The same guy that signed up Madoff? Geezuz. What, the books are off every month? eh, It's less than Alex Cora makes anyway, probably just petty cash. I assume you are taking the piss...right??

Because they work in close proximity, they're loaded, they're morally vulnerable, and his access to them is golden in the racket he has going. You haven't answered the question. Uh yes he has. Opportunity, access, comraderie, illness, people gamble. Doesn't take much for Samuels to find out who has a sore arm in the clubhouse. Some vulnerable player may know Charlie gambles and asks to use his "agent." Agents tend to show up on Fridays, ask Loduca.

  14. Charlie bet on baseball and football. He embezzelled to do it. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/14246494/mets-clubhouse-manager-admits-to-betting-on-baseball

The language of gambling is unique and sometimes fraternal. Those involved who hear that language from another may be inclined to let it be know they are gamblers also.
  16. The world of Illegal gambling is a small one. Eventually, the real players on each side are aware of each other.
  17. Waiter, Check please!

Rollins is a good measuring stick, but he signed back in 2006 and left them with an $8.5 million option this year, which was even more of a no-brainer than the Mets' option with Reyes. Suffice to say that their agents will be watching the other guy's negotiating. But we know Jeter's going to get crazy dollars, and Reyes may not be Jeter, but he is a name on the marquee/face on the media guide/franchise identity player, and his agent is going to bring Jeter into the picture. Reyes is going to get paid. Not so much outside of NY.
  19. Mets have picked up Reye's option for 2011 but won't talk extension now. Reye's per his agent, will not talk extension during the season. Wouldn't this suggest a Reye's trade before 2011 season ends?
  20. Eddie Kunz=Bust
  21. RIP Sparky, you will be missed.
  22. Edgy DC wrote: He's put up three of them. Out of how many? Do really believe he can get an extension averaging 15 million now? I don't see it.
  23. Edgy DC wrote: I think that asks him to assume most of the risk. Players of his stature are getting the high side of $15 mills. He would have to put up a stellar full season to demand that coin.
  24. Carl Crawford, but that won't happen. Andy Pettitte?
  25. So the Mets will have Reyes in a walk year? Could get funky around 7/31/2011.
