In part because the good SS were all in the NL this past year. Taking those with 300+ PAs and sorted by OPS, the top Seven were NLers, followed by Alexi Ramirez for the ChiSox and then Alex Gonzalez who split his time in both leagues. Jeter came in 13th behind Jamie Carroll and JJ Hardy and just ahead of Jhonny Peralta. But do any of them know how to win?
All in all, this will be a very interesting winter to see how Alderson deals with the existing and future existing payrolls. He will be handling David Wright negotiations at some point not too too far off. Is David a 20 million dollar a year player to the Mets? He is the brand.

Though would have been shocking and very nice if Bondy, or anyone for that matter, made the connection that Righetti started his big league life with the Rangers. Not reaching at all really... So, if an article comes out talking up Ryan's Met beginnings or even Francoeur's ex-Met status, that should be proclaiming a Met victory of the ALCS? thats reaching.
