I'd ask who the real GM is

Maybe the road grays were a light shade of gray, or this is from the spring? You rarely see Rusty in long sleeves, much less a windbreaker under the jersey. It is Jarry Park....small roof..The big LF bleachers give it away..Been there for what its worth

the similarities are endless

Cross Lopez off

I'm fine with "Hurt Locker" loved it Inglorious basterds 2 1/2 stars..Indulgent..Pitt miscast, and Hugo Stiglitz? geez Quentin

Didn't ABBA do a song "Fernando"

This whole era reminds me of the Grant's Tomb years, except then there were no expectations.

Could be worse, he could be Russell Jay Kuntz "Rusty Kuntz"

Not if they show up hurt..Your also simplifying it. Cut Castillo and sign Hudson?

Do you want the Mets to sign any of these last 10? I don't

Please Omar don't do it! Smoltz, scrape off your uni and tend to your family

The thread is free agent signings..Other than non-roster invitees the Mets are done Santana, Pelfrey, Maine,Perez, Niese Santos, Castillo, Reyes,Wright Bay, Matthews-Beltran-Francouer team could finish from 1st to 4th.. Time has passed current management by.

Given the cross-the-fingers roster-build O's put together/preserved, if the Mets indeed have 15-20 million dollars that they could spend, then NOT spending an extra 1-5 million dollars to secure the rare commodity-- volatile though it may be-- that is a significant step up from all other available commodity options isn't just silly, it's LUDICROUS. (As far as financial risk, this isn't Castillo's contract... this is a ONE YEAR DEAL. Perform, don't perform, get injured, squirt bleach on reporters... he's gone at year's end.) The Mets have "4 guys." That's about accurate. Three of them are coming off injury, and only one of them-- speaking frankly-- has been an above-average major-league starter (taking into account both performance and durability) over the course of his career. The Mets may have an average/above-average rotation if everything goes right. You don't normally want to plan for an 'if-everything-goes-right' scenario... but, hell, if you do, you want to raise that ceiling as much as possible. ESPECIALLY if you have the competitive advantage of the 2nd-or-3rd fattest wallet in your particular field. maybe some kid stole the wallet at recess..Mets playing the whole off-season cheap

Smoltz is 42 years old with 102 innings total in 2009-09...Do the Mets want that? To hear the mets were interested in Pineiro and failed pisses me off

Is it possible Ollie Perez just blows?

The Mets are so depressing. I'm going back to the Jets and Syracuse threads. I saw 10 million guaranteed on CBS and an A's interest in Damon On to Smoltz
