Fuckin' idiot.

Bud Harrelson was the shortstop for a decade, and then he wasn't. And he was a human being. Folks move on. And that's why we still, to this day, call Wilmer "Buddy." We don't move on easily, friend.

HahnSolo wrote: Any chance we can make an offer to pry Adam Jones from the Os? He's 30 and 3 years left on his deal at about $16mill per. Kind of feel like he'd fit in great in this lineup. They'll need a catcher with Wieters leaving via FA (we have d'Arnaud & Plawecki) They could use a starter (we have depth there�Matz?) And a prospect (Nimmo?) I have no idea if Matz/Plawecki/Nimmo would get me laughed off the phone or if that's giving up way too much. I realize Jones is one of their foundation guys, so they'll probably need to be blown away. I don't know, maybe Jones isn't the right guy, but I'd kind of like the Mets to be working the trade angle more than the FA angle here. I would do probably catcher/starter/young arm for Jones.

arbitrated.

Curtis Granderson has become one of my favorite Mets; I really enjoy watching him.

And Joe Petruccio's book, which is the most awesome book of all.

Yeah, that was my point on Montero exactly.

I noticed that of all of these early Harvey covers, there's no mention yet of Batman. It will be interesting to see when that first surfaces. (I've collected these covers but haven't analyzed them at all.) I suspect that as we get deeper into the season, it will be a rare Matt Harvey cover that doesn't allude to Batman in some way. Wasn't the Daily News instrumental in coining the phrase if I recall? I wouldn't be surprised if it only shows up there. I thought it came from the SI article, whenever that was. -
d'Kong76 wrote: And just another slant, the Mets had approximately 15 players aged 25 and under this season. Of course the payroll is lower, the younger guys don't make as much? Just thinking out loud. That's definitely a piece of it, and as such, it means that on one hand, they should have some payroll flexibility on the upper end, and on another hand, they need to figure out what they've got with some of these kids and get them on longer deals, and on yet another hand, that's an excuse for the Wilpons to be like "What? We only have to pay Harvey $500K, so that's all we're paying him." You have to take care of Harvey, Familia, and Duda before arbitration, and then get Flores, d'Arnaud, and deGrom signed for safety as well.

One year, $15 million. That's your qualifying offer. You want it? Take it. You want more? Enjoy Dodger blue, Murph. We'll remember you fondly.

Put Alex Gordon in the mix? -

It's May 9, 2027 in my OOTP career league, and I just realized that three of my bench guys have unusual stat lines: Backup 1B: 4 for 33, 4 HR Backup C: 3 for 13, 3 HR Backup 3B: 2 for 11, 2 HR Nine hits among them (for a robust .161 BA), but they're all home runs. Odd.

Edgy MD wrote: I don't think he should be considered a headache. Injured players happen. I know, but IF there was any organizational frustration (is he hurt, yes he is, no he's not), then I could see another team being happy to take on that kind of promise.

Edgy MD wrote: Montero missed the most of the season with shoulder soreness, but the Mets were never able to diagnose anything. He kept trying to return and coming up short. Latest report say that he's feeling great and that he may pitch winter ball to do some catching up. Wouldn't be surprised to see him be a throw-in somewhere this winter -- let him become someone else's headache.

Let him go. You can't overpay for one amazing month. Thanks for the memories, friend.

Mets � Willets Point wrote: And I know people don't like to admit it, but the other team was pretty damned good and exploited the Mets' weaknesses. The best team in baseball doesn't always win, but in 2015, I think they did (c/w 2000 and 2006 where the Mets lost to clearly inferior teams). Very much agree. Our strengths were pitchers who strike guys out and batters who hit home runs. We didn't strike anyone out and our home runs didn't amount to enough.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Let's be honest with ourselves: Regardless of your expectations going into the year, and notwithstanding how heroically and deservedly they earned their way in, we have to confront the reality that the Mets played like absolute shit in this series, and that really sucks. We all understand how hard it is to get in. Then to go out and put up 4 stinkers out of 5. So disheartening. I feel like they owed themselves, and the baseball-watching world, a better effort. I agree, but that was also a weakness of this team. Our big guns -- Duda and Cespedes -- are streaky as hell, and were ice cold. Defensively, Wilmer and Murphy ain't exactly Ozzie Smith and Tom Herr If Tom Herr Was a Good Defensive Second Baseman I Don't Remember to begin with. Tyler Clippard didn't record an out after August. Yes, they played like shit, but in a five-game stretch, sometimes that happens.
