    market value continually goes up. (and one could argue, rightly) if 4/80 is market value for Ben Zobrist, than it is. Looks like it's not, but if Zobrist is the best fit, the Mets should pay whatever it takes to get him.

    if age is the only factor we're looking at, Just play Herrara, Conforto, and Flores and hope they work out. Free agents don't tend to be young and the ones that do tend to demand contracts that take them until they're not. Like Heyward. He's a nice player. But he's not quite a centerfielder from the reports. (he's only played there very little) Sure, he hits like an elite centerfielder, but not so much in a corner. (he was the 8th best wRC+ RFer last year) He would've been 5th in LF (Behind Zobrist) And last year was his best year in a bunch and he might have gotten a few breaks to get there. I dunno that that guy's worth a large contract on the hope that he won't be embarrassing and negate the advantage (especially going forward) in center.

I have another friend (a mets fan in easton assassins) whose uncle (not sure if he's a mets fan) is interested in joining. any objections? any other takers? any other dirty no-good dropouts? I'm looking forward to all the interesting keeper decisions that come down the road. I'm also still trying to figure out why anyone would've put arbitration dollars on ricky weeks. honestly.... I.. just don't get it. oops, yeah, I got the uncle's email address and then promptly forgot to compose and send the invite email.

    Is he AT the meetings? Jeff Wilpon apparently showed up and people seem to be taking that as "oh, gotta get someone to sign the check so this is a sign"

    the beat writers/national guys seem pretty confident that the Mets will end up with Zobrist this week.
  7. Ceetar
    even if we're assuming that these comments even mean as much as thinly veiled negotiation ploys and not just "reporters need me to say something" Zobrist is coveted by everyone and it doesn't really make sense to play coy with him. You want to him to feel like him signing here makes him the man, gets him another ring, etc.

    I don't feel like arguing about these players again, but I will say this I wouldn't take anything a (Mets) official says publicly about their plans. Especially when it's John Ricco acting as a proxy.

    the paper on the Melissa & Doug fridge magnets are not safe to get wet, just fyi. A toddlers mouth for example, is fairly wet and makes the paper get ruined. poor goat.

    if you adjust that for park, Johnson has a 102 OPS+ and Zobrist a 117. Johnson has a 103 career wRC+, Zobrist a 118. Zobrist is a very good hitter, Johnson is average. To say nothing of defense and speed.
  12. Ceetar
    Kelly Johnson kinda sucks though. Herrara is a complete wild card (And Flores might not be a good SS) and if you're not trusting Cuddyer in the OF mix, he's not a candidate for long-stretch David Wright replacement either, which might be something they should factor in.
  13. Ceetar
    I still put some blame on Conforto for that ISTP too.

    I wonder if they'll throw a curve and pick a different sponsor for the porch.

Not voting for someone is actively voting for him to not be a Hall of Famer, it probably won't happen to eligible guys cause enough will spread the love around, but he shouldn't be voting based on what the other voters are likely to do.

    There's added value for the Mets to 'overpay' Zobrist a little more if the Nationals are the frontrunners for him. bigger swing.

Phencyclidine (PCP) Looks like Cocaine is generally out of your system in a few days so probably hard to catch if you're not a chronic user.

    Mr. Met and the Coke polar bear are supposed to be attending the NYSE stock bell ringing on Monday, indicating deal with Coke in the offing. Met sponsor-sellers are busy: Got email last week that the club will announce deets shortly of the 2016 Mr. Met Kids Club Presented by Melissa & Doug. Those 2 couldn't be bothered to present shit the last couple of years. I've got some Melissa & Doug farm magnets on my fridge.

    hmm, didn't think Fowler was that good, but those are some pretty nice numbers, particularly for a CFer. He's been streaky with the defensive numbers, but was average last year after being pretty bad in 2014, mostly by making a lot more of the 'Likely' plays. I'd blame that on a smaller Wrigley but he had a similar year with the Rockies two years ago. I wonder what he's expected to get, money-wise.
  25. Ceetar
    Red Sox scored plenty of runs, allowed a ton of runs. Suppressing the second is a huge thing for them next year. If they can round out the rotation with another above average pitcher, they might be favorites.
