    He accumulated 2WAR last year. That'd be forth on the Mets offense... ...in only 60 games. He's got a very team friendly contract, is one of the best players in the game, and is only going into his age 30 season. If he's available, you want him.

I was with most of my family and some friends, given Fireworks night was an annual tradition. (and part of the reason the park was still packed, and still loud) My brother was disturbed that the Uppers was shaking. It was really slow at first, given that there were a lot of changes and walks and such. Then suddenly focus got intense as we started to realize that it wasn't just some worthless runs, that they were actually making a comeback. On the way home we listened to Steve Somers since the postgame was well over. His monologue was a lot of "You thought the game was over...and then there was the Eight Inning. The Mets were going to lose to the Braves again...and then there was the Eighth Inning." Would love to find a recording of that monologue if it exists.

Cano's $310 million request is over 10 years. Passive voice and all, but probably credible. These things get out. Usually accurately. hmm. Well, hypothetically I might sign him at 160/7, maybe a little less, but I'm not sure I get into a bidding war over him. now, if said 7th year is an option year..

    Edgy MD wrote: What Cano has asked for isn't really the most relevant data. What matters is the the $160 million over seven years that the Yankees have offered. I'm not advocating, but there are worse people to throw that kind of munny at. seems like second baseman go down hill fast, but Cano's sorta really good and all. $160 over 7 seems too long, but hell, even if this just pushes up the price for the Yankees.. Did the Yankees actually offer that, or is that the "rumored guess at what they think he's worth leaked by 'official with knowledge'"?

    regardless of what he did offensively, he's got a case, as the Mets did explicitly manipulate his service time to play a washed up guy who's arguably worse.

    I've always kinda like Markakis. hey look, he's from Glen Cove! but given the contract values, I'd rather gamble on Ike having a second-half performance all year (hey, Ike's had a better stretch more recently than Nick). Yeah, need an OF and you can replace Ike with Duda which minimizes Lucas' one major deficit, but looking at guys like Byrd and Hairston who have good years, you can probably find someone to man a corner for waaaay cheaper.

    Edgy MD wrote: Frayed Knot wrote: The team has a better argument from the rookie standpoint in that they can always claim that we just didn't think he was ready yet. Except that teams have taken to more or less explicitly admitting when they are intentionally delaying arbitration. Indeed, and it's not like they weren't playing a worse option. Does whatever value they gain over that extra year of free agency really offset the damage they've done via leaving him down, and being so down on him overall? Everyone knows the Mets don't value him very much, so why would they give up anything to get him? This is made even worse if they get a SS like Peralta. To me it almost looks like they're going going all or nothing with Tejada. He'll get some reps this season and become marketable or useful, or they'll sever ties.

    are the Tigers definitely out? I wouldn't rule out the Phillies, since Rollins kinda sucks.. Plus he has a vesting option with 434 PA next year that gets him a 2015 contract at 11M. And hell, signing a guy that's only a bit younger while you still have a SS seems right up the Phillies alley. Dunno what it's estimated Peralta is going to get, but the teams you have left up there seem to suggest that maybe no one's looking to blow him out of the water. 2/18 plus an option?

    Lefty Specialist wrote: Looks like another winter of shopping in the clearance aisle, hoping one or two has a Marlon Byrd-type breakout. Next year is about getting the kids their reps and figuring out how to structure the team in 2015. I'd be shocked if they did something major because the minute Harvey went under the knife plans should have changed. and when Wheeler has Tommy JOhn next offseason we'll wait until 2016. Really, unless everything goes perfectly, keep pushing the goal posts.

    John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Interesting stuff from Tracky there. If the way you pitched indexed perfectly with your character, Marcum was the biggest fucking asshole this team has had in a long while. It seemed like no one mentioned Marcum's character until about a day before the injury was announced and then suddenly "ohh, btw, this guy is a horrible asshole" Marcum's also the guy the Mets spent money on and the "bona fide" free agent that previously the Mets were getting knocked for not signing anyone.

    I mean, it's not like there is a lot to praise. I read it more as a "stop pretending we're the '62 Mets" type comment.

The media proclaiming Choo as a good fit and talking about how the Mets might want to get him is not the same as "confirming their interest in Choo"

    I didn't even know they let Baumer go.

You know, if he transferred to cricket today, within two years he'd be the top cricketer on the planet. Baseball is lucky to have him. Indeed. And he had a really good year last year too. I don't really care about the Pirates finally being relevant, but I'm glad he got his couple of games on the big stage, hopefully he becomes known as one of the stars of the game he is.
