Nady is too inconsistent at the plate, and is possibly the worst defensive outfield I've ever seen play Have you seen Milledge play yet?

I thought people would get ticked off if I put a whole bunch of these and only two fit per page. Then I tried to put more space between the two columns but that just made the horizontal scroll bar pop up which I hate.

Not to say anything about the Mets or Glavine specifically, or even baseball in general, but when it comes time to talk dollars in this world I think it's rare that what was said when everyone was nice and trusting actually happens.

ScarletKnight41 wrote: The timeline is right. The drug use started in 1986. Rehab started during spring training 1987. And he was never again a dominating force. If this is correct, then it's hard to ignore. But if he was sniffing mirrors when he was a rookie then all bets are off. I've never read his autobiography, does it pinpoint 1986 as his first year?

I'm just hate the idea of making trades when you're feeling scrambled. If Sanchez had to get hurt, why couldn't it have been after 4 oclock yesterday. Freaking ballplayers are night owls.

So says the creator of the 2007 25-man roster thread.

]It's unfortunate to have to lose Nady, but 20+ homerun outfielders are fairly replaceable, I don't know how true that is. I think they are harder to find then 41 year old relievers. They are probably easier to find than good relievers, but I'd rather have taken a shot at what we already have and kept Nady around. ]and I'll be surprised if Nady exceeds that in the long haul. I dunno. He did hit 9 in just his first two months.

Willets Point wrote: Same here. I recall Doc being an excellent starting pitcher at least through 1991 and any dropoff in performance from his phenomenal 1985 to 1986 is just the natural order of things. I'm not sure that it can be definitively stated like this one way or the other. What we do know is that he had a drug problem and we do know that Mel was trying to fool with his mechanics. But you're right, to say whether of those attributed to his drop from '85 to '86 is probably not possible. ]I remember a dropoff as soon as he got back from Smithers. He never again had that focused look in his eyes that he had in 1984 and 1985. I am extremely wary of reading into the look in a player's eyes, and will argue against such reasonings the same way I argued against that writer from the post who claimed to be able to read ARod's body language. I thought his first trip to rehab was in 1987? If so, I'm not sure that it can be used to explain the dropoff from 1985 to 1986, unless my timeline is screwed up.

You know, zuck Fito. Unless you're ready to go with what's already Met property, the only other option is the dreaded trade market.

It's not automatic, but the team can pick it up without his consent.

Ugh. Looking at that list and keeping metsmarathon's breakdown of the pitchers (on the NL teams at least) in mind, my guess is that everyone and their mother is going to be trying to sign Zito.

That's good stuff, 62. If you ever hold a seminar let me know.

I'm glad Nady wasn't part of this game.

My point is we have pitchers kicking around who have shown something at the major league level.

That's what I was going from, but I'm not 100% sure how much of that book to believe.

="Rotblatt"]Perez could be the new Sid Fernandez in 2007, if you can picture Sid after an extended stint on �Survivor: Salad Aisle�. I'm not sure Sid would've survived that.

I see next year coming down to what starters we pick up. I think our core lineup and bullpen are solid.

MFS62 wrote: ="metirish"]I heard Rick Sutcliffe say on the ESPN game tonight that the Pirates changed the pitching motion of Perez after he won 12 games a few years ago,any truth to this?.I think if that's true then there is hope for him under Peterson. I heard Omar say that Perez' mechanics had changed, but didn't say how it happened. He added that as a result of that change, his velocity dropped. Didn't this happen to Doc, too?

]but the truth is he was exceeding expectations and still wasn't even an average hitter for a right fielder. Well I'm glad that's cleared up. Why couldn't anyone else tell me the truth and save me some grief? I'm rolling my eyes right now.
