desparately need murphy back
- 74,921
- 24,338
this whole team needs to be blown up. only a handful of these position players are winners.
- 3,602

that's a discussion for the off season. need wright back also.
- 74,921
- 24,338
wright's never coming back the same player. this team really needs to move forward thinking he's done for his career instead of holding out hope he magically returns to 2006 form. you gotta find a way to dump cuddyer and grandson's contracts and you gotta trade our only chips for young position players who may have a chance to develop. trade murphy, colon and niese at the deadline, see which prospects you can get and move on. this is a team with an 82 win ceiling. you have pathetic defenders littered across the field, guys that consistently have poor at bats wasting money, you gotta do the smart thing and shed salary asap. it'll only get worse.

I agree with all of this. D Wright has never returned to his 2006 form and now with this injury, that will never happen.
And colon has been great but it wont last, trade while hes hot.

I 100% want them to shed salary and firesale rather than be rash and get some scrub vet bat.
If they had balls, they'd make a push for a big time young hitter and just sign Price and Upton in the offseason to make this a world series team but we know the Wilpons dont have money balls or a desire to win.

i trust sandy will do what's best for the team, short/long term. with this stable of pitchers, if they keep performing and improving, will be a lot easier to justify spending for bats
- 74,921
- 24,338
i have 0 reason to trust sandy.
he inherited matz, harvey and degrom. he went out and got wheeler, thor and d'arnaud, great jobs there. then he signed grandy and cuddyer which were god awful ideas. he's done nothing to improve the offense. farm system is still barren. this team is doomed. if these pitchers, whom all have had tommy john surgery except thor and matz, get hurt again. bye bye birdy.

they didn't take on long term contracts for huge amounts of money. think grandy dea is up this year and cuddyer is on 1 yr deal. they didn't know what thye had in their pitching and now that we have a bigger sample size, he could make moves accordingly. mets aren't winning it all this year but still have to field a passable lineup without spending any money.
i would love to see a complete rebuild of the lineup as well minus duda, lagares and maybe flores, as crazy as that sounds, only cause he's cheap and shown he could hit some.

9 runs scored during their 7gm losing streak. oh my
- 74,921
- 24,338
Grandy is making 16 million plus till 2017. Cuddyer is making 8.5 million to ground into game ending double plays and contribute atrocious defense. He's signed to 2016. These are guys past their prime who will only get worse throughout their contracts.
- 3,602

oh wow, thought grandy was done after this year. hold up, they signed him to 4 yrs?! holy **** i was off. take back what i said about sandy haha.
- 74,921
- 24,338
4 years 77mill or so. For a career 230 hitter after 32 years old. Pathetic.

There's a rumor that Mets plan to call up Steven Matz today.
I will post it later when it's confirmed.

AKA adding another arm to lose 1-0 or 2-1 every 5th day.

degrom is so nasty.
been hearing the matz news as well. i'll take the low scoring games all day. soon, the win/losses will even out, hopefully in the mets favor. also means the pitching is really good.

no sense bringing matz up until you make a move with niese or colon.

6 man rotation lol
- 20,507
- 15,103
Looks like Alderson is trying to make a trade to make a room for Matz.
Either Colon or Niese will get traded.

And we're back to the 6 man rotation unless a trade goes down or mets luck then colon or niese go on waivers like gee. But either of those dudes would get picked up.

Steven Matz is expected to start Sunday for the #Mets against the #Reds in the Long Island native's major league debut.
It's a shame that I won't be around in NYC this weekend. I will be in Ohio.
Good luck to Matz.

This is such a Wilpon move. They know the fans are angry and desperate so they call up their best prospect instead of making a move. Great idea in theory except he doesn't fix any of the holes the mets have. Colon or niese better be traded ASAP.
