New York Mets Offseason WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! [Archive] - Page 17

09-06-2008, 07:22 PM

Gotta tip your hand to Myers yesterday.
Team needs to hit Moyer like last time, just not impode in the pen like last time.

I'm going to the night game tomorrow; I am concerned about the chaos trying to park for that.

no comments on Mike Schmidt's email?
The Mets know you're better than they are. They remember last year. You guys are never out of a game.

what most Phils fans don't get is last year was about the Mets losing it, not the Phils winning it. As long as the Mets continue to play good baseball (especially on defense), they will win this thing.

They need to win 9 of the next 12 at the very least before that Cubs series.

And 11-7 against the Phillies this year and it probably should have been closer to like 14-4.

That 6 game swing will most likely be the difference between the two teams this year

Wagner out for 2009 season? (http://www.nypost.com/seven/09082008/sports/mets/sny__wagner_out__could_miss_2009_season__128113.ht m)

09-08-2008, 11:01 AM

whew

this series is the tell tale sign of our season

The Nats are inferior, but playing gr8 baseball, plus they have players who felt dissed by the Mets. The Nats will be trying their hardest to win

we need 2 out of 3

anything less is not acceptable

um, isn't it a 2 game series?

I was at shea last night; as Howie Rose said on the radio, maybe Charlie Manuel screwed the game by arguing the catcher interference- it really pumped the crowd and threw Hammels.

yes, wagner being out sucks, although at least they can plan.

He's going to get an outrageous contract.

While the Mets do give those out, they may want to take a pass.

Fuentes isn't a bad option, but the Mets would probably get more value shopping for a lockdown 8th inning guy, who can step in when Wagner makes his inevitable trips to the DL next season.

Someone like Jon Rauch....or maybe taking a shot on rehabbing Chad Cordero who will be non-tendered, with the goal of him being an 8th inning guy who can fill in.

09-08-2008, 01:51 PM

when Wagner makes his inevitable trips to the DL next season.
I guess you didnt see my post.

Tommy John surgery; all of next year is DL (or pretty much all of next season)

I have to back track and say that so the Phils getting Lidge was a good move for them and bad for Mets.

NickyL0885

Wags is gone for good, then.

He said he was retiring after '09.

The more I think about it, the more I think they'll make a run at K-Rod.
a) he's Latino.
b) I don't think the Mets are going to make a run at any A-list starters, and while they MAY make a run at a Manny or Burrell in LF, I doubt they'll really make a serious one.

So, K-Rod may be the big splash move, heading into the new park.

BeerBandit

09-09-2008, 04:42 AM

who's available in the offseason ???

wait here it is

Closers
Brian Fuentes (33)-lost closer role
Eric Gagne (33)-3 years past glory
Eddie Guardado (38)-8 years past glory
Trevor Hoffman (41)-really shouldn't be a closer anymore
Jason Isringhausen (36)- didn't we have him already?
Todd Jones (41)- c'mon. Todd Jones?
Brandon Lyon (29)-how is he still in the league?
Francisco Rodriguez (27)-no,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Salomon Torres (37) - isn't about time for this guy to retire, again?
Kerry Wood (32)- throw in Mark Prior while we're at it

Here's who's available: Any pitcher who can't make it as a starter. Relief pitchers suck. If your name isn't Mariano Rivera you're just another 1 inning pitcher with only 2 pitches. Let's give Kunz a shot.

I agree ... Mo is a freak of nature, and when someone says "Hey K-Rod broke the single season save record", all I can think is, "what did it do to his arm and why are we signing him to a long term contract?"

I don't see Manny or Burrell. If Church is back and solid, LF can be filled with Evans/Murphy/F-Mart, etc.

They will need to spend on one starter- either re-signing Ollie or getting his replacement.

as BeerBandit said, relievers suck. Outside of a precious few (Mariano, Nathan, Hoffman to a degree) relievers aren't good long term investments. Who were big relievers a few years ago? Gagne, Cordero, Hudson Street, Turnbow...
Lidge bounced back, but he was awful with 'Stros at the end.

I look at closers like Running Backs ... I don't want my team to sign someone who's been the feature back of a team for 4 years, they ran him like a horse through the playoffs a couple years ... some team will get high looking at his 1,800 yards from the previous season, sign him for a monster contract, and act suprised when he appears to have lost a step or two. Occasionally you get someone who can put together 10-14 years worth of consistent results, but thats so rare compared to the norm. No K-Rod thank you.

An interesting note from Gammons: "David Wright has come up with more runners on base and more runners on third than any player in the National League."

That's why his numbers feel kinda hollow. Hope the day off can get his head right, he can correct his swing and start going opposite field.

If it rains tonight, they cannot play a double header Wednesday. Gotta play it Thursday on the common off day, both teams staying east coast after. makes sense.

And Lannan scares me for some reason. He really impressed my in the beginning of the year and I've kept my eye on him hoping that he wouldn't pitch against us in a big spot cuz I think he's pretty good. 3.88 era should have more wins than he does. Hope they can get him early.

Heres an question to ponder. Lets say Maine does come back and goes in the pen. lets say he does great. Next season, is he a starter or reliever? I hope its the former. I mean, I feel we are weaker without Maine in the rotation. Yes he has high pitch counts but when hes on, he can be this teams #2 easily.

I just read the conversation on Closer's and I agree with the group consensus. The Closer is the riskiest position to fill in baseball. Honestly, I'd be happy if a team just plays the hot hand for their closer. I'm surprised you don't see more bullpen's by committee in baseball. If you have 2 or 3 really good relievers in a bullpen, I'd rather play match-up's than stick someone in a dogmatic closer role. Unless of course, you have Mariano Rivera on your team.

I asked who would the Mets get for the rotation if Ollie Perez isn't re-signed. I said I didn't want Ben Sheets b/c of his injuries. Adam Schein agreed with me. He said the Mets should get C.C. Sabathia and put Heilmann in the rotation. Frank Isola agreed about Heilmann but said Mussina could be in the Mets rotation.

And quite frankly, the Mets are irrelevant at this point...if they come into Philadelphia in early July and win three of four or sweep...maybe I'll rethink that statement.

But in reality...who cares. They're second tier right now.

According to Scot Schoeneweis, Billy Wagner has already been told that the Mets won't pick up his $8 million option for 2010.
That's what Wagner told Schoeneweis yesterday, and it fits in with Wagner saying he's already thrown his last pitch as a Met. This whole situation has been pretty odd from the get go, with practically everyone already assuming that Wagner is going to miss all of 2009. We've seen veteran relievers make it back from Tommy John surgery after 9-10 months. If Wagner isn't even going to try to return before the end of the season, then one could argue that he'd be in violation of his contract.

The issue with the insurance is going to get tricky I think. I don't think they will be able to recoup any of the money, but who knows

Reyes hasn't had a good September so far, but Delgado, Beltran, Wright, Tatis and Murphy have been making up the difference

Its going to come down to the bullpen to decide if we are the division champs or the wild card.

We still have 2 games up in the loss column, although we have two games in hand (we make one of them up tonight, the other on Sept. 25.)

The next 7 games are huge...We need at least 5 wins...Hopefully the Cubs will have their division wrapped up in this next week and we wont be playing their "A" Team.

The last series with the Marlins looms huge...We're going to have Pelfrey, Santana and Perez to finish the year.

I've been saying it for a while; it's not as much the bullpen, it's the offense not living to what they should be.

He will probably platoon in left to start. The winter ball 2b thing is to see if he can become a utility guy at least. He was an ok 3b in minors, but Wright has him blocked there. I don't know if they want him to be full time second baseman; I heard mets will go after Orlando Hudson. They DO like Murphy though.

Maybe Stokes can give us more good innings than bad also.

they are sending him to winter ball to learn 2B and they will shop Castillo and pay 3/4 of his contract.

I will send 50 bucks a week if it gets rid of that waste of a contract

Please let that actually happen. Murphy starting somewhere is a must ... getting rid of Castillo would be the icing on the cake.

there was a report they were highly considering making Murphy a 2B in the offseason and are going to shop Castillo. yeah it was the post, but hopefully it will come true.

If not, Murph can play LF. Fernando won't be ready yet. this kid can hit behind reyes for a long time if what we are seeing is really what he can provide

yeah, as was said, Murphy did start to play 2b at AA, but only got 15 games in; that is why they are sending him to Arizona to play it this winter. I still don't think they envision him as #1 choice there, but it is about flexibility. After all their top prospect now (Wilmer Flores) is a SS, as is last year's pick Reese Havens.

Interesting little article on Shea.

Show the Mets anything? I don't even understand what that means in a baseball sense. It's not like football with set plays.

Go Cubs!

Agreed. Those Cubs players aren't going to sit around for a week.

Pinella may be a bit more generous with giving guys with nagging injuries a day off here and there, but for the most part, the Mets will get most of the Cubs' strength.

Exactly. Sure they aren't going to do something silly like run a suicide squeeze...but they are still gonna show up and play. The real advantage is that the Cubs will be re-aligning their rotation for the playoffs.

Mind you, Milwaukee could be the major beneficiaries of such a realignment as they play the Cubs on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

And don't forget Dan Uggla has promised a bloodbath that final series of the season between the Mets and Marlins.

Whether Florida hangs in or not, they're coming to play.

If Milwaukee can just sustain a little bit, they've got a shot.

Odds are still in the Mets' favor, but Milwaukee has some life.

Unless something catastrophic happens, like the Phils pulling a Mets season-closer, we're talking about Mets vs. Marlins vs. DBack (unlikely) for a wildcard right?

Final Week Pitching Probables:

Chicago Cubs (Jason Marquis 10-9, 4.39) vs. New York Mets (Jonathan Niese 1-0, 4.09)
Chicago Cubs (Rich Harden 10-2, 2.03) vs. New York Mets (Johan Santana 14-7, 2.65)
Chicago Cubs (Carlos Zambrano 14-6, 3.77) vs. New York Mets (Oliver Perez 10-7, 4.10)
Chicago Cubs (Ted Lilly 16-9, 4.17) vs. New York Mets (Pedro Martinez 5-6, 5.50)
Florida Marlins (Chris Volstad 5-3, 3.07) vs. New York Mets (Mike Pelfrey 13-10, 3.67)
Florida Marlins (Ricky Nolasco 15-7, 3.52) vs. New York Mets (Jonathan Niese 1-0, 4.09)
Florida Marlins (Scott Olsen 8-10, 4.20) vs. New York Mets (Johan Santana 14-7, 2.65)

First off, I would be shocked if Niese makes two starts. I imagine the Mets will bump Santana up on three days rest to face Volstad if they need the game, and then throw Perez vs. Olsen the last day of the season, also on three days rest.

It also would not surprise me, if that last game of the season actually means something to the Marlins, if they bump Scott Olsen the last day of the season for Josh Johnson.

Now, looking at if objectively, I'd say the Mets will go anywhere from splitting with Chicago, to losing three of four, although, Zambrano and Harden will be on strict pitch counts so that plays to the Mets favor.

They should, on paper, take at least two of three from Florida.

So let's say 4-3 on paper, but tack on one loss of a game the Mets should win, but the bullpen blows, and I"ll say they go 3-4 down the stretch, meaning the Brewers would have to go 5-1 to force a playoff.

The odds would favor the Mets holding on to win the Wild Card

i have been too busy with my 3 day old new daughter. this team is driving me batty, but it will come down to the last weekend... oh and Fuck Dan Uggla. Funny how the marlins talk shit, yet they lay down against the phils. pussies

congrats on the baby girl. that's what's important, as you know.

as for this team, I have finally lost all of my optimism.
Yes, as KC pointed out they have a good chance still to be in the playoffs, but blowing 16 games makes me long for the days of Armando Benitez.

:sad:
