It was strange looking at the Mets roster - minus one R.A. Dickey.
This trade needs to work for us or it'll be 2020 before we reach sea level again.
One of the reasons why you listed Dickey as a top 10 Met of all-time is because he was traded for two top prospects.Quote:

Alderson looks like a mastermind acquiring these prospects for Dickey if they reach their potential and even if they don't so what, you weren't going to seriously compete even with Dickey.Quote:

I'd be nice if the favorites could stay in the same uniform but sports aren't set up like that anymore. While Ill always be a Mets fan, I've learned to cheer for special players and not just a uniform. I'll always be a Dickey fan and wish him the best. He defined class while here. Kudos to management for getting what look like great pieces for RA.
I disagree. Having such a small payroll means we have flexibility. Should some of these prospects flounder (and no doubt some of them will) we'll have the ability to correct the mistakes through FA.Quote:

Oh well Good Luck R. Eh. and thanks for the memories
you know even if he doesn't do all that well this year for the Jays(which I don't see any sign of that happening) he can still hold his head up and be proud that he achieved a CAREERS worth of experiences in one season...think about it...Becoming an all-star....winning 20 games....winning the Cy-Young....now being an All-Star can be a multi-time event for a lot of guys...but how many pitchers have multiple 20W seasons or Mulitple Cy Youngs?(yes I know there are a few) but what I am saying is...even if he never reaches this pinnacle again...he lived a lifetime(in baseball terms) in 2012, and It was our honor and privilege to share in it with him.

That's changing water into wine type of miracle.
LOL! The good news is that I always said you don't need a church to worship Robert Allen. Feel free to hold his greatness in your heart.Quote:
