I agree with that, but I'm not spending money at short stop instead of the OF and 1B.

Rankings be damned, the proof in the pudding is that neither player is what the Mets thought they would be. The fact they'e still clinging to Davis in particular is proof that that has not sunk in...

Bingo!


This is why you never see money spent at the deadline, they have already decided they like the projected profit as it is, no point spending extra on talented players that may not be the...

He just doesn't want anyone putting the blame where it really lies - his beloved Coupons, both in the present, and over the DISASTROUS 25 years they have owned this team, to a lesser extent...

Who cares where Ike was rated before the 2010 season? he stinks.

Wright and Reyes were developed a decade ago.

To be fair these guys were overrated by the org to start with.

To the wider question, this team is one of the worst in sports, no wonder it can't develop talent. Virtually nothing on offense for a...

You'd include yourself in that then, as a Mets fan?

Ya think TC is the man behind watching Ike Davis every night?

I don't.

I agree the Mets need big bats, the problem is we don't have a single one. DW is a nice #3 hitter. Murph can hit. Ike is useless, Duda is useless and the rest of the OF is trash. I don't want to hear...

Sure it counts, but you're wrong about the Coupons.

There's never been a plan outside of cutting payroll and having the Wilpon's keep the team, that's the entire scope of the Bud Selig/Fred Wilpon/Sandy Alderson project.


That's it, that's the...

In your opinion. Wilpon is a crook and a liar.

And all those teams can carry those players, as they're in contention and better than the Mets.

He's had money to spend already according to Fred and not spent it. 'It was Sandy's decision'.

With reference to the comments about the Mets financial state and ability to spend, that's only if...

Alderson has a lot to prove, I give him 2 out of 10 so far.

If they don't pass like they did last year....

Hawkins or Giolito.

No, the standings and the roster.

The Mets are making an even bigger laughing stock of themselves now, It's almost June and he is hitting .150 with no signs of improvement and his defense is awful.

Three years in and the naysayers on Alderson and his regime are way ahead of the game.

With falling revenue and Fredo's caveat, we'll be seeing a lot less being spent than people envisage IMO.


To answer the questions raised in post 1, through failing to improve for years on end...

They won't spend anywhere near that on new players.

I blame the GM for that.

Lame.

Dreeeeeeam, dream dream dream dreeeeeeam.

No-one cares about 1982. Your parallels with the 80s are junk.

Or will I now be asked to write off 2014 too because, hey, we have to continue to let the young kids develop, nearly all of whom are still in the low minors.


Yes. This is exactly what I have...
