Why so much talk of trading Niese? The Mets play in a pitchers ball park and Niese is one of the games best young lefties. After Santana is gone, Niese would become the veteran and would be in his...

Baseball America has Paxton as Seattle's #4 prospect & Franklin #5.
If Seattle is interested, would it be plausible to...
Sign Bourn, trade for Justin Upton, Kirk in LF.
(Ideal world)
Sign Nick Swisher.

I'd say the Mets need to take 1 year flyers on a Closer, some bullpen arms, an outfielder, a catcher, and a starting pitcher.
So just about every position.
so with the fences near the bullpen being moved in, does this suggest that there will be more renovations to the bullpen?
Try 10-12.
Paulino will be back too (he's arb eligible and he was good this year)

Well our defense does kind of shoot us in the foot quite often. "Same old Mets", "They find ways to lose games", ESPN's "Mets Not Top 10"
Look at the Braves dude! Their pitching has been so great that they've been able to overcome their offense being 17th in the MLB in runs scored and have the 4th best record in baseball. Seriously...
I really want to see the Mets win in 2011, but I feel like they are following a blueprint laid down by Giants GM Brian Sabean.
The Giants won 90+ games 5 season in a row from 2000-2004 sort of...
Most likely Mat Gamel and a pitcher that hasn't reached the majors yet. EDIT thought you said who and not when. I think mid-August would be a good guess. If one of the prospects is from the 2010...
When Halladay, Lee, Oswalt all get old and fizzle the Phillies will have no one in house to take their spots, that's about the time when Wheeler, Harvey, Mejia, Familia, Niese etcs. establish...
There was 1 out and he was already in scoring position, he would have scored on a two out single either way. The natural baseball instinct is to go halfway incase the ball is misplayed that way he...
Trade Murphy to Oakland for Michael Taylor & Daniel Straily. The Mets have Turner who can man 2B rest of season, Duda/Davis? @ 1st, and Taylor would play RF. As well there's Valdespin, Havens,...
Nimmo is 2 for 3 tonight 2 R, 5 RBI with 3B, HR, & 2 BB

I think there is still a goal to put fans in the seats so I wouldn't be surprised if these two moves are the only ones that Mr. Alderson makes this summer. He's probably praying Davis returns in...
Honestly the Mets need to figure out a way to give Big Pelf 20 starts a year at home and 10 on the road.
Career Home:
W-L: 29-22 IP: 455.2 ERA: 3.57 WHIP:1.31 HR: 25
Career Away:

I feel like Beltran will be traded for Mike Minor. I'd be so happy with that.
2012 Opening Day Rotation: (opening day age)
1. Santana (33)
2. Dickey (37)
3. Niese (25)
4. Gee (25)
5. Minor...
I'd be content with dealing Beltran for Mike Minor & Vizcaino. Think about how Niese is developing into one of the better Lefty SP in the league and is young. Now imagine having Harvey & Minor come...
A lot of folks are mentioning Bryce Brentz in a Beltran deal, I'd just like to say that had Minaya not dealt Wagner two summers ago for basically nothing, the Mets could have had the two draft picks...
FIRST off the Mets could never afford to pay Krod 17.5 Mil and try to be competitive in this winter's Free Agency. Now they really do have a boatload of money coming off of the books...
Beltran-...
To me it seems like all of the Mets good prospects are stuck in Rookie ball, A-, or A ball. There are maybe 3 offensive prospects at AA with 2-3 solid Pitching Prospects, and then at AAA there's...
If we were to somehow trade our face of the franchise, the only team I would look at as a legitimate trading partner would be the Los Angeles Angels.
First, I would not want Wright back in the...
