I think the player development has been decent lately. It isn't being noticed partly because the big league team has been shedding MLB talent rather than adding it to supplement the young players. ...

They refinanced SNY and paid off some of the team debt. So $450B debt now on SNY and maybe $400B on the team. But those two assets combined must be worth at least $2.5B. Revenues for the two...

I'll take it.

It's not their personal loans, he must be talking about SNY and team loans.

Those don't really have to be paid off in 2014, that should be a pretty routine refinancing.

Yeah, I've been warming up to Smith after watching more video. One of the top overall bats in this draft. A better athlete than guys like Moran and Peterson. I think the MLB.com video isn't that...

And our best overall outfielder is clearly Byrd. If the best players should play, then Byrd should be out there every day.

I'm still wondering when Wally Ball is going to start happening in Vegas.

Agree. TC did the right thing and said the right things. If he gets fired, it's because the team isn't performing. But his handling of Valdespin has been appropriate.

If anything, I'm...

Well there's no Mike Trout or Bryce Harper there, but no one said we had an elite offensive system.

But we've got d'Arnaud who's basically considered a top 10 prospect in MLB. Then we've got...

On that note, I think they ought to demote Valdespin. If things aren't right in the clubhouse, I think he might be part of the problem.

Not really.

First off, it's not at all impressive for college bats like Plawecki and Boyd to post good numbers in the SAL. Under Omar, some guys skipped that level altogether if they were...

Agree. I'd like a HS guy like Travis Demerritte at pick #48, and maybe guys like AJ Vanegas and Jacoby Jones at picks #76 and #84. In round 1, Renfroe looks good if he's there, but otherwise I...

Both should go, but what to do about a manager should probably be left up to a new GM.

Not signing Hairston was one of Sandy's better moves this offseason.

That said, Sandy hasn't done much to impress, overall.

But, it's only his third season, give him a chance!

Besides,...

Nimmo is looking pretty good as well. I would say d'Arnaud, Nimmo, Puello, Flores, Plawecki, and Aderlin Rodriguez all look like potential big league regulars. That's not a stellar group of...

The Mets farm system has the 3rd best offensive team in the FSL and the 4th best offensive team in the SAL. In AA and AAA our teams are middle of the pack. the B-Mets, 7th of 12th in the EL, are...

No set date, but it's pretty easy to figure it will be from early to mid-June. Might as well wait the month and save the $5M+. Why would we be more worried about a few starts in May when the guy is...

If he were ready a month ago, and the team was playing well, and you thought we might even have a shot to be surprise contenders this year, it didn't make sense to worry about super-two. But if he's...

In 2011 in St. Lucie, Den Dekker and Puello split time in CF, Lagares played mostly LF. It looked like he could play some CF, but needed more time there. In 2012, he split time with Den Dekker in...

Angel Pagan.

Cuan.

I think down the road he may well end up a platoon partner of someone like Den Dekker or Nieuwenhuis. But for now it's not a bad idea to get him some PA. Jordanny should get some starts as well,...

Puello is certainly more likely to help in the outfield.

And I don't see a big gap overall, either. Puello is 4 months older than Flores, with similar minor league numbers, and better overall...

I think the tools are actually similar to Marlon Byrd (who topped out as around an .800 OPS guy at his peak). Not 35-year old Byrd, but when he was younger. Puello's a bit taller, but similar body...

The only good thing about Cowgill, Baxter, and Byrd is that they prevent us from seeing more of Nieuwenhuis, Valdespin, and Lagares.

It's a mediocre roster, and a pretty mediocre job of managing it. Most of the management criticisms though wouldn't make much difference, and not everyone agrees on what should be different.

We...
