I added a slightly more recognizable picture of Matt Holliday.

Other than Fielder, I don't know who those guys are

I think I have it figured out (left to right)
Fielder, Endy, Holliday, and Aroldis Chapman

is that Endy Chavez?
between Fielder and Holliday
by nelsonc on Oct 7, 2009 11:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
It is
It was hard to find a big enough picture that was more obviously him.

it doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility that we might get Endy back
by JoshNY on Oct 8, 2009 11:33 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I want
Holliday, Endy and Chapman. I can live without Fielder because we’ll probably have to give up too many prospects for him and I like Ike.

I'd also have to consider the fact that we need a pitcher (proven) too.
The lineup would be ridiculous if we got those three.
Reyes
Castillo
Beltran
Fielder
Wright
Holliday
Pagan/Francoeur
Thole/Omir
I could probably live with that.

i agree...

Babe Ruth?
Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.
by Greenpoint Ian on Oct 8, 2009 12:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
common misconception
Babe Ruth wasn’t really that fat, at least not until the end (which is when most photos of him were taken, hence the misconception.)

fair enough
I just don’t think the Mets should shy away from Prince Fielder just because of his waistline. I mean, he’s 25 years old and he hits the tar out of the ball. Sure, maybe his weight means he’ll be washed up by the time he’s 34, but that’s still a long ways away.

yea, I don't disagree
I just like to drop baseball history knowledge whenever I get a chance haha

I don't know
I think he will have serious knee or ankle issues developing within 3-4 years which will probably make a move to DH the more sensible path. He is seriously huge.

I thought the Mariner was Ken Griffey Jr.
and I thought for a second you had jumped the shark.

This is confusing
Especially since Eric keeps changing the picture!

I keep changing the picture
because nobody recognizes the genius!

The first version I saw had five faces.
I think there were two Endys. Having two Endys patrolling the outfield would be pretty awesome.

It's like they always say
2 Endys is better than 74 Adam Dunns.

You could probably just go with a two man outfield and use another infielder. Mike Pelfrey would win 20 games.

Geez, why would the Mets want Endy Chavez back?!
I guess the lineup isn’t weak enough that we can stand another guy who can’t hit the ball 250 feet? Forget the current obsession with defense. the return of Beltran and Reyes will elevate the D significantly. The team’s biggest problem by a mile was/is the inability to hit the longball. If they don’t come up with a solution for that, next year will be more of the same.

Allow me to introduce you to
Messrs Washington and Roosevelt.

The Mets don't need to improve just one aspect of the team
We had bad hitting, awful pitching, and terrible defense this year.
Endy’s defensive advantage over Jeremy Reed or Jeff Francoeur is just as real and valuable as Carlos Delgado’s offensive advantage over Daniel Murphy.
Beltran’s health is not assured going forward, and we need a real backup CF.

If we're going to be cheaper
we should sign Endy’s brother, Ender Chavez

Bille Beane, Nose Tackle?

He's not big enough to be a nose tackle in 3-4 defense
He’d have to be a tackle in a 4-3 defense.
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

I love it
Hopefully, the Cards go quietly in the postseason, so Holliday doesn’t have a chance to jack up his price (aka pulling a Beltran).
I would love Endy — really anything that lets me think about that catch is fine by me.
Won’t pretend to know anything about Chapman other than he’s Cuban, throws hard and might be anywhere between 21 and 26 years old.
Do people think we have a real shot at Prince?

Endy Chavez
is coming off serious surgery on his leg, isn’t he?
by TheBigStapler on Oct 8, 2009 11:37 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
endy
i liked endy, and wouldn’t mind seeing him come back to the mets, but should he really be a top free agent target for the mets? he seems been a 1.0 WAR player the last three years.
by englishgrey on Oct 8, 2009 1:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
this makes sense
but I don’t think that was really Eric’s point, in any case. I’m figuring he’s on there for sentimental reasons as much as anything else.
by JoshNY on Oct 8, 2009 3:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he has been good in limited playing time the last 3 years
and he is cheap relative to his performance
