Tatis is the new A-Rod

Probably a slight drop in WAR at 3d base for the Dominican Republic.

Added note: this brings the total number of Mets in the WBC to 16. Great.

Forget third base

After looking at their outfield, they might want to start him out there.

Fuck the WBC.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

Indeed

Did you see the Mets’ starting lineup yesterday? Pee-yoo!

and I’ll say it again now: the Mike Piazza that was at the game yesterday was one of the top two or three Mets involved in the game. Nice to have an idea what the team will look like if the15 guys at the WBC all get injured, tho.

no, here's the choicest line:

Moises Alou, now an assistant GM/player for the Dominican team, actually tried to get Tatis on the team a few weeks ago. But Tatis waited until talking with Jerry Manuel and Omar Minaya “because my first responsibility is here with the Mets.”

Fuck the WBC. When does real baseball start?

There are 16 Mets in the WBC.

And this isn’t counting Pedro and Alou, who are playing for the DR.

"Probably a slight drop in WAR at 3d base for the Dominican Republic."

Seriously, that line killed me.

You forgot to mention that Tatis is like, way more clutch than ARod.

But neither of them have any rings.

So the argument is irrelevant; they both suck.

Well, I guess he wasn't good enough to beat the Netherlands.

I think it's safe to say

The Dominican coaches are retarded. Really Willie Aybar is a better option at first than Reyes? I don’t understand how they couldn’t find some way to play Jose, put Hanley in center, so you dont have to play those awful outfielders, put Reyes at third, put one of them at second I mean really is it that hard to think out of the box?
