Lineup
Pagan-Castillo-Wright-Beltran-Murphy-Frenchy-Thole-Hernandez-Redding
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
As Omar might say...
It almost, somewhat, kind of, you know resembles a major league lineup
by Bieser's Balk on Sep 8, 2009 6:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Minus Frenchy and Hernandez and adding Reyes and a Power hitting LF
That might be your 2010 New York Mets line up.And it’s not that bad

Your 2009 Mets...
Now featuring 2 players worth watching!
I count 5
Pagan-Castillo-Wright-Beltran-Thole
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
pagan is mostly worth watching for the comedic factor
ok a bit harsh, his bat is great, his fielding leaves something to be desired though. lets see how beltran looks in the field today

I would add Murph to the list
i want to see if he can keep hitting for power

I forgot about Thole
and Pagan is mildly interesting. Castillo, please, it’s been a nice season for him, but slapped singles and lazy 2b play is not “must-see TV”.

as long as it doesn't mean
he’s our 5th starter next year.
since Johan went down
he has a 5.06 FIP
Figgy has been the best with a 2.94 FIP
the worrying thing about Redding is that in the 4 starts since Johan went down he has given up 4 homers

One-two year deal while Davis develops. Nobody’s going to sign him long term because of his injury history; the Mets get a year or two of Johnson, and he gets a chance to show potential teams that he’s not made of glass.

Redding now has a 6.18 FIP

hes in another slump
back and forth all season.
that's a play he usually makes
perhaps the futility of it all has gotten to him?

that he’s been playing with pain since the break

no way
they would have taken him out for the season after the concussion, using it as an excuse.
no, cause that would have been inteligent
keeping him in gives the illusion of less than total futility

but i wish he was smarter than that if thats the case, id rather hear he’s injured than that he’s just struggling.
by KeithsMoustache on Sep 8, 2009 9:56 PM EDT up reply actions
everybody goes through rough streaks
i’d rather hear that he’s just slumping than injured.
what im saying is if he's injured but hiding it
i’d rather he go on the DL and get healthy, instead of just pretending he’s just in a slump and playing through it. sorry im two pitchers in, my eloquence has decreased somewhat in my arguments.

First Base next year
What do you think?
There are a couple of options on the market, none exemplary but I believe with Ike Davis coming up, there’s little reason to spend for multiple years. This also coming on on a year in which teams seem to want to spend less.
What’s your opinion?
fill the spot with murph or an incentive laden deal for delgado i guess
until ike is ready to go

i have not been watching...
but just turned on… and when I saw valdez to be what I assume is pinch hitting… I have to ask… was Nick Evans used already?
hes a sub
for anderson hernandez in the 7th
yes... but considering we
were down by two in the bottom of the 9th… and that valdez may be one of the worst hitters ever in baseball… was evans just looked over in case we came back? so Valdez can stay in the game?
And Anderson Hernandez is arguably
pretty much as good in the field as Valdez
Nothing can get by him; especially in a small room: Mike Francessa
by GenJackRipper on Sep 8, 2009 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions
sigh
I am basically asking if nick evens was used. I am aware that andersen hernandez and Valdez are basically the same guy.
I was wondering if Jerry chose to keep Valdez in the game, on the slim chance the mets tied it… rather then put the better hitter in nick evans as a pinch hitter.
well, see you all thursday
