Wait a minute

I just did the math. For us, that comes down to:

Castillo/Ollie/Frenchy/Maine for Gil Meche.

….

Done.

This could totally happen.

You could totally see Dayton Moore trading Meche, Farnsworth, and Guillen for Zambrano, Francoeur, and Maine. Even if it meant taking on $15MM in unmitigated salary obligations.

Alex Cora, Ollie P. John Maine, and Dentcour

for Lee……..oh wait, better yet, to the Yankees for Phil Hughes and Robinson Cano.

Mejia, F-Mart, and Pagan for Lee, but only if he signs a contract extension that keeps him here for at least five — no six — more years.

This is the classic WFAN / NY Post commenter trade. Put together a lot of spare parts/replacement players that you don’t really want anyway, and trade them for another team’s superstar. Becuase why wouldn’t the other team do it?

Henderson

actually started off well for the Mets. 2.9 WAR in 99 games, .375 wOBA, 138 wRC+. Then 2.4 in in a full season in ’78. Zachry had a 3.64 fip in ’78. Seaver 3.17 in ’78. Then 3.33 in ’79 and after that never a fip below 3.50 again. Doug Flynn was a disaster of a hitter, and Norman never did much, although he had some power in the minors.

The Amos Otis trade was worse almost. He put up something like 45 WAR after the trade for Joe Foy, including a few high 4s, 5, and one of about 7.5. Of course, Ryan for Fregosi is another bad one for the ages. Leroy Stanton also went in the Ryan trade. And he put up a .351 wOBA in ’75 and .371 in ’77. Fregosi never touched that except for in one season of about 100 PA.

Growing up

We had this little Scholastic “Baseball Stars of 1978” book that was written after the 1977 season, and it throws in Steve Henderson as one of the National League’s “stars.” I’ll always remember this passage:

The Mets fans couldn’t believe that they traded their best pitcher for a couple of guys named “Joe.” But wait, one of those Joes could really play!

Optimistic? Yup. Still funny to me? Yup.

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
