Pirates traded Ryan Church and Bobby Crosby to the D-Backs
For Chris Snyder.
by James Kannengieser on Jul 31, 2010 10:51 AM EDT reply actions
steep price
that’s what Jeff Francoeur, Cora and cash?
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Francoeur and Cora have a combined -0.4 WAR this season
Church and Crosby are worth -1.4 WAR
I would call the DBacks complete idiots for this deal, but they also got Carrasco, who is decent, so ehh.
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
well Snyder is probably a pure cash deal for them
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
cash dump*
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
but so far we could have upgrade rf
c, and possibly first base if they think it needs upgrading for two sub replacement players and cash…and instead we’re trying to trade Ollie and Castillo for a worse contract/player.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Why couldn't the Mets get Snyder?
He is actually good. Crosby and Church have sucked and Carrasco is pretty good, but a reliever. Would’ve Francoeur, Cora, and Feliciano got it done? According to MLBTR, the Pirates will also get a minor leaguer.
? that's what i'm saying
we could have gotten kearns and snyder for nothing at this point. Instead we want Carlos Zambrano and the 60 million owed.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Zambrano
Jon Heyman tweets that the Mets offered Perez and Castillo for Zambrano, but that the Cubs did not want Castillo. So offer them Perez and Francouer. The Mets could use a crazy person.
by ColoradoMetsFan on Jul 31, 2010 11:17 AM EDT up reply actions
no no no
Zambrano’s contract is worse than Perez and Castillo combined. We just have to live with them for one more year. Zambrano would add another year.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
For the Mets to accept the trade, they would probably get moneys back also
to offset the differences in salary.
Yeah, I'm sure the Cubs will love to save 17M even if if they got
worse talent. The Mets must’ve been asking for a significant amount of money also to kill it.
call me crazy
but I’d rather have Perez and Frenchy….GAG. I want no part of Big Z.

lol
I posted the explanation for this under the fanshot for the Yankees acquiring Berkman… but it’s pretty simple. The Yankees are getting both these guys for EXTREMELY cheap and they’re both productive and better than who the Yankees have on the bench right now.

Kearns' .351 OBP is spectacular for a 4th outfielder that will be on the bench most of the time
Berkman’s got about a .371 OBP I believe and this has been a down year for him… we’ll see how it pans it but it should be ALL positive for the Yankees. Both of these players are just rentals, mind you. 270K for Kearns… can’t beat it!

new understanding of glue and chemistry
the glue that holds the team’s chemistry together
The Mets have chemistry without Francoeur but its not glued together and it should be obvious that chemistry that is not glued together is worthless.

Their OF production is awful.
This will help them alot.
MLBTR says Mets denied a Pirates offer of Octavio Dotel for Robert Carson
I’d have accepted
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
Yeah same thing I thought
I get that Omar doesn’t want to trade prospects, but Carson is more of a fringe player.
Trying to believe is my full-time occupation.
Seriously, why bother
Carson is not that great a prospect, but Dotel is not that great a pitcher. I daresay he’s been pretty awful this year.
Dotel is a retread...
we need to draft & develop better! that’s the issue there!
well it's one of the real issues
but we can’t cover all of the mets real issues in every thread
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Dotel is terrible
could have signed him as a free agent, if you’d wanted him…I’d rather keep Carson for “trade chip” down the road.

I don't see Dotel being much better than Acosta and not nearly as good as Parnell.
He is better than Dessens, but it’s always better to be lucky than good eh?

It's gotten to a point where I'm only looking forward to watch the Mets when R.A. Dickey pitches...
How far have we fallen…Remember when Santana was THE reason to watch? man….
R.A. is fun to watch pitch because you never know where the ball goes and neither does he.
Perhaps Pelfrey should learn to throw a knuckler here and there….
i still get excited about johan and niese
johan was great all july until the other day and niese has been great since his DL stint

i will agree johan hasnt been consistent all year
but any start can be something beautiful again. before the other day he had given up 3 ER in 38 innings in july and hit a homer. he still ended up with his best ERA by month of the year at 2.06, slightly better than aprils 2.08

he still has 13 starts of 1 run or fewer

but he doesn't suck as much as Perez
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
actually he does
and regardless, we’d only have to deal with Perez’s suck for one more year. with Zambrano it would be two. Trading Perez for Zambrano is a loss barring a miracle.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
If we can get some cash for the extra year, it may be worth the gamble
The rest of Ollie’s contract is just sunk. He is useless. I would take my chances for a few million with Zambrano.
At least he has a chance to help the team
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
also, he's entertaining
and he’s probably a better hitter than Cora

So
non-trade news: The Giants apparently have a “Walk of Fame” and according to Twitter Rich Aurilia and Shawn Estes are joining said Walk of Fame.
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
Since his name is tossed around a lot in trade talks
What’s up with Thole? Why is it that scouts are saying one thing (back-up catcher, at best), but so far, his performance has been fairly impressive? Small sample size, I know, but going back to last season, and his time in the Minors, I’m not understanding why there’s such a gap in perception/performance.

I know YOU don't
but I figured I’d post my response in case Omar is lurking.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
lack of power or speed and not great defense
are what i would guess. he still seems acceptable defensively and a good singles/doubles hitter, who if smart on the basepaths, could be one of the more productive hitters as a catcher
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
Never understood that either
He reminds me a lot of Jason Kendall or Paul LoDuca, and they’re considered 2 of the better catchers of the last generation. Perfect #8 hitter IMO.
Scouts are generally saying his defense is turrible.
By defense, they usually blarb something like “game calling” or “receiving and framing” pitches.
They are also making a counterpoint to his hot offensive production in SSS.
He might maintain a higher OBP compared to other catchers, but having doubles power. That’s overlooked, when you usually see low BA/OBP, high HR catchers out there (not necessarily high SLG).
In lobby campaign for Chris Carter.
That's where I'm getting so confused with the differential between what is said, and what is actually happening.
Again, small sample size (last season, Minors, and this season), but defensively, he’s been good (in my eyes). He’s been catching Dickey, so that’s a feat in and of itself, with the knuckleball and all.

Also for some reason every team asks for him in a trade.
I guess scouts like him and prospect geeks don’t.
i'm not sure that means they value him that much
it could mean they don’t think he’s that great of a prospect since they’re asking for him in trades for mediocre players.

maybe Eric had a point with the idea of "Off-Topic Convos" Fanshots.
Obviously, sometimes we like to talk about stuff other than baseball. Since we’re all relatively familiar with each other here, we like to discuss these topics with each other. No problem, but maybe like, weekly threads to focus some of the chaos?
John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.
The problem is that there's nothing worth talking about since the Mets DID NOTHING!
If they would’ve done SOMETHING, we would’ve been talking about it.
yeah, the topic drift is the problem
Plus the fact that this is, you know, a baseball blog. I appreciate that people like to socialize, but maybe there are better places to talk about video games and boobies and so on? Every time one of these 1000-comment bizarre nonsense excursions happens, we’re discouraging baseball-focused readers from reading the site or taking what we have to say seriously.
I understand your concern but...
I think this is a special case because what is there to talk about? Seriously?
The Mets made ZERO MOVES.
ZERO! So what else is there to discuss? Nothing but whatver comes to mind. Everyone here is very upset and is entitled to “cut loose” to make things a bit more entertaining and bring some levity to this blog.
Besides, you want a baseball blog? Once we have the Game Thread, there’s your baseball blog.
"So what else is there to discuss?" The rest of the baseball world.
There’s tons of interesting baseball discussion happening in this thread and the other trade-deadline ones. The rest of the nonsense here dilutes that, makes it harder and less fun to participate/read/follow, and frankly also is just boring as hell.
eh I don't see how it's boring
like I said above, I didn’t read any of it and just scrolled right past without it bothering me at all. I don’t see what the problem is.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson

I was wondering why the comments section all of sudden became sub 100 posts. Why did he ban everyone?
probably because it got SUPER out of control
it was basically a bunch of morons yammering on about nonsense in a fairly offensive manner.

yeah those people are probably very young
they act like dumbasses. ‘you disagree with me? well you are a dumbass! i don’t need anything to back me up, i watch the highlights!’
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
trust me, it has nothing to do with youth.
well, i mean, it does, but more often than not a “stat hating” fan would be someone who professes to having “been a fan since ’61” and “watches all the games”.
John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.
i mean im pretty young, if you wanna call fresh outta undergrad young
i just feel like, anyone who is an asshole on the internet on some blog like that or this one has no respect for other people because they feel like they are on the internet and can talk shit to someone because the person they talking shit to isnt there to kick their ass. i mean, this is like when my friends would play game with that xbox headset on and i would hear pre-pubescent dumbasses cursing my friends and their moms and their sisters out because they just killed them in some dumb game. i dont know, maybe im wrong, it just seems like the same mentality over at metsblog. and considering matt cerrone is apparently a 12 year old (thank you fatcessa), i wouldnt be surprised
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
eh
like 90% of all blogs are like this, whether they’re sports affiliated or not.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
and that's why I don't hang out at 90% of all blogs
Smart, well-moderated web communities — say, Metafilter, or the DailyKos empire where SBNation has its roots — have mod policies and community self-moderation that enforce staying on-topic to some degree.
Do they discuss baseball over there?
If they do, then you can go there where you won’t have to see our “boring” posts and conversations.
Okay, I get it
I see that your position is that you have the sacred god-given right to post whatever off-topic crap you please because you say so. Now could the rest of us have a conversation about whether that is something this community should continue to allow?
Did I say that? I'm just stating what you can do to alleviate your "boredom"
That’s all.
If all you can do is complain, then I don’t know what to say.
most people are fine with it
a few people go off topic for a little bit in a couple of threads and its fine, just ignore it if you need. if they set up an ’’off-topic" designated thread, people would still go off topic on some thread. usually game threads have a few off topic sections and it keeps people sane. no one is forcing you to come here and read this, just press z until you see baseball being discussed, thats what i do
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
I just think an "off-topic" designated thread would be fun.
sure, it wouldn’t catch everything, but it would be entertaining in its own right and could potentially free up some of the conversation from other posts. win-win, right? I honestly agree with anonymous in the fact that baseball related posts sometimes get too clogged with random shit. I, however, don’t agree with him in this specific example, since it IS an open thread. But that’s just semantics, really.
John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.
If it's an open thread, anything goes
If it’s a fanpost, fanshot, or some other specific thing, a little off-topic is fine, but too much, and you lose focus of the point of the thread. Open threads, I see them like a bunch of people hanging out and chatting- sometimes, tangents get walked down. As was mentioned, the off-topic stuff that I don’t care about, I ignore, and that’s that.

oh and I suppose if we actually are intending on contending we could have gotten berkman

I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
I was arguing against Berkman
before i knew that the ’tros would pay most of his salary and still take a C prospect.
Thole/Blanco is fine for C
but I’m just flabbergasted that they’re not going to improve the SP, something that’s needed to be improved since last offseason.
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
fine maybe
but Snyder would be a pretty significant upgrade. I mean Castillo is fine for 2nd but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be trying to upgrade. if an upgrade is available for virtually nothing why not upgrade?
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
You're not seriously comparing Castillo to Thole, are you?
Castillo is an abomination. Thole is a decent catcher that deserves a chance to play everyday.
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
Thole can play everyday in AAA
at this point it’s not that likely that he’ll be putting up a .330-.340 wOBA which is what Snyder would provide.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Blanco is posting a .305 wOBA at this point
Snyder .338. That’s a massive upgrade at no cost.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Lilly is traded already
I don’t know what else I’d do. Add a 2nd baseman? Kelly Johnson? Paul Maholm maybe, the Pirates love to trade.
by James Kannengieser on Jul 31, 2010 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes, I would improve on the positions currently occupied
by Luis Castillo and Jeff Francoeur. If such a player is available, perhaps the Mets could improve at 1B and SP.
The problem is the Mets think they have 2B and RF “covered” with the players they currently have. Because Minaya has no clue about relative value of players and how to make marginal improvements.
by JohnPeterson on Jul 31, 2010 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions
Alternatively,
I would be dumping Luis Castillo on whomever would take him. I’m not sure the Mets shouldn’t be sellers, not buyers.

I think its really over for us
this year and the only moves I want them to make is trade players I don’t want them to keep in the long term and try and get some prospects and shed some salary.
I’d also like them to just cut Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo. Right now.

I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Carlos Zambrano isn't bad.
He may be an albatross, but he’s a damn good one
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
um no he's not really

125 career ERA+
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/z/zambrca01.shtml
Also, basically adds another emergency pinch hitter 4 out of 5 days
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
yeah i know what his career numbers are
there’s this thing called a decline, Perez was good at one point too. Right now they’re both bad, and one is twice as expensive.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Zambrano was good in 2009
There’s also this thing called a down year
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
um he wasn't good
he was decent, and no where near worth the money he was being paid. He’s been steadily declining for 3 years while his contract has increased. He’d be a 2 WAR player making about the same money guys like Oswalt and Halladay make.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
119 ERA+ is pretty solid
definitely not Perez-esque
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
ERA+ is barely an improvement over ERA
and Perez put up an ERA+ of 120 a few years ago too.
And more import.ant even if he’s not as bad as perez he’s owed twice as much money. Which more than makes up for the difference in badness. We’re much better off just living with perez at 13 million for one more year than having to live with Zambrano for 34 million for two more years. it just makes no sense to add a year of crap at a higher dollar cost. When we can spend the money on someone who is actually useful and not insane.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Plus Zambrano is likely to flip his lid and
kill Jose Reyes and David Wright in a dugout tirade.
this is the most important part
he’s crazy

That's why we have Henry Blanco

I forgot Pelf will be going into arb next year.

That’s off the top of my head like Pelfrey, some middle-level spect, and Carson, plus a PTBNL.
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
As was discussed in a few threads earlier:
Joe Saunders = Mike Pelfrey (who is better, but…)
Pat Corbin = Robert Carson
Rafael Rodriguez = Eddie Kunz
Theoretical PTBN
Corbin is a 20 year old leftie in A ball who seems mediocre. Carson is a year older, also in A ball, who has similar stats.
Rafael Rodriguez, he’s had a little time in the Majors (and it wasn’t that impressive), and his Minor League numbers are mediocre, if not a little up and down. Eddie Kunz is…Eddie Kunz.

I think if the PTBNL is anything more than a middle of the line guy
I wouldn’t take that from the Mets end.
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
But reports are it IS a middle of the line guy
So that’d be someone like Duda or Tejada or Capn Kirk.
John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.
kirk is better than those first two
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
i mean, PRETTY good.
But the difference between Pelfrey and Saunders eclipses that difference.
John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.
He's an 18-year old pitcher
All of the cautionary tales about Mejia apply here, even moreso.

he's an 18 year old
with 77 innings in his career.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
um why?
Haren is a massive upgrade, and most middle guys are guys who project to be bench players or AAAA fodder.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
I'm not keen on giving up prospects for an upgrade to give us 84 wins this year instead of 79 or 80
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
Haren
would be here for at least 3 seasons, & Pelfrey isn’t that good to begin with.

MUCH better
Haren is an ace, at this point pelfrey is a back end starter.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Right, but Pelfrey is also entering into his prime, whereas Haren is exiting it

yeah but pelfreys prime
will probably be worse than haren’s next 3 years.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
pelfrey is so unpredictable right now
he could be the great pitcher we had at the beginning of the year for the next 3 years or the mediocre guy we are used to, more likely mediocre though
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
I think it's more likely he'll end up being a
4.30-4.50 FIP guy who pitches around 200 innings. So probably around an average player.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Maybe
If Pelfrey pitches more like his first half self, that’s good for around a 4 WAR or so. If he pitched better, maybe more. I like Pelfrey, but I don’t really forsee that happening. That’d be nice, though.

um these are mediocre replacement level type prospects
for a guy who’s under contract for 3 more years, and would make us not have to chase mediocre starters in the market for the same price.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Carson and Kunz are really helping the team, right?
Haren > Pelfrey, and I’d be willing to give up a mid-level prospect to get it done. In effect, it’d be Pelfrey and mid-level prospect for Haren, with some change in the no-name people who never are really going to amount to much.

I think more than absolutely anything
i’m pissed about austin kearns. A fucking 70 some point increase in wOBA from our right fielder for 250 k, and we apparently never even looked into him.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
let it go, its austin freaking kearns
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
With a .340 wOBA
he’d be a huge huge upgrade for no cost
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
and promptly go back to hitting like he did with the nationals
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
um he's a career .340 wOBA player
over 3800 PAs. He had like 1.5 bad years struggling with injures and a career low BABIP over like 500 PA"s,. He was an above average hitter for most of his career.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
you know what i am most pissed about?
our FO wasted time trying to trade ollie and luis instead of pedro feliciano or apparently seriously looking into haren or oswalt or kelly johnson
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
also instead of just releasing those asses
really i am just pissed we ever signed them to begin with, never though they would backfire
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
lol that's the worst part
before the contracts were ever signed almost every mets fans knew it would be a disaster.

dont be that nice to the intelligence of all mets fans
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
yeah, this is what sticks out to me too
At least judging by the rumor mill, the only thing Omar spent real time on at the deadline was trying to dump the big albatross contracts, rather than trying to do a smart “sell high” move or two.
omar + business = sure to fail
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
It's like
Omar can’t do two things at once. It seems as if he focuses on one move & doesn’t look in other areas to improve the team.
"I want to win now, not 3 years from now. That's my stance." - Kevin Burkhardt
We joked around about that during the off-season
but I think there’s enough of a sample size to basically confirm it as a truism, that Omar can’t deal with more than one possible deal at a time.

Couple waiver moves the Mets could make if they get hot an go on a winning streak
Manny might be available Its unlikely the Dodgers will let him go to a possible wild card team
Millwood will be available he is terrible but he will be available
Rich Harden Good pitcher when healthy
Their will be many relievers available
A bat or two wouldnt hurt

Deals where specific players were named, anyway.
I don’t think any reports said Arizona was interested in dealing us Haren for Pelfrey, et al. If so, I would have voted for that one.

I’m sorry — if this was, as I very much doubt, actually a serious invitation to baseball-related discussion rather than gratuitous ad-hominem bullshit, then where’s the actual topic of discussion?
Right above, I made a "Niese for Cliff Lee" thread.
Then right below here is Chan Ho Park stuff….
there’s your baseball talk.
Brock busting your balls aside
This thread is still at least 75% baseball related. It’s a pretty great ratio all things considered and is usually closer to 90% in game threads, minor league reports, etc.
outside of gamethreads and epically bad threads
its almost always 100% on topics

trades???
Don’t actually know what to believe? According to papers and blogs, these other teams were requesting a lot more from the mets than they took from other teams. That tells me it is one of two things: either the mets are lying about the requests to save face fror doing nothing, or omar is just no good at negotiating the price downward. I vote both. Jerry is a charlatan and Omar is a buffoon. That is my mantra.
Vote With Your Wallets
jdon speaks the truth. What a joke. A team with this many holes can’t afford to sit back and do nothing. It’s subtraction by inertia. Are you ready for last place? Vote with your wallets. Don’t support this team with your hard-earned dollars. Force the Wilpons to sell.

That Wilpon. What a scam artist.
Remember that happy bullshit about how much cheaper midseason pickups were, and that was part of the reason nothing was done about the rotation in the offseason? All of that so as not to have to shell out a few bucks before the season started, say, on a pitcher who might have halved the team’s current deficit in the standing?
It’s the same crap here. This team wasn’t going anywhere near Zambrano’s (or anyone else’s) salary.
Get ready for an ugly offseason, folks. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see the Mets’ payroll stay below 130m next year, which means the 2011 season is going to look a hell of a lot like the 2010 season. Bastards.
lol and now they're hxc selling the idea that no deals could be made without giving up
a truckload of young talent. Despite the numerous deals made that gave up virtually no talent.
the worst part is fans are apparently buying it.
