AAOP: ....Deal with the real problem first

by exbrooklynite on Oct 30, 2011 10:50 PM EDT

My proposal is that some die hard fans with the right connections sabotage the Will-pawn's court case causing them to lose so decisively to the Madoff victims' legal team that MLB sells the team. The team is then purchased by a die hard Mets fan with tons of moolah. The new owner would give Sandy & Co a payroll of at least $175 million to work with.

The whole issue is money. With a $175 million limit, Sandy can take the risks below. Of course it involves over-paying, but do we want ringzzzzz or not?

C: Thole

1B: Davis

2B: Murphy

SS: Reyes

3B: Wright

LF Bay

CF: Pagan

RF: Beltran

SP: CJ Wilson, CC Sabathia, Santana, Dickey, Niese

RP: K-Rod, Nathan, Beato, Parnell, Acosta, Byrdak, Capuano (LR/spot start)

BENCH: Ramon Hernandez, "Who" Evans, Tejada, Grady Sizemore, Turner

Gee and Duda would return to AAA, Pelfrey non-tendered, and Sandy's team will decide who else gets cut or demoted from among last year's roster.

I wouldn't do that with $175 million dollars

Whoever gives Wilson a long term deal will regret it in a few years, and I’m not keen on giving out any gigantic contracts to pitchers on the wrong side of 30.

If anyone can do it I'd be Wilson

since he doesn’t have a normal amount of innings on that arm having been a reliever for most of his career.

Save Jenrry Mejia!
Keep Reyes, Trade Wilpon.

Word up

This IS the real problem. I’m optimistic they finally decided to give one guy control and stay the hell out, kinda like my Redskins did. Not so optimistic they’ll be able to support a payroll like that any time soon, but one can hope.

I heavily considered K-rod, but I won’t give a single reliever more than 10 million. Of course, that doesn’t matter when you have 60 million more to spend.
