I think 2015 looks good

Let’s assume that we build only using the guys under team control, which is fair because even guys like DW are going to cost money, and are therefore somewhat more fungible than others.

SPs: Niese, Harvey, Wheeler, Mejia, Gee

RPs: Familia, Parnell, Schwindin, 4 TBD.

Infield: Thole, Davis, Havens, Tejada, Murphy

Outfield: Duda, 2 TBD

Bench: Kirk, Valdespin/Turner, Baxter, 2 TBD

That’s not bad at all. A lot of cash to fill in, and I don’t have a lot of guys in there who could make the team.

I sure hope Gee and Turner are not still on the team in 2015

In fact I’m hopng this is both of these guys last seasons here.

How did you type Gee's name without vomiting?

The key here is 2014

With Santana and Bay gone, we will have no guaranteed contracts on the books so we can start signing marquee free agents again. From then on, we can be exactly where we want to be, building a yearly contender from within and making smart deals to put us over the top. Minaya’s stench will have gone away at last and this team will be entirely Sandy Alderson’s.

plus when Wright gets traded, we'll have more in the farm

As time passes, I get the feeling that he'll be extended rather than traded

Hope you're right, but I'm skeptical

I think there’s a better chance of him staying if the team gets new owners.

Maybe

But I dont see a big payout, not from Alderson

I can live with this.

I hope Wilpon is gone by this stage.

Using some complex formulas and calculations I believe I have found the reason for the Mets negative run differential.

These guys are playing hardball. Ok, we must all mobilize, everybody... you do realize, this means WAR!

At 5:30 PM EDT today Starting today at 5:00 PM EDT, witness one of the greatest renderings of visual sound effects ever!

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!
