I hate the Marlins even more now that they are the Miami Marlins!!!!!

Sign ‘em all and let Terry sort ‘em out!
October 31st, 2011 at 10:01 am
I don’t think it really matter to us as we are not going to be a major player, or for that matter any player in the FA market!
I would imagine we are going to be looking for the same type of players as we did last year.
Maybe we can sneak out a pitcher or two after all the dust settles. I would think that is the best we can hope for.
Not looking like an exciting winter for the Mets, except when we don’t sign Reyes.
October 31st, 2011 at 10:09 am
What’s the point,it’s not like we’re gonna see any major improvement made this off season. Our best hope is too maybe re-sign Reyes, which looks like a long shot right now. Sandy is not going to sign any big name FA’s.
Most of the season is gonna be filled with “what is Wrights future”. We are gonna be stuck in the same situation again. Wright makes too much money for what he produces on the field. But can we watch our other top “home grown, fan fav, face of the Franchise” walk away because we don’t want to sign anyone to a big deal?
The team has little money and little flexibility. Fans aren’t coming out to watch…income, then payroll will continue to decrease…
sure, we’ll sit and hope that Wright and Bay respond to the OF changes and hit again. Hope that Ike comes back healthy and productive. Hope that Santana can be an ace. Hope that Neise and Gee improve. Hope that Pelf flips the switch. Hope that Pagan is gone or gets a brain. Hope that Tejada and Duda are legit everyday players. Hope that Murph has a position. Hope that all the young players we are banking on aren’t busts. and finally, hope that what ever happens to Wilpons doesn’t completely cripple the team for years to come.
Yes, I’m being very cynical right now…but I haven’t felt like this for years…anyone remember Strawberry and Cone? That’s how I feel now with Reyes. All I can do is sit back and watch another one of my favorite all time players/Met walk away and we’ll be stuck as a 70 win team for 3-4 more years.

bubye Tony L.
Ew. I don’t feel really good or clean about any of these guys, except maybe CJ and for sentimental reasons, Dontrelle. Yuk… After all the hard play this year I don’t really want to see Any retreads on the field! Especially some retread that’s already crested. Sorry Endy, that includes you….
October 31st, 2011 at 11:26 am
p.s. Cheer up USMF, most of these guys are getting re-signed anyway, right?
October 31st, 2011 at 11:38 am
Right now the Mets just need to focus on re-signing Reyes. Unfortunately, any signings that would help the team can’t be done until Jose decides to stay or go. If he stays, we’re definately not gettinag any big or mid level FAs. If he goes, I could see Alderson signing a couple of mid-level FAs. Its too bad BMF didn’t post what their projected salaries would be, there are a few guys who would fit in good with the Mets should they fall in the right price range of course.
BTW, was anyone else shocked that LaRussa decided to retire? That came out of nowhere! Maybe Alswerson will coax him out of retirement to come to the Mets LOL
October 31st, 2011 at 11:50 am
Maybe LaRussa realized that Pujols wasn’t coming back and he’s the only reason they ever won.
October 31st, 2011 at 11:56 am
LaRussa retired! I predict this may bring BJake back from his sabbatical for a brief cameo.
October 31st, 2011 at 12:59 pm
Craig, Furcal, Pinto, Freese, Schumaker…if the Cards can win the WS with names like these then there is hope for us.
Good riddens to LaRussa. I think USMF hit the nail on the head…

at least the walls will be blue
October 31st, 2011 at 9:13 pm
Reds picked up $12MM option on Brandon Phillips so there goes that idea.
BMF - I think you left of JJ Hardy (who I think would be a nice addition, especially with the new dimensions)
