is gose worth adding a prospect to this deal? someone like flores even?

Gose is already a solid fielder in CF w/ above average speed in his 180+ MLB AB's. If he can cut down the k's and play to his potential, he's a .330 OBP/40+ SB's CF. Basically he'd be our leadoff hitter, but I wouldn't want to add a legit prospect for him. I rather go after Arencibia; Gose, and Syndergaard(potential #2 starter who's ETA is 2014) for dikkey. Hell, I'd do Arencibia and Gose for dikkey. Sure Arencbia's OBP is sub-300, but he 's a solid fielder and he'll give you 20+ HR's w/ a .430+ SLG and is 27 w/ 3+ years of team control.

Sounds like sandy is about to flip Beltran and dikkey into three top 50 prospects. This is the sandy I was waiting for, and makes the Reyes fiasco look more and more like wilpon fukkery instead of sandy falling asleep at the wheel.

dikkey and the Blue Jays have until Tuesday (2pm) to complete an extension.

Toronto with both Reyes and dikkey. Think I have a new second favorite team to root for.

D'Arnaud our catcher for Opening Day '13, w/ Syndergaard being in the rotation next year :ehh:

I'd rather have D'Arnaud and Gose, but pitching wins championships. Mejia in the rotation for next year, w/ Wheeler in Queens by July. Not bad. Assuming Gee bounces back from his injury and Wheeler; Harvey, or Mejia pans out, we got a solid 3 pitchers. Then we have Synder; Fulmer, Tapia, and Montero competing for rotation slots in 2014(Synder) and 2015(Fulmer; Tapia, Montero) respectively.

2016 Mets
Niese; Gee, Harvey/Wheeler/Mejia, Synder/Fulmer/Tapia/Montero, #5 starter
Obviously all those guys listed won't pan out, so if 2 of those 7 prospects I listed(Fulmer; Mejia, Harvey, Wheeler, Montero, Tapia,, Synder) become decent MLB starters by 2016, we'll have a solid rotation. Go after a Price or Felix in 2015 or 2016 and a Heyward or Justin Upton in 2016, and we'd have a perennial 90 win team.

Now if we spend money in 2014 and get two legit outfielders, we have a legit shot at competing in 2015, we can win 85+ games in 2014 if 3 of the following of Gee/Harvey/Wheeler/Mejia play well in 2014. Looking back, I would of probably traded Wright, but hey the sky isn't falling :manny:

Aside from the BJ`s trying to extend dikkey, there was another piece of Mets news announced. Big Pelf is now a Twin. They signed him for 4 milli plus another 1.5 in incentives.

#Mets sign LHP Aaron Laffey to a minor league contract and invited him to major league Spring Training.

If Wheeler or Harvey plays well this year, along w/ someone out of Valdespin/Duda/Kirk becoming a legit outfielder, I can give a damn about this team's record in 2013. This and likely 2014 will be "bushes" seasons, we have to wait a while til hopefully one of our young pitchers(Harvey; Wheeler, Syndergaard) becomes good along w/ Gee bouncing back from his injury. Sure we have a 30-40 mil payroll in 2014, but right now we only have 1 proven pitcher and no outfielders. Unless the Mets have a top 10 rotation in 2014, there's no way we'll be good in 2014 unless the Mets get two legit outfielders via FA in 2014 and 2-3 insurance #5 starters in FA.
