I said this march 2016

In that very statement you said he could play left. He's strictly a DH or 1B. If they woulda traded him over the winter, he woulda had more value.

Mets looking good.

Puig coming thru in the clutch

Astros haven't missed a beat coming out of the break. They're beating the breaks off the Twins

That's baseball in general. All these guys get hurt

It's weird to say because it's still hugely important but building your team around a dominant staff might not work anymore with the frequency these guys get hurt and how important bullpens are now

As a general rule, this is certainly true.

However, when 3 of the 5 in the Mets rotation were all clicking they made the WS with a mediocre defense and offense.

Just gotta strike and WIN when you get the opportunity. Mets blew their World Series.

With a healthy Syndergaard, Matz and deGrom, that's plenty to breeze through the NLDS. And almost guarantees you a minimum of 6 games in the NLCS.

And by the way, for those lamenting that the Mets chose not to keep Murphy...

I don't think anyone could have anticipated that Murphy would up his swing trajectory to hit so many more fly balls and homers. Most of us thought it was just a hot October. But he really has taken his career to another level. It's almost Jeff Kent-like.

What kills me is that De Grom is hurt, Harvey's good. Havery is hurt, Thor is good. They can get completely healthy and they're relying on the 100 year old version of Granderson for offense as well.

Yep which is why the fire Terry or the gm is so stupid . No team can recover from the injuries they've had

They've made the playoffs two years in a row and would have been three if not for injuries

I will say this off-season coming up is important because their losing a lot of players to fa will be intreresting what their lineup looks like next year

I think Harvey should walk unless he cleans his life up.

The Mets are hoping Harvey gets healthy for a good stretch and then they can trade him.
He's not going to re-sign with the Mets. In part because Scott Boras is his agent and also because of the drama with the team.

I think they have to look at a top 50 outfielder prospect since Nimmo looks like he's going to suck, Jay Bruce is a FA after the season, and Granderson will be gone, too. And they don't have any good OF talent in the minors.

A trade probably won't happen until after the season, though.

I don't even worry about the off the field stuff as much as on the field . The bigger problem is he hasn't been the same pitcher since the surgery/ injuries and I don't know if he ever will

 

[god shamgod]

You can add that chapman contract to the list of terrible yankee contracts.Lol @ paying a one trick pony 86 million,he can't locate off speed and his fastball is becoming hittable he will only get worse as the velocity declines.Chapman whip is 1.5
