Mets In Holding Pattern

Its ridiculous how fast you get this information great job ill be posted all day long!

Trading Schoeneweiss doesn't seem like a good move to me. He has been good against lefties, why dump him off?

napes22:

Because you don't need to have 2 lefty specialists in the pen. The Mets are in desperate need of a "long man".

If Schoeneweis is moved I won't be crying. He could be someone else's ''lefty specialist'' for all I care. He has been nothing more than a league-average reliever over the course of his career and he certainly wasn't worth all that money to begin with.

And as for the bigger players that the Mets were targeting, I believe they will go after an outfielder post-July 31 because the price will go down and well, that's how the Mets operate. Look at the Shawn Green deal in 2006.

The Mets have 2 lefty specialists. Righties are hitting over .320 against both. They have their long man in Muniz or Collazo. They need another strong righty or lefty who can get both sides out.

the hubris by mets fans (i am one, by the way) is downright embarassing. you have to give to get and it seems we are so afraid to repeat the kazmir fiasco that we've become a stunted organisation.

consider 2005, the mets could have had manny for lastings milledge. how did that one work out...?

now, the marlins have a shot at him and making themselves better and mets fans want to place the hopes of recapturing the division in the hands of fernando tatis and endy chavez along with a VERY suspect bullpen.

i mean, what if church doesn't come back? worse yet, he does come back and he's not as effective as showed to be early in the year? then what?

this is the only time i will give the yankees credit. if there's a deficiency somewhere, they don't wait around hoping the internal options do the job, they go out and plug the hole and worry about the details later.

at this point, if the mets can get an adam dunn and jonathan neise has to go, you have to consider it. let's keep in mind with the waiver deal, who's to say anyone the mets want a crack at doesn't get blocked by the phillies, marlins or even the braves out of spite?

By the way, the Yanks had prospects to give because they did not give up four prospects in exchange for one of the best pitchers on the planet.

If the Mets did not spin four prospects to the Twins they woudl have no trouble in pulling a deal off.

They just need a year a or two to restock the system.

Niese by the way Ked 6 and did not allow a run in 6 or seven innings in AAA.

Forget some of these mediocre players. Go all in for Street or Manny/Bay. If you have to give up your best prospects, might as well get the best you can.
