Why get Davis when Jack Cust can put up similar numbers.
rct 2
It’s funny, Cust put up better number than Ike and more consistently, but he didn’t even start until he was 28. Ike’s only 26.

Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, MAG, Kendrick, Pett/Martin. Pretty Simple RAJ. SPs weren’t the issue the last few years. No RHBs and old position players were. Could have let Utley walk and signed Omar Infante to fill a RH option at the top of the line-up batting 2nd behind Revere and then went after someone else w/the savings from the Utley contract (7 MM?)

i kind of agree Zak if your saying whats the point in adding a starter i agree. I mean im all for them grabing Garza or Arroyo but then they have no money to spend. The Phillies should grab a reliever already and they should trade for a power bat. idk its frustrating if Amaro is gonna resign Ruiz and sign Byrd you would think he would be agressive in trying to make this team a contender one last time. Instead it seems like hes making everyone available and looking for nothing. his concept stinks
Zak A
Yea, like whats the point in going for any of the better SPs left if the best they’ll do is lose 1-0?

Nah bro. Utley’s still a useful player on a decent contract. A trade would have been one thing but letting him walk would have been a bad idea.
Zak A
Two position players were FAs this offseason or would have been. Utley and Ruiz. They could have signed a RH 2B like Infante and then not been restricted to pretty much just RH RFs this offseason.

The Mets are reasonable with their demands? They wanted Neil Walker for him! Hoping NH just laughed at them!

That was Toronto for Adam Lind, not Ike. Mets want pitching.
LetsGoBucs92122
Ah my mistake then! Thanks for the fix there
paqza
Only takes one other GM to agree, brah. Ask Anthopolous or Sabean.
burnboll
I wonder if Adam Rubin is related to Neil Diamond.
bucsws2014
So by not mentioning the Pirates are still in on Loney should we assume they’re no longer in?
Dawn Krol
Think they signed Morneau
rct 2
Rockies signed Morneau.
Dawn Krol
My bad……Colorado signed Morneau
MediaMatt
What is the Mets sign Loney? Then they can offer Ike Davis and/or Lucas Duda in trade packages for SS, pitching or additional outfield help.
paqza
Why would the Mets sign Loney, a guy who will cost more and is projected to hit less than either Duda or Davis? Between either one of Duda or Davis combined with a Murphy trade, they can make something happen.
