Mets Notes: DePodesta, Rotation, Collins

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | September 21, 2011 at 5:19pm CDT

The Mets will try to slow the Cardinals' bid for a playoff berth when the two teams take the field in St. Louis tonight. In the meantime, here are some Mets-related links… 

  • Mets executive Paul DePodesta told Bill Plaschke of the LA Times that he doesn't particularly want to become a general manager again. "From my perspective, it's not necessarily a great job," he said. DePodesta was the Dodgers’ GM in 2004 and 2005.
  • GM Sandy Alderson said on last night's TV broadcast that he expects to have a similar rotation next season, according to Michael Baron of MetsBlog. Alderson is hoping for growth from Mike Pelfrey and Jonathon Niese and Baron is hoping that the rotation will go deeper into games.
  • Alderson says that if the Mets make changes to spacious Citi Field for next year they won't be subtle, according to Andrew Keh of the New York Times. The Mets are interested in making the three-year-old park more fair and Alderson knows that "offense sells."
  • It doesn’t appear that the Mets are going to sign manager Terry Collins to an extension in the near future, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com. The skipper is under contract in 2012 and the Mets have a team option for 2013.

    By bringing the walls in that means the OTHER team can now also hit more homeruns.

          Sorry, I confused it with obnoxious.

          this just in, by bringing in the walls it will mean that the walls will be brought in.

    I hope he means a different Mike Pelfrey.

    DePodesta wasn’t necessarily a great GM, so we’re even.

      Didn’t he acquire Andre Ethier from Oakland?

        No. DePodesta acquired Bradley. Colletti traded him for Ethier, end of 2005.

    I seriously hope Alderson does something to improve the bullpen. The team keeps blowing games in late innings and this is a consistent and persistent issue for the past few years. This is not acceptable.

    Why would a legitimate site like MLBTR link to a PLASCHKE article? Seriously..
