RutgersJetFan Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Rizzo has to consider firing Williams as soon as this game is over, right? With their season on the line, he puts a kid on the mound who had a mental breakdown less than 24 hours earlier, and he puts him up against the hottest power hitter in the entire league. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 From Heyman: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/25297955/inside-baseball-whats-the-deal-on-harvey-cespedes-mets-future Meanwhile, the Mets, notably less-than-lavish spenders since the losses of hundreds of millions in the Madoff mess, may now feel the need to commit their biggest bucks to sudden outfield hero Yoenis Cespedes, their second-half MVP (but not the NL MVP, more on that below) and current king of the city. While Cespedes' agent Brodie Van Wagenen first proposed the idea to drop the unwanted, unnecessary clause that likely would have delayed the Mets' involvement in his free agency until May 15 and for all intents and purposes taken the Mets out of the free-agent picture, word is they immediately liked the idea, and quickly agreed. While the growing public pressure to keep Cespedes is great, on their own the Mets certainly aren't running away from it. While Mets people won't discuss it publicly, word is they are expected to make a serious play for Cespedes, whose willingness to play center field has been a huge plus, not to mention all the well-timed bombs he's hitting. The reasons they're not talking about their intentions are two-fold; they don't want to set fans up for a potential disappointment, and they don't want to detract from what's transpiring on the field, which is nothing short of special. With David Wright quite possibly more in the category of a solid contributor and worthy captain than a cornerstone star going forward, and the Mets' rotation already in better hands than just about anyone's no matter what happens with Harvey, Cespedes does indeed make sense for a big play now. Their lineup is among the deepest in baseball, but apparently what was needed the anchor bat he provides; they were the lowest-scoring team before he arrived, the highest scoring team since he became the king of Queens (though the other smart additions and returnees from injury helped, too). Cespedes won't be an easy sign, as people who know him say "he's a businessman" at heart, and not likely to take an offer that isn't the best one he gets. His previous Tigers team also loves him (but Tigers people privately admit they may be priced out at this point), while the Giants, Rangers, Mariners, Phillies, Angels and Cubs are among other teams that look like the best potential fits. Many others also wouldn't mind an outfield bat with impact power, not to mention an all-world arm, plus speed and unusual flair (a bonus), and he's probably raised his take by as much as 50 percent with his amazing stretch-run play, to the point where he looks like he's moved to the top of a star-studded free-agent outfield list that also includes Justin Upton, Jason Heyward and presumably Alex Gordon once he opts out. Even in this environment, Cespedes could fetch $175-million-plus. Of course, every free agent likes to involve the Yankees, but with Carlos Beltran hitting well in the second half and more urgent mound needs, that may take some creativity on the part of the Bronx Bombers, who've obviously also noticed Cespedes' Gotham impact. Still, don't put it past the Mets to be the one to write the big check in this one case. This feels a lot like the Mike Piazza situation, where the Mets first acquired then signed the superstar catcher following a public outcry for that specific star. Two years ago the Mets' efforts to lure Robinson Cano across town were much more serious than ever portrayed, and if the Mariners hadn't blown folks away with their $240-million, 10-year bid, the Mets may have had a shot to outbid the Yankees, who were at $175 million. So they do have the dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Conforto again getting the start. That's great. I think that makes it 10 out of the last 11 games with a start for him. I feel bad for Lagares, he looked like he was starting to come around in late August. But Conforto's bat has been so good. Have to keep him in there.

RutgersJetFan Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I know Matz didn't have his best stuff tonight but I just love starts like that. He got himself out of trouble multiple times even though he was leaving pitches hanging over the plate all night. Against a better team he probably gives up 3 or 4 runs tonight, but who knows. That long delivery of his is a real thing of beauty. Also that Braves infield put on a show tonight. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
