I disagree, no need to bring this kid up and put all the pressure of the expectations of this season on his shoulders. It's a disappointing season no need to compound that by bringing up a kid during this with all the negativity surrounding the team this year. Play out the next month and a half see where you are and either make a go for it with the players we have and some guys coming back from the DL or sell off pending free agents for minor improvemanets to the farm and hope we retool well in the offseason and catch some health breaks next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the injuries still piling up every single week, it just seems impossible. So I agree with you on this take. Call the kids up but dont do it now.

RutgersJetFan Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'd say this sums it up pretty well, 14 of 25, holy ****: Quote In addition to the eight players on the current DL, the Mets have also played long stretches this season without Yoenis Cespedes, Travis d'Arnaud, Lucas Duda, Wilmer Flores, Steven Matz, and Seth Lugo, all of whom have spent significant time on the DL. In other words, in the span of just 65 games this season, they've put 14 of the 25 players from the Opening Day roster on the DL. And if you count Michael Conforto, who has only pinch hit the last four days due to a stiff back, it could be 15. To date, Jose Reyes, Curtis Granderson, and Jay Bruce are the only players from the Opening Day starting lineup to have not been on the DL this season. Unfortunately, Reyes and Granderson are hitting a combined .191, so their presence hasn't exactly helped the situation. Meanwhile, the Nationals -- who are 40-26 and leading the NL East -- have put only six players on the DL, with Adam Eaton and Jayson Werth the only two men lost from the Opening Day lineup. I think we're hitting a point to where it might be better to announce who didn't get injured every day. It's hard to attribute this to bad luck anymore. The Mets don't have communication between departments. Crasnick reported last month that the medical, coaching, and strength & conditioning departments don't coordinate at all, which is preposterous. In 2017 that is just ******* stupid with everything we know. I love the job that Alderson did in rebuilding the talent for this franchise and Collins the past few years, but IMO this is a product of a pair of old guys having absolutely zero understanding of the advances made over the past ten years in modern science and athletic performance.

RutgersJetFan Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Pretty interesting little case study coming up for the Mets. 19 games left until the break and 16 are on the road. The theory always goes that during hard times a long road trip should be a good thing for the team. Will be interesting to see if that holds up.

Anthony Jet Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 A lot of ground to cover.... nothing really to sell at the deadline for good returns, best bet might be to dump either Bruce or Duda and walker stand pat after that and see where it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Jet Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 1 hour ago, faba said: Ok who would you trade to get something back at this point? opinions Bruce, Duda , reed,granderson, Rene Rivera, Reyes (doubt he has any value),Blevins, basically anyone who's contract is up. If you have intentions on bringing either Blevins or reed go back after them during the offseason. Besides those two the only other guy that, MAYBE, should be on this team come 2018 is Rene Rivera. Also if im sandy I'm trading for chips to use to acquire major league help in the offseason not for long term development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting that the sandwich pick rule for free agents is gone. So it's probably going to be a bit more of a sellers market than usual.

April swoon is what you kept harping on. Anyway, I had no issues with the team except a small concern about the bullpen. I was wrong, apparently, but still feel if the pitching pitched anywhere near expectations we are in the thick of things. No one could've predicted our pitching to be so bad,NO ONE. I don't fault sandy. Sandys warts lie in the draft and the beaten dead horse of Murphy and even turner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The April swoon was proving what my concerns were going into the season. I have generally been supportive of Sandy from day 1, and even when most Mets fans were bashing him for not signing big names, I thought he was doing the right thing. But, he's been here a while, and outside of the trade for Thor, the pitching staff was largely handed to him. He has done a bad job with the pen, particularly when you consider the power starting pitching, and the HR or bust lineup he has built. It was clear going into this season that the pen was going to be a mess this year. I also personally would like to see more balance with the lineup, and not the entire lineup being HR or bust, but more and more teams seem to be going that approach.

Long road trip with no competition from the vets, followed by the break where him and the staff can assess things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
