Anthony Jet Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Worse GM McCagnen or Van Waganon I never thought anyone would be close to Mac but god dam Brodie is giving him a run for his money. Brodie is actually destroying a team while as Mac started with sh*t and ended with even worse sh*t that didn’t seem possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cano Diaz trade is a Scarlet letter for sure, but his drafts have been pretty damn good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been a real distraction. -The Cano trade stings. Stings a lot. I know he wanted to make an initial splash, but man that one seems like it is going to hurt. Especially when we know Cano needs to be delegated to the bench in place of Gimenez, at least short term. We have to give him credit in not waiting to promote rookies. He did not cheap out on Alonso, and someone pushed for Gimenez. Not sure if that was Rojas or not. Be he allowed it. -He seems to listen to his scouts when drafting. And, while we have not seen the results yet, the way he has maneuvered around getting top talent in the draft has been impressive. -While he deservedly gets crushed for the Cano trade, he deserves credit for the JD Davis trade. -He did get deGrom signed. And right now, that is a steal of a deal. How many times have we seen that type of talent walk? I had no problem in letting Wheeler walk, Personally, I did not think that he was worth the money. Maybe I will be proven wrong, but he seemed to come up small in many big spots. -It will be interesting to see how he spends, when supposedly the purse strings are loosened with a new owner. Also, the starting pitching staff will need to be revamped. Interesting decision on Syndergaard next season, when he will be coming back from injury. I still grade Van Waganon as "incomplete", but there is NO WAY he is on a Macc level. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rutgers pointed out above, Gimenez has been a revelation. He acts like he belongs. As bad as Guillorme is offensively, he plays pretty slick defense. I believe my baseball IQ has actually decreased, having to watch with DH rules. Talking about IQ level, I have not listened to WFAN since March, and mind has gone up a lot?Did you you hear Keith and Gelbs talking about Alonzo’s hand placement this year vs last year on the game the other night? Was tremendous stuff. Absolutely love when Keith and Ronnie get into the mechanics of the game. I guess it’s always been our virtual baseball class over the years. ⚾️?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still grade Van Waganon as "incomplete", but there is NO WAY he is on a Macc level. You left out Jed Lowrie. And between the salaries of Cano and Lowrie, we could've kept Wheeler (who I did want to keep fwiw). BVW knew he was going to be restricted as far as payroll yet he absorbed Cano's albatross of a contract. Horrible! The Jake contract was great though and trading for JD Davis looks like a steal. I really like what he's done in the draft as well though there's no reason our next owner can't just keep Tommy Tanous and his staff in place while firing Brodie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still grade Van Waganon as "incomplete", but there is NO WAY he is on a Macc level. I’m not a prospect guy but what I’ve read, besides the obvious Cano trade, is that he gave up some real talent for Stroman and that some of his other trades have decent level guys In it. the cano trade is beating a dead horse but the domino effect fro that trade is mind boggling If and it’s a big if Cano’s salary affected his spending ability in wheeler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the team that rubs it in the Mets’ face the most because they almost try to lose yet they’ve been a thorn in our side for a long time now. And they the same number of World Series titles (2) as us yet they’ve barely ever spent (though, of course, the one time they did, they won it all).

Hopefully the Phillies struggle signing Realmuto, and the Mets can swoop in. He is a former Van Wagenen client. Pssst-Cano is hitting, and the bat looks quick.

Sign Realmuto on a 5 year deal, and if the kid is the real thing, he has someone to lean on as a rookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
