Barton Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Congrats to the Mets, really. They are doing everything the Yankees used to. Ya know, like trying to field the best possible team and hire an an actual baseball man (Buck). Meanwhile, Yankees bring back the lamest manager I have ever seen. A guy with zero leadership skills. Go Mets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an unusual feeling. Glad to see the Mets finally spend a little bit though I don't really want us to turn into what the Yankees were (spending-wise). I'm fine with it for a couple of seasons just to build up the reputation that the Mets mean business when it comes to winning games. But ultimately, I'd like to see the organization play things intelligently and build through youth. I get the feeling that's their plan because (I think) we're accumulating #1 picks for the guys we're losing as FA's and we haven't had to give any up for the FA's we've signed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I’m not excited about this but willing to give him a chance. One good thing he has over Rojas is that nobody is going to tell him what to do on the field. When Brodie around rumors he was micromanaging his manager not a good idea.

section314 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 For the first time since Bobby V was wearing disguises in the dugout, the Mets will have the managerial advantage in pretty much every series they play. Compare that to the last 3-4 years with dopes like Callaway and Rojas in the dugout. This is great news. Buck will be the difference in 5-6 more wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees are usually way ahead of the curve on most things, and I seriously doubt that they don't have a pretty well thought out strategy. There are like 300 guys who don't have jobs, and the Yankees may end up getting a few remaining FA's at some pretty favorable prices. Plus, they have a much more developed farm system than most teams, with quite a few guys who are close to MLB ready.As a lifelong Mets fan, I 've learned to never count the Yankees out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are right but I dont see it. Also, the Yankees are TERRIBLE at developing young players. They ruin their confidence/morale. There's zero plan for them once they reach the big leagues. Cashman also has zero foresight and creativity. Opening Hal's checkbook to sign CC, Tex or a Gerrit Cole doesnt make you a good GM. He has no idea how to build a balanced lineup (because he doesnt believe in that idea) or a competent starting pitching staff. I respect the hell out of Cohen right now. He's everything George used to be. He wants to win at all financial costs. I'll be tuning in to the Mets this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Cohen is doing is spending money (good for Met fans...about time) and Yankees are proof that spending money alone doesn't win you jack sh*t. The Mets may be contenders annually like the Yankees are, but until they raise that trophy, all it does right now is give the Mets hope and there's nothing wrong with that.

As long as the "talent evaluators" remain with the team, you will continue to compete for a title. Yankees' farm system always one of the best in baseball.

That’s why trading Pete Crow Armstrong for the strikeout machine Baez put me over the edge this past year. Didn’t watch a Met game the rest of the season after that moronic move.

Baez can be a force on O & D and carry a team..... but as usual Mets get less of what the potential is. Can't kill Cohen on that signing... we were in contention at that point.

Once the Yankees guys get to the majors, there is no plan, they get jerked around w/inconsistent playing time and lose their confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I'm not a big fan of buying a championship. And it often doesn't work anyways. In terms of player acquisition I like skill and expertise and a level playing field. When the Mets or any team makes a smart signing and gets a good player at a fair price I like that over just killing it with overpaying. 40 mill plus a year for Scherzer is overkill. Look players are going to be getting more money because the sport is gaining extra revenue. Salaries should go up. But give me a great trade I like the off season a lot more. Trades are a lot of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Happy New Year fellow Mets fans. I am about 1/4 of the way through a great book that I received from my oldest son for Christmas about our beloved team So Many Ways to Lose, by Devin Gordon. It is a look at the franchise literally from the beginning, and is a tremendous mix of humor, nostalgia and just trips down memory lane. Some tidbits of trivia from the first 100 pages. 1) Marv Throneberry was a top Yankee prospect, and was traded along with Don Larsen in 1959 to the KC Athletics for Roger Maris.2) In 1969, the Mets staff pitched 51 complete games, 34 of them by Tom and Kooz. 3) In 1969, Seaver faced 14 bases loaded situations, and gave up ONE single. Highly recommend reading this guys. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather just establish/increase the spending floor and keep the luxury tax where it is at this point. Teams that are going to spend will spend regardless. It's the tanking teams that are hurting the game the most. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
