SouthernJet Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Could they have moved DelGado's salary? I dont know if Mets have a 1st base option though in system.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmike1 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Carl Pavano, Kyle Farnsworth and Jason Giambi, thats three. keep the money and play some youngins. They have done without Pavano for most of the year and if you don't think giambi being out has really hurt this team you're dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What one high priced player could each team have done without this year, and what would have been better uses of the money? If you're talking about contracts added last off season: Mets ---- right now you'd have to say Alou...........any healthy LF would be better though I will be extremely happy if he's in our post season line-up..... if we make it. Yanks---- Pettitte I guess is the only big contract they took on unless you wanna count Clemens who was signed to the "Roger plan" in season. Since Pavano held true to form you really can't kill the Pettitte signing and other than just recently, he has been very good. SOX----JD was a huge contract but I still say he will hit. Who they could have signed instead?....Jose Guillen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Giambi, never did. he's always hurt and can't play the field. so what good is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about last year when he was the 2nd best hitter on the team besides jeter and played 140 games? The yankees REALLY miss that production.

K2C Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'm neutral here: Yanks- Pavano Mets- Beltran Sorry..but the Mets overpaid for a player that had 10 HR's in a postseason. He is not a very productive player for the salary he makes...especially his spot in the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 yup I applaud your loyalty to those blokes but Giambi is "hurt," once again, and Abreu is so bad that he is attempting to bunt every other game just to get on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL @ loyalty. This is about cold hard numbers, not loyalty. And I said Abreu had 9 hall of fame quality years, obviously this year isn't on that list.

Gainzo Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 LOL @ loyalty. I will go out on a limb and say that 99% of the people who post in this forum will back me up when I say that you talk up the Yankees and the prospects in the minors over any Red Sox or any other player in MLB. Okajima: He doesn't deserve to make the All-Star Team. Ellsbury: Overrated. Lowell: He sucks in the 2nd half. Varitek: Not one of the best catchers in the game. I could go on and on.

green_blood Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yanks- Johnny Damon ,Carl Pavano ,Jaret Wirght Mets - Delgado , Pedro Martinez Pedro filled his purpose of giving Minaya's Mets credibility as a team where FAs could go. Fans funneled back into Shea and it opened the Latino market for the Mets, which there are more Latinos at Shea. If he never pitches again, it doesn't matter, that signing created this Mets team.

That was the best decision Omar made this offseason. I am very pleased the Mets didnt sign him. He would have been a bigger bust in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
