GimmeShelter Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Would love a power hitting 1st Baseman if Omar can pull it off. How different this season would be if Delgado had signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I guess the best thing is seeing Glavine win his third consecutive outing. Of course having Piazza and Beltran hit homeruns are good too. And being 2 games over .500 is good too, given that they continue to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Omar has to get on his horse and get this team some offense quick, man. Why doesn't he try and get Castillo out of Florida or someone like that? An OBP guy. And a nice bat at first would be great too. If Omar is going to do it it has to be now.

TomShane Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Fill me in on this Tom...who is available for the 1B position currently? Mike Sweeney is the big name from KC. Last year of his deal and he's struggling with injuries. He'll go somewhere. Another dude is Todd Helton. Huge contract, but Colorado might pay to get out from under it.

Jetheelz Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Thats cool...don't know much about Sweeney since he is on the KC team. Out of the two you mentioned, Helton sounds like a better deal. Not so injury proned and perhaps able to contribute in the lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlag Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Mets are starting to get their act together although you're going to need the Nationals to slip some more because I don't know if the Braves will. There have been Mets I've actually liked in the past years and kinda rooted for. Guys like Melvin Mora and Dotel. I like watching young guys mature with a team, I was disappointed when they left NY. That said I'm not a Reyes fan at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Tino and Womack for Mike Cameron Our new GM is not in the habit of taking on players who barely have any use this season let alone the next one. If we were a lock for post season play that deal might make sense if the Yanks absorbed 99% of all the $$$ involved. You will have to settle your CF problem with Winn or yikes , Tike Redman.

GimmeShelter Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Is Lyle Overbay available? Nah he was thought to be than Milw went and locked him up with a 4 year deal. Not sure I understand that one with Cecil Fielder's son ready for prime time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinlawyer Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Minaya is not going to fuk around...he will make sure that any guy he gets in a deal is solid. Look at the acquisitions he made in Montreal/Washington...he made some impressive trades! The mets are on a roll...let's hope streak killer Ishii can keep it up to seep the Padres...

faba Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Where did this offensive explosion come from? Hope they save some hits for me on sunday. LGM! Reyes gets on base as the lead off hitter and it sets the table for this team-they still need power hitter in the middle of the order though.

NorthCoastJetsFan Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Mike Sweeney is the big name from KC. Last year of his deal and he's struggling with injuries. He'll go somewhere. Another dude is Todd Helton. Huge contract, but Colorado might pay to get out from under it. No thanks to either of these guys. Sweeney is hurt a lot, and Helton has a questionable back. In addition, if you look at Helton's home/road splits, you'll see the effect that Coors field has on his numbers. I'd take Adam Dunn, even if I don't like the way he strikes out. He could probably be pried out of Cincy for very little. Here's the reality: none of us thought they would be in the race. Personally, I was just hoping for 80-85 wins and respectability. So let's not go ape$h*t and trade away the future for this season. If we could get a bat that's usable for 3-4 seasons, OK. But no quick fixes, please. Why: 1)they never work for us and 2) I'd puke for a month if we turned into the f'n Yankees. Jim P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Mac Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I like Sweeney. Ya gotta be a gap hitter at Shea. Let's Go Omar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 The Mets still need another bat in the middle of the lineup- a contact hitter that does not strike out that much is preferable to me and bullpen help. I have confidence in Minaya- he did a great job in Montreal on limited resoures and has made the moves to put the Mets in the position they are in now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 NEW YORK -- The Mets watched the play of the Dodgers with focused interest over the weekend, curious to see the performance of one particular player, Jeff Kent. As the trading deadline moves closer, the Dodgers' second baseman becomes more prominent on the Mets' list. And according to one source familiar with the substance of discussions between the clubs, the Mets have inquired about Kent's availability. The source, who said Kent would likely be asked to play some first base, also indicated the chance for a deal seemed remote as of Sunday afternoon, but that he understood the Mets planned to inquire again. mets website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Mac Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Kent can't hit at Shea. He proved it again today. He was booed soundly each time up by those of us who remember. NO thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Howley III Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Kent can't hit at Shea. He proved it again today. He was booed soundly each time up by those of us who remember. NO thanks! I miss Jason Phillips' goofy goggles, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Jeff Kent I will pass on - to play at first base or second- I want a younger player to shore up the offense- instead of Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
