RutgersJetFan Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Per Heyman's Twitter. Great hire IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Great, great hire. Alderson is a great baseball man, and instantly brings respectability to that franchise. Next will be to steal Cliff Lee away from the Yankees in an LOL moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Lee to flushing would be great for NY baseball. The only way Lee ends up in Flushing is if the Yanks lend the Mets the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Lee to flushing would be great for NY baseball. The Mets do not need Cliff Lee. They need to first cater their team to their ball park and then they can turn mediocre pitchers into very good pitchers through defense and the ballpark dimensions.

Any team that has the World Series as their goal needs Cliff Lee. Agreed though on the other points, the Mets need more than just Lee. Non-issue either way, he isn't coming to either NY team.

For the money that it would cost for Cliff Lee, no the Mets do not need him. There is more that they can do with that money not spent, and achieve more for the club.

They need to first cater their team to their ball park and then they can turn mediocre pitchers into very good pitchers through defense and the ballpark dimensions. So then...what would the park do for a great pitcher who can stay healthy? The Mets pitching would look alot stronger with a true ace in front of Pelfrey...Lee/Pelfrey/Dickey/Niese/Santana could be a legit possibility by late-season next year, and that just looks scary on paper. Also, money is overrated here. Money is something both teams have. I actually think the Mets are the more likely NY stop for Lee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmoe57 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My crystal ball says if Lee signs with the Mets his stats will be Wins 12 Losses 15 ERA 2.06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ILK Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Kind of sounded like the Mets would not be making any free agent splashes this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they focused on developing a system that will scout and develop first, I would be ecstatic. That is where the first emphasis should reside.

But if they stumble around for while, citi filed will be a ghost town again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Alderson's firt task? Building a moat around his office that he can stock with crocodiles to keep Jeffy out. Then go get Carl Crawford and Orlando Hudson. Then, take Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo out behind the chemical sheds and decapitate them. Then go hire a manager that's not a total pussy who will make David Wright into a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking but Wiplon already said he does not have full autonomy, Sandy Alderson's first order of business will be finding the Mets' next manager.

Hopefully, here's how a typical conversation between Alderson and Jeffy goes; Alderson: Jeffy, I need a check for $9 mil, stat. Chop chop. I just dumped that pussy Wright on the Dodgers for Andre Ethier and Clayton Kershaw. It's genius. Jeffy: $9 million!? But...but...but... Alderson: Right. Threw in Perez, too. You're welcome. Send Judy down with a check. Now. I'll lower the drawbridge. Jeffy: Now? Alderson: Now, Private! Jeffy: Yes, sir. Alderson: Thank me. Jeffy: Excuse me? Alderson: THANK ME, BOY!! And send Judy down with that check. And a ham sandwich. Pimentos. Jeffy: Pimentos. Yes, sir. And, uh, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyHector Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 If they focused on developing a system that will scout and develop first, I would be ecstatic. That is where the first emphasis should reside. This can easily be accomplished by bringing Ricciardi on board and moving away from the organization's practice of not paying over slot in the draft.
