Deal on hold after a story involving Chapman has emerged containing the word abuse and the word domestic as well. Him and Puig would have made such a charming twosome.

maqroll Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yeah, I read that late last night. Seems we passed on him when we heard about the incident. Not really sure why they need Chapman, Jensen is an elite closer in his own right. The Cubans are really making a name for themselves, Cespedes is a nut too.

El Zen Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Fingers crossed for your sake that Moncada isn't an utter a***hole too, then. Damn, I envy that signing.

maqroll Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'd rather they'd have traded Buchholz or Porcello. Miley is an innings eater. But, we have a surplus of starting pitchers, so someone had to go. I expect another will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Starlin Castro for Adam Warren and Brendan Ryan. I like Adam Warren a lot, but he was only a middle reliever with the Yankees. I think I have to like it, given Castro's potential and, if nothing else, it keeps Ryan's impotent bat away from our lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I agree it's an overpay for a defense first type player, but he's still a good player and the sum of the parts is beginning to look good for the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another forum I used there was a graphic of payroll over the past 10 years... most teams have had quite a large improvement, the Mets have actually decreased! Then you have who we stomped all over in the playoffs making some pretty good deals. The Mets? We let the guy who took us to the playoffs walk, then the guy who took us to the World Series, we let him walk too. 3 minutes ago, maqroll said: Kurt, come visit Boston, I'll take you to a game at Fenway, maybe Levi will make an appearance.

A consistent .280+ hitter who never strikes out is a pretty decent bat to have in your lineup. Definitely a guy who hits in big spots too. Downgrade at 2B with Walker/Herrera going in to next season. CF will obviously be a massive offensive downgrade with Lagaras becoming an every day player over Cespedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Pitching and defense win championships. The Mets will contend again, your pitching is arguably the best in baseball. If the Cubs add pitching, I'd be concerned, but you have the spine of a club that will make the playoffs again and again, and anything can happen once you're in. Chin up, fella, Mets are a good **** team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It's in the Mets fan DNA to expect it all to go to pieces. I don't expect a season like last year either. Last year was fun though Being a Jets / Mets / Villa fan you just always expect the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
