you see, when you dont score, you dont put pressure on your opponent to score against you

its all part of run prevention #mets

with tucker they could have still played benge at center, or left, and soto at first.

they were fairly comparable players, looking back.

YUP

many mets fans just hate the yankees because they grew up with insufferable yankees fans. which i think you’re unironically embodying today

which part? i mean i for one never gave a shit about timmy trumpet

skenes would be an ace on just about any first division club

the hall of fame generally looks at careers rather than blips on the radar. and i agree - i dont even think ohtani, if he retired today, should be in the hall.

when people talk about an ace they generally mean someone who they can project can lead a first division club in a given season.

so for you, an ace is about their past body of work, not the potential to be the best pitcher on a team in an given year.

so youd say doc gooden in 1984 was not an ace. what about in 1985 when he threw maybe the best season of mlb pitching in history?

if it’s “the first year” they couldnt possibly have all those accolades. 6+ war in his first full year would count for me.

matt harvey?

mitch keller

what was the question again?

yep, id rather the mets let one of the kids try out in that spot on the 26 man anyway.

yup. semien will be a huge upgrade at 2b and will play there everyday. if the mets signed arreaz it would be as a bench bat.

just the top part - i dont think the padres will trade tatis and thats a yankee fan. soto to 1b this year makes some sense if he’s down to do it.

my hunch is mostly based on this.

one more SP2 - type for sure, and i think an outfielder, probably by trade. I have a hunch that Soto is our true 1b

he has literally no chance of the hall of fame, but is guaranteed mets hall of fame

he was fired for sleeping with a cameraman's daughter

so glad the mets avoided bader

1. Bader sucks, he played for the mets and we couldn't wait to get rid of him.

2. Acuna is a AAAA ballplayer. He is not a prospect anymore, and he has no place on the pro squad.

It was a bargain deal for a change of scenery, a bounce back candidate who at a minimum provides elite defense.

it wont. you just dont have sources. it was pete, he was the problem.

lol dipshit it’s been completely over since 2015. if you were a mets fan you would have known that

super easy to get over it when they massively upgrade the team as part of it!

ok - im predicting the mets:
1. sign framber valdez
2. ⁠extend peralta
3. ⁠soto is our starting 1b - polanco actually is our DH not 1b.
4. ⁠trade senga and/or petersen
5. ⁠trade for or sign 1 or 2 more outfielders (duran, austin hayes) with the assumption that soto wont be out there like at all.

interestingly, members of the nats leadership helped draft many of the players they chose, when they were part of the rangers FO.

similarly, guess who is a special advisor to the brewers? billy eppler, the guy who drafted jett williams and drafted sproat (the first time)

the rangers second best prospect wasnt even on the top 100 prospects list.
