62, You can bicker about how much $ are available and what the price will be, but that’s Omar’s job. Let him find the deal that works since that’s what he gets paid to do. Other teams have made deals. Omar needs to earn his keep and he’s just not doing that. As far as DeRosa goes, he got hurt just after LaRussa picked him up. But that can happen on any deal. Supposed to be day to day and back shortly anyway (our injureds are longer), so even that one would likely have worked out.

Look at the law of statistics too, how many teams have huge stars that came through their farm system, not that many. They are NOT a dime a dozen but more like catching lightning in a bottle.

While today, in way things are this minutes you may not see it, but we do have Wright, Reyes, Pelfry, not too shabby…….

MASK, I REFER U TO MY REPLY TO BARRY I’M PASTING HERE SAVING U TIME IN HUNTING:
THE UNSPOKEN REASON FOR NOT DOING A “LITTLE’ COSMETIC DEAL IS THAT OMAR CAN’T LET PAYROLL EXCEED $162M (THE ‘09 LUXURY TAX LINE). BEEING AT $149,373,987 RIGHT NOW HE HAS ONLY 12,626,013 TO ALLOCATE. USING ONLY A SMIDGEON OF THAT ON LIPGLOSS FOR THIS CURRENT ‘PIG’ LINEUP WOULD ELIMINATE ANY POSSIBILITY OF A HOLIDAY OR HALLADAY SINCE @ 13M FOR FULL SEASON, EITHER WERE PLANNED TO TUCK IN NICELY CONSIDERING THE FULL SEASON WOULD BE PRORATED & TRADED PLAYERS SUBTRACTED THE FIT WOULD BE SNUG; BUT WOULD’VE WORKED HAD WE NEEDED IT SANS INJURIES. THUS, IN CASE OF TIMELY PLAYER RETURNS, OMAR WOULD BE FOOLISH YO CHOOSE A HUFF OR DUNN OVER A HOLIDAY OR HALLADAY JUST FOR A SMALL SHORT TERM BENEFIT

ALSO MASK, DON’T EVER BELIEVE WHAT HAIRSTON WENT FOR FROM As IS PRICEW DEMANDED OF NYM. U SEEM TO IGNORE THERE’S NOTHING STOPPING THESE TEAMS FROM DEMANDING A ‘CORE’ FOR A ‘FIXERUPPER’ OR OUR 2 OR 3 BEST PROSPECTS? BTW WHAT’S DiROSA’S CNTRIBUTION RIGHT NOW? WASN’T HE, YOUR LATEST “GUY”?

SARGE, MUCH OF WHAT U SAY IS VALID; BUT I’D NEED TO POINT OUT THAT REPLACEMENT PLAYERS USUALLY LET U DOWN UNLESS HOLLYWOOD IS INVOLVED. METS ARE UNFORTUNATLY LEFT WITH A ROSTER NOT SEEN SINCE THE LAST STRIKE PUT A BUNCH OF SCABS ON MLB FIELDS. MY BEST EXAMPLE WOULD BE CORA, A NICE ACQUISITION TO SPELL CASTILLO’S KNEES(HIS JOB DESCRIPTION); BUT HE ISN’T NOW OR EVER WAS A TOPFLIGHT SS MEANT AS A REG STARTER. MURPHY? A MISTAKE FROM THE GETGO, LIKELY OFFERING TO FANS CLAMORING FOR HOMEGROWN YOUTH ON ROSTER.

MASK? CLUELESS? WHAT WAS JERRY TO DO & WHEN? ST? 15 MIAs @ WBC. PLAYERS ARE ALL TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH, TRY COUNTING # OF 1 HANDED CATCHES ANY OPPONENT MAKES IN ANY GAME. THIS 2 HANDED RULE IS REDICULOUS GUIDELINE NOONE FOLLOWS @ MLB LEVEL. CHECK IT OUT 2 HAND CATCHES ARE LIKE DODO BIRDS, EXTINCT. GO BACK TO LL U MUST LIKE IT IN TE MOB, LOTS OF COMPANY IN THE ASYLUM. NO?
