Comments on: A Blast From The Mets Past Could Help In 2010 http://metsmerizedonline.com/2009/10/a-blast-from-the-mets-past-could-help-in-2010.html A New York Mets Blog For Diehard Mets Fans Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:23:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: metstem http://metsmerizedonline.com/2009/10/a-blast-from-the-mets-past-could-help-in-2010.html/comment-page-1#comment-33776 metstem Sat, 05 Dec 2009 08:00:12 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=14122#comment-33776 CitiField plays best to lefties in terms of power potential. Delgado might be the best option at first. Scary if he gets injured but not so much if you have a backup. Jacobs can play first and outfield. He is def. a power lefty and he could be a 4 or 5 hitter in a pinch. We had Daniel Murphy batting cleanup last year. Trade Murphy, Pagan, Maine and Pelfrey for Halladay or take on a portion of Vernon Wells' contract and put him in left. Then sign Sheets, Bedard and Wolf. Rotation Santana Halladay Sheets Bedard Wolf Perez 3 righties and 3 lefties. I don't mean to suggest a 6 man rotation, but I think Oliver getting like 20-25 starts filling in for guys that need to miss a turn might be most effective. Lineup Reyes Beltran Wright Delgado/Jacobs Wells/or free agent left fielder Franceur Santos/Blanco Castillo When one guy like Delgado represents the only power bat on your roster, things get bad quickly. We need to add some home run threats to go along with our very well rounded core players. It's all about pitching and that rotation is scary.

3 righties and 3 lefties. I don’t mean to suggest a 6 man rotation, but I think Oliver getting like 20-25 starts filling in for guys that need to miss a turn might be most effective.

When one guy like Delgado represents the only power bat on your roster, things get bad quickly. We need to add some home run threats to go along with our very well rounded core players.

It’s all about pitching and that rotation is scary.

I understand some people don't believe the statistic has value, and while I believe that is gravely incorrect, I do think it is something that should be addressed, even if the author's conclusion is that it doesn't matter. That and his terrible defense and speed. I’m surprised that the author of this post doesn’t even discuss Jacob’s abominable OBP at all.
