i totally agree with you, Sixxis. We Met fans. on the back of a disastrous 2009 have got to keep up the heat…and concrete ideas going forth…virtually daring ownership/management to screw it up once again…when there are multiple options out there that would re-fit this team for success.
Of course, if we do sign/trade forthese guys, we’d have to hold our breath that their recent records hold true and we get no plethora of injuries…but we must be aggressive and pursue a strategy.

I believe that rumors are sometimes started by teams to gauge any type of reaction, Fans have more say than you think. Many of us have no trust in Mets ownership; they have proven they won’t go top-dollar even when necessary in fact, this rumor smells of it..So yes I want rumors bandied about so the Mets can see that we are watching and won’t tolerate nothing less than a supreme effort in improving this team.
P.S. Bob L. I understand where you’re coming from…nice insight.

Now your are talking. A little boycott sounds nice. Don’t-don’t- don’t support the won’t-pons. Actually the only true hope for this franchise is that they sell. And they never will, unless, perhaps, people sty away in droves.

Guillen is nother one of those guys that O has always coveted. But if he has nothing to say about personnel, there is nothing to worry about. This move smells of cheap. Therefore the Wontpons just might do it. They never learn

I like how absolutely no moves have been made yet this offseason, no big FAs being signed or anything, and yet Met fans are running around like headless chickens as if the sky is falling. Get a grip, lets see how it all pans out before burning our Mets hats.

Dave, the ‘Plan B’ i’ve been touting takes all the components needed to be added to the Mets to contend next season…obviously ‘different’ players can be added to our pitching category, LF/1B category, catching, et cetera, and parsed and added to, deleted, et cetera…but Plan B encompasses pitching. power, defense, speed, and all that good stuff…
i was trying to be practical, given the competition for the headline guys and still get to the endpoint, which is winning enough games to get us intothe playoffs.

If u said Castillo for Guillen, i could see some sense in that but not much.

I mean if the plan is something like Guillen, Hudson, Molina, Marquis, i am going to be really upset because that is terrible. Wow my pierre for castillo trade is not so bad when their talking about this bum guillen.

A good strategy involves several plans. A plan for LF, a plan for the rotation, a plan for C, a plan for setup man. First you adopt your goal, then you develop your strategy or blue print, then you subdivide it into several working plans for each part of your blue print or strategy.

No one player is a ‘plan’. No ‘one’ player revitalizes our chances to contend. It must encompass a comprehensive strategy.
