  Why did you have to knock Bowman for? How do you know he’s not a top 10 prospect??? Im tired of everybody knocking our farm system, when its the envy of baseball.

  spongebob, he didn’t knock him or our farm system at all. he said Bowman wasn’t a top 10 prospect. that is not a knock. also, how would he know? if you know anything about Mets prospects, unlike you, then you know hes not a top 10 prospect. but anyway, i like that the Mets protected him.

  If he K’ed in 1/3 of his ABs in AA, I think they would have a better prospect to protect…

    if you knew the rules the Mets had to protect him or risk losing him in the rule5 draft.Bowman was a high prospect before the injuries he is just getting himself back.I like this move and im intrigued to see how he does in Buffalo.

      Greetings to a fellow Steve, but why would he go to Buffalo when he has yet to master AA?

        Hello fellow Steve.Im assuming there is a progression,if he cant make it they will cut him or then take him of the 40 man roster.

  We have the most pathetic 40 man I have ever seen. We should cut loose about 15 of these clowns.

    JDON, WHERE WOULD WE HAVE BEEN LAST YR NEEDING 12 SP, 4 SS,3 IB,4 C, ETC.
    THE ABSOLUTE WORST TIME TO ATTEMPT ANY TRADE IS WHEN EVERYONE KNOWS U R NEEDY. THAT’S WHEN CLUBS TRY TO GET YOUR TOP PROSPECTS FOR FLOTSAM/JETSUM. DESPERATION BREEDS STUPIDITY & OVERPAYMENT. NO ONE HAS A 40 OF ‘STARS’! U NEED 40 SERVICABLE PIECES AT VARYING LEVELS.

  I wouldn’t bring putz back. agree disagree let me know
• andy November 5, 2009 at 9:23 pm

  Agree go after brandon lyon instead
  • Daniel November 6, 2009 at 5:05 pm

    Yeaa me to but why Lyons ? What about Joe Beimel the Mets showed interest last year. I think they should sign him he wouldn’t cost much maybe 1/3. Let me know what you guys think.

  Mets made the right decision regarding Putz. No point paying a set-up man $9 mil. It will be interesting to see what his deal turns out to be and how long it takes him to get an offer. With his recent surgery, you wouldn’t expect much competition to sign him.

  Hey Jdon, your the clown. I like this move too. You will be surprised with the numbers Bowman puts up in Buffalo next year.
