Otherwise goodbye. They should not get into any thought of a bidding war with anyone over him. He's already got $1mil of Mets money in his buyout and that should be treated as a fix cost that is not relevant to the signing decision. If the Mets can sign Putz cheap, that’s $2mil or less, fine.

HOW ELSE WOULD U EXPLAIN '06,'07,'08,PRE-DEVASTATION '09? RE. NYM/PHILLIES '06 WE BURIED THEM '07 & ;08 WE ASSISTED THEIR CATCHING UP UP TO US, LATE. '09 WE WERE IN FIRST PLACE WHEN BOTH DELGADO & REYES WENT DOWN THE SAME WEEK BASICLY WITHOUT OUR HELP THE PHILLIES CONTNUE THEIR LOSING TRADITION HOW ELSE, EXCEPT FOR THE LOSS OF OUR STARTING 1B,SS,CF,RF ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY AS WELL AS OUR #1,#3,#4,#5 SP ALONG WITH #1 SETUP OPTION AT SAME TIME. WHAT TEAM IN ANY SPORT DURING ANY CENTURY ENDURES ALL OF THAT, YET STILL DOESN'T END UP LAST WHILE STILL MAINTAINING SOME VIABILITY FOR SOME TIME. HOW MANY GAMES WERE THERE WHEN THE ONLY NON-REPLACEMENTS TAKING THE FIELD WERE CASTILLO & WRIGHT? 12 MAN ROTATION? WHO DOES THAT? 4 SS? AND WE NEVER DID GET TO SEE OUR #1 BACKUP MIDDLE INFIELDER, ANDY GREEN, SINCE HE WAS D/L'd AT THE SAME TIME AS WAS ALSO F-MART. WE ACCOMPLISHED USING 12SP,4SS,4C,3-1B,3RF & ONLY HAD TO GO OUT & ACQUIRE 1 MIDLE INFIELDER FROM OUTSIDE(DUE TO GREEN INJURY). BTW, I CALL THAT DEPTH WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. NO, IT'S NOT PROSPECTUAL DEPTH; BUT THERE WERE VERY FEW "LIMA TYPES" CALLED IN. IT WASN'T PRETTY, IT WAS BARELY TOLERABLE. HOPFULLY IT WILL SERVE TO MAKE THE RETURNING PLAYERS MORE LUSTFULL TO FULFILL THEIR DESTINY AS THEY WERE IN '06. SOME TRY TO LAY BLAME ON AGE, WHO'S OLDER NYM OR PHL? PHL! IT WASN'T AGE; BUT "ACT OF GOD" STUFF. GETTING STRUCK NY LIGHTNING USUALLY ISN'T CAUSE TO BLAME THE VICTIM. IT'S TOUGH TO COME FACE 2 FACE WITH OUR VULNERABILITY AT THE HANDS OF MORE POWERFUL FORCES. LOST IN ALL OF THE RUBBLE ARE A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS, IN SPITE OF ALL THE NON-REGULARS THE TEAM'S .270 BA TIED FOR #1 IN NL WITH LAD & THEIR .278 RISP WAS STAND ALONE #1 IN NL ONLY .001 BEHIND WS CHUMPIONS.(& SOME WANT HOJO GONE?) AMAZING WHAT THE ANTI-NYMET PRESSCORPS DOESN'T TELL U.(EVEN SNY IS BASICLY ANTI-MET, PRO NYY. AND WHO RUNS SNY? 'LIL JEFF!)) I'M TELLING U GUYS U MUST OCCASIONALLY LISTEN TO OPPONENT BROADCASTS OF OUR GAMES TO REALLY APPRECIATE US. NY SPORTSPRESS LIKE US AS MUCH AS CALIFORNIA LOVES BILL O'REILLY, SEAN HANNITY & RUSH LIMBAUGH! BAYONNE, U QUESTION EFFECT OF INJURIES? HOW ELSE WOULD U EXPLAIN ‘06,’07,’08,PRE-DEVASTATION ‘09? RE.

If everything last year was because of his injuries then he is definitely worth a shot to look at. This guy has had success before, he’s put up some real good numbers before.

Like Mets62Fan says an effective Putz in the bullpen on a low guarantee with incentives makes the bullpen one of the best pens in the majors.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:20:53 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=15685#comment-32051 I disagree with you and I would like to explain why. If the Mets were to sign Putz even to an incentive laden deal, they would be doing so sight unseen. Considering how we all knocked the Mets around for building a team with so many older or injury prone players, how can we now ask them to sign a pitcher who hasn't thrown a pitch since last May? That's just asking for trouble. With so many other relievers in the free agent market, why go after one that could end up blowing up in our face? Dont we have enough injury concerns?? Will Johan's bonespur surgery end up being like John Maine's bonespur surgery from last offseason? Will Jose Reyes ever be the same player? Is Oliver Perez coming back? Did Beltran's bone bruise heal all the way? What about Jon Niese? Or Fernando Nieve? We dont need to add Putz into an already cloudy situation. I disagree with you and I would like to explain why.
