  This was a great move! I know there’s a chance that one or both may not even work out, but I’d rather watch these guys then Elmer Dessens, Pat Misch and Chris Carter who by the way sucks in the outfield.

  FINALLY! I can’t wait to see what Duda could do in the big leagues.

  I believe Duda should get either an even split of starts in RF or 3/4 of the starts.

  Even though Duda and Carter are both lefties, we pretty much know what we have in Chris Carter, so we may as well find out what there is in Duda. Nothing to lose right?

  Plus, imagine the potential for article titles.

  Oh de Duda day!

  Mets fans, once again, get what they want.

  We wanted Duda, Mejia, Misch, Feliciano, Carter, Dickey, Tejada, Ike all to be promoted, and they were. We wanted Francoeur traded, and he was. We wanted Green to stay in AAA and he is. We wanted Beltran back from rehab, and he is. And soon Gee will be joining the Mets.

  Oe, I read your earlier piece as u suggested and surmised the situation this way….don’t know why we need another Murphy, if pitching,speed & defense is the motto over your stadium’s doors do Murphy,Duda,Havens have any place to play in Queens? I think not. Re. your trade to AL idea, wasn’t that supposed to be the ultimate Murphy solution, instead they were training him @ the ever important defensive pos of 2B. Is there no end to the madness? When did the phrase “strong up the middle” become defunct? Just maybe we can make Yu happy & deal Reyes or Wright for Uggla & create an “ALL IRON GLOVE” TEAM, LMAO! here’s the best idea, field a team wwiyj Duda, Murphy, Havens & Uggla with Perez on the mound & see if we can wipe the ’62ers out of the record books. What d’ya say?

    I knew my ears were burning for a reason. Did you mean “make me happy”, Mets62? ROFL. I don’t think I’m being repped well here. I can’t ever advocate dealing for Reyes and Wright for Uggla. I want to see guys like Duda because regardless of the public speeches, this team is not going for a playoff push. Let’s see what they can do while the season is still going, even if it means more to the Mets opponents than it does us. Murphy is not even an option for me unless he’s a backup 3rd baseman—one of the few things he is capable of doing. Perez on the mound? Really? Now you’re just being silly. LOL

      Yu, yu got me! I was poorly trying to emphasize the kneejerk desperation thoughts of trading 2 of the best kids we’ve ever developed as positional players before either one ever entered his prime!(28-32) I believe before the bathwater is tossed the Mets owe it to themselves & us fans to truly consider the burden put upon both these guys, #1 Wright is bombarded nightly by the press representing 6 or more daily publications compared to the sole reporter dispatched by the Atlanta Journal Constitution to interview Chipper or McCann, or The sole reps sent by the Philadelphia Inquirerer or the St Louis Dispatch to interview their “local heroes” Utley, Rollins, Howard, Pujols, Holliday respectively. As one of the few top talented natural English speaking players Wright is burdened by the press’ laziness & bigotry of not seeking out Reyes,Castillo, Beltran who are linguisticly more challenging to interview.
      Yu, in ALL HONESTY, I, like most Met fans love our booth comprised of Ronnie,Gary & Mex; but because I live in a zip code(NC) claimed as exclusive broadcast territory by four MLB franchises(Cinc,DC,ATL,Balt) I’m precluded from NY telecasts & forced to ‘endure’ the homer offerings from those competitors. What I’ve found is, in the name of supposed objectivity that triumvirate along with the entire SNY broadcasting schedule is treating Met fans by the book written by Pavlov on canine training. We are being distilled by negativity. for example, in this current Atlanta series I learned that David Wright despite being 0′fer Turnerfield this season is #2 on the active player list for hitting the most HR against Atlanta(Howard is #1). Did u know that? Just as Chipper is the bane of Flushing so is Wrigt our counterpoint Vs. Atlanta. In addition, from watching all of these out-of-town broadcasts, I’ve gleamed that of the 750 active players in MLB you’d have a near impossible task of finding a more feared leadoff hitter than Reyes. Certainly something needs to be done to infuse more young talent into this franchise; but of ALL the tradeable commodities on hand, I submit that a rebuilding team on a more restrictive budget requires a past hhis prime (28-32) $20M/Y stud pitcher least of all. My offseason gameplan would include recontacting Texas with their productivly talented farm system, to dangle the possibility of acquiring Santana, under control for 4Y(ages 32-35) @ 90M to see if they’d bite. Johan is no idiot & must realize his dreams of wearing championship jewelry have been extended beyond his useful playing life if he stays in Flushing.
