  “Terry Collins said that Daniel Murphy is at second base because of how well he played last night. This could be something to watch.”

  Murphy is a good hitter and problematical at 2B, not the gaffe machine that some fans have claimed. He’s probably not as good as my eyes want him to be either. To me, Willie, Jerry and especially Omar mismanaged Murphy in their shortsighted ‘win now’ approach. It would be wonderful if Murphy, Emaus, Tejada and Havens all reached their potential and gave the Mets great solo and pairing options. We’d also have good trade possibilities.

    Havens has even less value now than he did on the day he was drafted. His value has plummetted and the only thing he would be in a trade would be as a throw-in.

    I see them valued as

    1. Murphy for his bat and versatility
    2. Tejada for his defense and maybe one day his bat too
    3. Emaus absolutely zero value
    4. Havens less than zero

      Are you communing with the Gods?
      Do you have a Ouija board that talks to you?
      How do you know Havens value has plummeted?
      How do you know Havens has less than zero value.

      Proof would be if Mets offered him on the market. I think other teams would swoop in.

        i knew you would jump all over that one!what took you so long?slow on the trigger?

          baby al, I’m beginning to feel fatigued by the Mets lack of winning play, so I have to go back to keeping fit to endure the day in and day out losses.
          Omar was likely a nice guy to have a beer with, but managed the budget like the guy in D.C. Terry and Sandy must now have some private doubts now about the wisdom of accepting their jobs. The Mets look like a 4th or 5th place team. Aside from an occasional chance win, they have no stopper on the hill who is durable and without a history of injuries. Our bench hitters are either terrible or just going through a dry spell. Hairston can’t handle low pitches, Emaus and Hu can’t handle any pitches, and Harris is a ‘maybe’ at the plate. Our prospects are somewhere between bleak and mediocre. But I’ll root on. By the way, I never read the New York mainstream media sports scribes. They suck and treat the game and business of baseball like Page 6 gossip.

            des i usually try to stay away from the met articles but sadly sometimes the bold type seduces me.i believe we are heading for another midnight massacre.reyes will replace seaver. geniusalderson is m donald grant,the daily news&sny are dick young and freddye wilponzie will blame irving picard and his greed for the loss of reyes.this met team is full of stumble bums check the baseball cards of the hitters geniusalderson signed!backsliders that are considered nonentities in their own households.you can’t make chicken soup out of chicken s t.the other day jeffye wilpon said give us a chance…watch us play…the wilponzie mob knows how to cut their own necks.lol
            • Des April 14, 2011 at 12:27 am

              It’s another day, another season, but the results are the same so far. SOS to Aaron Heilman and Steve Trachsel — where are you when we need you? lol
              • baby al April 14, 2011 at 7:38 pm

                yeah des same results u would think omar were still here.its hard to tell that we are being directed by geniusalderson the smirking sage of roosevelt avenue!hey jeffye i saw your team play they stink,pardner.
            • Des April 14, 2011 at 12:50 am

              Hey baby al — you say you try to stay away but if the bold type of Mets articles seduce you, stay away from the Bonds stuff. The Michelin Man is like a schmoo. You know he’s lying but you can’t keep him down. I remember the genuine Bonds, Bobby. He was a good outfielder who hit about .275 with power. He’s been outdone by his son in so many ways, some even good.

  This might be as good a reason as any to demote Parnell. They’ll need to get Gee up to start on Thursday and no one else has options.

  Is anyone really surprised that Parnell and his laser-straight fastball and non-existent secondary pitch has gotten shelled this year?
  • Metsie April 13, 2011 at 9:46 am

    Not surprised here.
    Especially when his philosophy to pitching seems to be, that didn’t work I’ll throw the next one harder!
• happy little mets fans April 12, 2011 at 9:06 pm

  a nice gesture. You jest???? No, you don’t… Not a nice gesture. Just a move to prevent the embarrasment of a zero attendance game if they went day night. You happy little metsies are incredibly naive or……..
• baby al April 13, 2011 at 12:30 am

  if the wilponzie mob thought it was profitable to charge double admission they would. fact is they would probally have been humilitated by the showing.so to avoid the public relations disaster they give the fans two for the price of one. the way the team is playing it is still a loss for whoever buys a ticket.nice jesture has nothing to do with it!calling it a very nice jesture is very naive.
  • t agee April 13, 2011 at 10:12 am

    100% correct. If the Wilpon could have charged two admissions for 1 game they would have done it. That’s why they built a Stadium that only holds 45,000. They wanted to squeeze everyone for top dollar in the good times. Now they have the tickets in the discount bin because of the constant cycle of huge expectations/huge disapointments instead of just building a steady consistent fan base by building a steady and consistent team by actively going out and scouting, drafting and signing the highest talent possible both in the US and outside the country every single year, year after year, like an assembly line of 1-2 outstanding well rounded fully prepared 21-24 year olds every year that have been groomed to come up here. That know how to play the position they’ll be playing, that have an educated eye, that run out infield pop ups and GB’s. Kids that had four solid years of coaching and development under their belt and have forced their way into the Majors by applying what they have been taught.

    A nice gesture by the Wilpon would be to stop this self serving cheapout behavoir of drafting less talented players instead of the most talented one’s. Then people would have a reason to start coming out again.

      TA,the mets signed developed and nutured jose reyes . now that it is time to pay him they will get rid of him rather than pay him.how can i take anything geniusalderson does serious once he dumps reyes …… which he will as per the wilponzie mob direction.the scary thing is how easily so called met fans accept this possibility.the daily news has made it a point to disect every reyes mistake this season…every flaw…could this be because the sportwriters on that tabloid reside in the wilponzie mob billfold?these suckups have become soldiers in the wilponzie mob.how,kind sir, do u a development guy justify the banisment of one of the few allstars we have developed?
      • t agee April 13, 2011 at 7:37 pm

        No way Baby Al. I’ll be really pissed if we lose Reyes. The decision to resign him should be based on the fact that almost no other team has a SS that can both hit and field. No one. Colorado and Miami. Dodgers and Redsox have SS possibilities in the high minors after that…..

        On a good team Tejada would not be considered anything more than a good back up MI with the potential of being more than that. Nothing I have ever read or heard about Flores indicates that he will ever be a Major League SS. And yet one of the very few very good players we have ever developed here looks like he could be shipped out. Makes me sick to my effin’ stomach. And to think of all the money we paid all these mutants from other teams through the years and we can’t even retain our own is even more sickening.
        • baby al April 13, 2011 at 7:43 pm

          ta…..thank u.
          • t agee April 13, 2011 at 7:56 pm

            Your welcome BA. I just hope it doesn’t come to that. I mean to lose one of the very few good players we have ever had, in his prime, would be criminal especially when we continually go out and get the oldest most expensive and decrepit players possible. Just beyond understanding if it happens.
  • Donal April 13, 2011 at 10:26 am

    What owner in baseball doesn’t charge as much as he believes he can get away with? Even give aways and discounted tickets happen because they figure they’ll get a return on the back end.
• Metstheory22 April 13, 2011 at 8:52 am

  On the positive side….Bullpen did not blow one.
