That’s funny Alex. Hopefully she’ll be able to switch over to Reyes next year and for a long time to come.

Glad to see their are some young Met Fans around after the disapointment of the last few years.

Buen Trabajo.

Interleague play does not matter, if Bay gets hot, Bay’s gonna get hot it won’t matter if it’s against American League or National league hitting. He’s played most of his career outside of 1 1/2 years in Boston, in the National League. Bay is one of the most streakiest hitters in the game when he’s hot he’s nearly impossible to get out, but when he’s bad he’s really bad. The problem and solutions rest in Bay, pitching has nothing to do with it.

It’s not a question of rooting for him. We’re all rooting for him. It’s just a reasonable question given his low level of productivity so far.

To me he’s played a LOT better in LF than I expected, not that I thought he was going to be bad but he’s actually pretty decent. He also hasn’t clogged the lineup up because even though he hasn’t really hit, at least he’s helping turn it over by getting OB and not being an out every time up. He’s also grabbing a base here and there and not being a drag on the team but at 66M and a #2 draft pick (who is killing it for Boston right now, Bryce Brentz 13 doubles, 13 HR’s so far this year just promoted to A+) C’mon. We need a little more than that.

One thing about Bay’s Hr’s so far in his Met career is that either he gets a guy twice in one game (Nolasco, Sabathia, almost Outman) or someone else gets him in the same game (Millwood-Carter and Wright, Norris-Fern,)

The only stand alone HR’s he’s hit as a Met has been against Barry Enright who’s no stranger to giving up the long ball and Kuroda. He’s also homered in such diverse places as Oriole Park, Puerto Rico, Houston and Citi Field and many of them have been labeled by hittrackeronline.com as “just enoughs” or “lucky.”

Personally I would prefer having Bryce Brentz at St. Lucie so perhaps we could someday get off this disapointing free agent merry go round that not only costs us potential solutions in the future but hamstrings the payroll, clogs up the roster and flat out costs us wins in the present.

You would think that a decent talent evaluating GM or scouting dept could at the very least come up with someone who had some future in front of them and could do at least as well for league minimum. Then we wouldn’t be talking about potential landing spots for Jose Reyes.

Well that’s true. I have noticed that he always is trying as hard as he can, he really wants to do well and is doing everything he can to do so, but the fact of the matter is he still needs to produce, and I am saying that do not start to believe that he will be a reliable source of production until we see some better numbers when not in interleague play.

well i don’t care what anybody says I’m still rooting for this guy, he’s a class act and frankly if we’re going to do something we need him so he’s not going anywhere anytime soon so he’ll be in that lineup.
