Cheapskates.

He is interested in signing a family of Squirrels to a 5 year 50 Million dollar contract instead!

But only if he can find one with a high OFP (On Field Percentage!)
Podesta is running the numbers on that now!

General Managers who want to win titles think like that. I love the idea of paying Reyes less during his 1st year and more as more money comes off the books. Hopefully if Reyes truly wants to stay here he would be open to that as well.

You’re right, this team again has a decent nucleus to try and win with in 2012!

We’ve got good, young, homegrown talent all over the field. Last year we were hanging around, still in contention when we traded K-Rod and Beltran. Johan coming back should help next year. If we add a decent, reasonable starter or two (maybe Mark Buehrle, Paul Maholm, Joel Piniero, Brandon McCarthy) and shore up our bullpen (Bell or Broxton), could we not contend next year??

I know Reyes is gonna be expensive, but don’t we have a lot of money coming off the books? Couldn’t they arrange the contract so the bulk of his money is in years 2,3 or 4, buying the Wilpons time to settle their current problems? Just don’t think this team is as far away as people think… On July 1, the WORLD CHAMPION CARDINALS, had 4 more wins than the Mets.

If Davis can fulfill the potential he shows and Tejada as well then add Reyes rebounding back to the form of 2005-2008 and putting All-Star back2back years together then have Wright rebound and do the same as well. I would love to see what that infield could do.

All are homegrown talents and still relatively young. Could we not win with that infield??? Why would we even think about breaking them up by shipping off Wright and letting Reyes walk ? We need pitching. If we let our infield go, and improve our pitching what have we accomplished? We are simply are simply switching our strengths and weaknesses. Great, now will have improved pitching with no offense. Players like Reyes do not come along very often. SIGN HIM. And the talk of trading Wright is pure nonsense. The guy is 28, a 5 time all-star, and averages .300, 27 HRs and 106 RBIs a year. You do not make your team better by trading away players like that.

Of course he had on chance on short flys then. He drove Manny Acta nuts.

Doing it in back to back innings just takes them to a new level.

For all the PS HRs, cruz cost them the title in the end.

What memories. Everybody cried when we traded our #1 prospects for Church and Schneider. Theh the sabers revolted when we traded Church (who was later released) to the Braves for Francoure. Those were the good old days.

Everyone at some point have feet of clay. Even Albert, who had one super tremendous game but was mediocre in the field and showed some questionable decisions.

This series played out in front of millions and it was great, foibles and all.

LET’S GO METS!!!!!!

If they Sign Reyes…extend Wright at the end of the year if he’s doing good. Wait for 2013 to compete…

either way should be an interesting winter.

I hope Jose comes back, but the final word is his — just as it should be.

Now that baseball season is over, it’s time to catch up on some much needed sleep. Wake me up in February when pitchers and catchers and a shortstop not named Jose Reyes report.
