“Yep the other 29 teams do!”

What are they and how do you know?

Yep the other 29 teams do!

Now you going to mentionthese guys who you say are worth signing or are you going to admit you can’t name EVEN ONE!

Oh, all 29 teams have offers on the table? And only the Mets don’t?

I love how that bar keeps moving.

“The Mets aren’t signing any of the big players!” “No one is, really”

“The Mets aren’t signing anyone” “Only a handful of teams have, and those are mostly role players”

“The Mets have no offers out there and everyone else does!”

by the way, how was Milwaukee? You were there, right? At the GM meetings? Or you have highly placed sources on all the teams. Are you really Buster Olney being a pretentious troll?

Because otherwise, you’d be talking out of your nether regions. Again.

Yeah 29 of them have made moves or have offers on the table…

Only one doesn’t!

I wonder who that is?

Whats the matter your the one who said there were guys out there actually worth signing
So tell us who? Or do you suggest there is NO ONE worth signing?

Go ahead and expose how happy you would be if we didn’t sign anyone!
All your posts are just an attempt to sell Sandy’s lie that he is actually planning on signing someone good!

There are 30 others guys you should probably pose your questions to.

By: Metsie

Metsie — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:53:31 +0000

Then it should be easy to name guys who are worth it since they haven’t signed yet?

What does YOUR spreadsheet tell you is the UNDERVALUED Player?
Where is all this DEEP STATISTICAL analysis that is supposed to tell the Mets who we can get on the cheap?
And where is the offer for any of these guys?

I don’t know, because the wave of signings hasn’t started yet. Broxton and Cuddyer are in the top 5 of players signed so far. That should tell you something.

Metsie — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:38:59 +0000

Yeah name the names at 1-3 Mil per who are out there Donal!

I’m sure everyone of them sucks or is more of an injury risk than Reyes!

Or, they can wait until there are guys actually worth it out there. Also, salary has been actually cut back from last season, so $60 million or whatever is not available.

Seriously, people are rending garments over the fact that an out of shape former close and Henry Blanco have signed with other teams.

Well what else is it good for? Putting into Jeffies Trust Fund?

Shouldn’t it be used to make a better team so that attendance goes up and solves the financial issue as opposed to squandering it on crap like Crapuano and Crapasco who do nothing about the attendance.

Wouldn’t one GOOD RP be better than 4 bad ones?

Should read “Can’t blow the ball by batters”

By: Donal

Donal — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:50:36 +0000

Ya, there are roster spots to fill. That Broxton deal isn’t that bad, but are we really crying over it?

There are plenty of relievers out there. Are we really going to curse Alderson every time some journeyman role player gets signed?

I’m more upset about missing out on Jose Molina than Johnathon Broxton.

By: NJstuckinTX

NJstuckinTX — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:50:17 +0000

He used too. No more though. And he’s coming off surgery. He was very good when he threw 100 MPH. Now he’s a fat man that can blow the ball by batters anymore and is lacking control. No thanks, we have one of those in Parnell (minus the fat part).

True. No way Sandy just has no interest in decent players, winning or spending any money. he just works there, and the direction has to be coming from the =owners.

Not to say he would otherwise just blow money on crap, but he would buy something if he could.

$60 million off the book, at least SOME MONEY NEEDS TO BE SPEND, don’t you think!?!?

Petey, we have been trough this, my beef with sandy is the he’s not here to win, he’s here for financial purpose with the teams, yet, his legion of fans think he’s some sort of genius, plus, all he’s done is sign rejects and hope something happen and sell BS to mets fans.

Donal — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:43:17 +0000

So, the money absolutely has to be spent?

By: Alex68

Alex68 — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:42:36 +0000

Ability!?!? doesn’t broxton throw 100 mph and has a killer slider? am i missing something here? or you just looking for a way to defend sandy for not signing this guy?

Alex baby, you know I love ya, but your wrong on this one. You are blaming Alderson when the one’s you really should be blaming for the total mess of a team we root for is the f*cking Wilpons.

By: Pete

Pete — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:38:30 +0000

That’s right Pat, IF they were decent, but the Wilpons are FAR from decent. They are the biggest bunch of self absorbed, and self centered losers to ever have the privalege of owning a major league baseball team. They think their shit don’t stink. This franchise will never be right until we cut out the cancer known as the Wilpon family, may they all roast in hell for a million years. Please, fellow Mets fans, don’t throw your money away on this team, you are only helping to prolong our misery.
