But he’s the one trailing me for the most part lately. If he does fine, i’ll keep calling him out on his BS

All pure second guessing after the fact. His posts are all the same as if they were one constant copy & paste. Making the right moves for that period of time using hindsight makes you look good though even though it means nothing.

in any case, the team will get sold if that starts happening. And logically, once MLB has to step in and the team goes on the block, the creditors will just be on hold until the deal goes through, then they will pick over the carcass that used to be the Wilpons and Sterling Mets.

My wonder though is how it shakes out if the team (and S-M) declares BK? Not the same situation as the Dodgers either. that was the owner personally declaring, this could actually be the team (or more accurately, the corporation that technically owns it, which is not the Wilpons).

Let’s turn to the son, shall we? I am sick of these sons of owners who were born on third base and think they hit a triple. We have the well documented most despised man in baseball running the operation. He can boss people around with no repurcussion. When has this guy ever had to hold a real job in his entire life that depended on his success? Never, that’s when. Yet the COO and head of the operation is more akin and certainly more qualified to possibly be a head of cabbage- what with his education (none) and career pedigree.

When it comes to Fred Wilpon, I feel for him. But for our Mets, this is a more than welcome development. We unfortunately haven’t been blessed with the son of Wellington Mara or even Hal Steinbrenner. An argument can be made that even Jimmy Dolan is far more gregarious and respected than Jeff Wilpon.

SO GET OVER IT. THE METS HAD CHANCES AND THEY LOST! MOVE ON!

This situation influences everything we can or could be able to do and it all comes down to the FO every year attempting to make up for the work left undone, or done poorly 5-10 years beforehand.

It’s not just the 13 1st, 2nd or 3rd round draft choices riding off into the sunset and leaving nothing behind since 1998. It’s also the players those draft picks we didn’t keep could have turned into and it’s also the insistence on adhearing to slot in the later rounds of the draft that has prevented us from infusing the minors with the necessary talent to compete year in and year out.

This is the reason for the constant defficiencies and lack of depth on the roster. No other team in MLB has to re work their entire bench and bullpen every year AND sift through whatever other sources are available for AAA depth and a position player or two.

The best starting pitcher we have developed in the last 25 years is either Pelfrey, Niese or Gee unless you count Kazmir but he started for someone else. The best reliever we’ve developed in the last 25 years is Isringhausen but he didn’t do it for us. After him is Aaron Heilman.

The best position players we’ve developed in the last 25 years are Reyes, Alfonzo, Davis, Ordonez, Wright and Hundley. IFA’s and 1st or 2nd rounders, exactly the picks we’ve been giving away every year in order to attain the modest success we have.

You have to turn good young productive players into other good young productive players, not into guys who retire or turn into salary dumps and leave you starting from scratch again.

We really lucked out when Atlanta signed Glavine or we wouldn’t have Ike here now and maybe Havens later. Hampton turned into Wright and Heilman. Hell Jerry Koosman turned into Jesse Orosco. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have had the money put aside for Reyes, we absolutely should have but most of the picks we give up turn into dust the moment the player we gave away the pick for leaves. The value chain ends and that’s why we have so many “holes to fill” every year.

Guys that we could have selected with picks we gave up would either be up here right now or would have been exchanged for other guys who are on their way up or already here AND prevented us from making yet ANOTHER mistake in free agency. All these free agents were originally drafted or signed as IFA’s and 99% of the time the team that got the best play from them was their original team. 99%!

Now if you insist on giving up your 1st or 2nd round pick every year to correct a talent shortfall in your roster then you absolutely have to go high end in the IFA arena and overslot on later rounds to make up for it or your just going to wind up with too many holes or too many one dimensional maybe’s filling those holes.

Without the ability to outspend our mistakes we’re now forced to make due with whatever is available on the cheap because we’ve had much less true talent entering the system (that remained here) than mostly anyone. Luckilly Minaya did provide some credible talent in the minors but the trick is to ADD to it, not subtract from it or we will forever be held hostage to whoever “we can get” every year to fill in where we’re short and on for another 25 year period where we’re out of it 18 times and among our best seasons will be one’s in which we fell short before the playoffs even began.

I keep imagining Bank of America owning a sizable chunk of a team that plays in Citi Field.

That’s all you ever talk about. Sure the Mets front office lost all those games on the field that could have changed the Mets destiny. You’re excuse making and lack of accountability is the perfect storm of Second Guessing. Everything you say is years after the fact and NEVER based on honesty, only based on your own version of how things SHOULD have been.

And you’ve been proven undisputed liar here too.

It’s like trying to have an rational discussion with an adult while a six year old with cotton candy all over their hands, face and hair is jumping up and down in between the two of you with just one thing on his mind……….more cotton candy.
