I FORONE DON’T COMPREHEND THE CONFUSION OVER MOTIVATION COMMENCING WITH ’02′s VUYOUT OF DOUBLEDAY UNTIL THE ’05 EMPLOYMENT OF OMAR, THE ONLY MISSION POSSIBLE ALLOWED BY OWNERSHIP WAS IMPROVEMENTS MEASURED ONLT BY A MICROMETER. BIGGER NAMES CAUSED CREATION OF BIGGER EXCUSES SUCH AS 25+1 &z BAD BACK CONCERNS.

JUDGE OMAR AS U WILL; BUT NOTYHINGF CAN CHANGE THE OBVIOUS FACT HE MANAGED TO GET WILPONS TO STICK THEIR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND & CONSIDER EXCITING MOVES, RIGHT OR WRONG EVEN OMAR’S BAD MOVES INVOLVED RECOGNIZABLE NAMES(ALOU, FOR EXAMPLE)

FOR ALL THOSE WHO COULDN’T WAIT FOR HIS EXIT; YEA HAVE REAPED WHAT YOU’VE SEWN & YEA WILL HARVEST THE WHIRLWIND OF MEDIOCRITY & DISSOLUTION

For all we know with all the bitching and moaning going on they may think that guys like Niewenhuis,Harvey,Familia,etc… make their way up to the bigs this year and contribute.That could be their thinking in the way they went about this offseason.We just don’t know.So before you give yourself a coronary,let it play out first.

To take THAT away from that and give the credit to the no-name, no-face argument about people getting on base in front of them (it could be 3 pitchers on base for all i care) is criminal and disrespectful to the accomplishments and talents of hitters who are supposed to be your middle of the order power hitters.

Anybody, regardless of level of baseball knowledge, can say you have to get on base. Learning how to hit comes at 5, 6, 7, year olds for a lot of these guys so le’ts get past that.

It’s like – just because any computer program from Word to Pro Tools has File/Save/Save As or Edit/Undo or any other common Menu Bar command that is basically on all softwares – it doesn’t mean you know how to use that software either.

That’s how I see it. Just because you want somebody to get on base or you like to talk about that doesn’t mean you know a thing about baseball.

You list those players under contract like they are supposed to make me think the Mets are a few pieces away from competing so I should be ashamed to accept the fact the Mets would be better of rebuilding, but I feel like it proves my point.

As much as I love him Wright has not been the same player since 2008, Jason Bay by all means appears to be done, R.A. Dickey who is a journey man knuckle baller who is an amazing story and looking like a pretty damn good player but by no means is a franchise changing piece, and really Ramirez? You’re mentioning a setup man in this argument? The only real reason I believe the Mets acquired Ramirez, Rauch, and Francisco is to try and snag a couple of prospects for them, which is a good strategy based on what they have right now.

Then the rest of the guys you mentioned Davis, Duda, Gee, Tejada, and Niese are all young enough where if the Mets could get them signed would set them up to be competitive in 2-4 years from now when they get an influx of talent from the minor leagues, which is exactly what I am suggesting.

What it comes down to is the players on the roster right now have shown they don’t have what it takes to win a World Series so things need to change. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but when it is broke that’s cause for some serious overhaul.

Look at some of the best teams in sports right now with the Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Lions, and Pittsburgh Penguins. The last two are some pretty big market teams and had to go through a few years of irrelevancy while building through the draft and TIMELY free agent signings to become successful and do you really think they’re fans are complaining right now? It would have made no sense for the Rays to sign Johnny Damon 4 years ago which would have been using their money to get the best players available (what you’re suggesting), but doing it last year made perfect sense and was a big boost for their team.

Certainly can debate about who they kept on the 40 man instead, but it is pretty much a guarantee that if martinez wasn’t on the protected roster, or if he had cleared waivers, he would still be in the organization.

What you’re saying is don’t even bother trying to get the most bang for your buck. It’s not worth it, we can’t compete for the W.C.. Yet you already have players under contract like Ike Davis, David Wright, Jason Bay, Lucas Duda, Ruben Tejada, Jon Niese, R. A. Dickey, Ramirez, Dillon Gee, and now Francisco and Rauch. And you just paid for the last 2. So by what you’re saying…..even though they just paid for Francisco & Rauch don’t even bother trying to make the best use of whatever money is left. Just get filler and move on with it cuz it isn’t worth it. That is EXACTLY what you’re saying.

That doesn’t fly in my book and should NEVER fly in anyone’s book. This is about competition and in New York so nothing less than trying to get the best players with the money you have should NEVER be accepted.

This isn’t a team built to compete now so there is no point in trying to. If Sandy wants to pull on Donnie Walsh and wipe the slate clean by trading everyone I won’t be upset because I know there is no one on this roster who will be a difference maker. Granted the Knicks aren’t playing well right now, but they are one or two pieces away from being championship caliber and that is way closer than they were when they signed guys to try and compete like you want Alderson to do.

That’s how it’s become around here.
