THE VERY WORST THING WE CAN DO ESP NOW AS WE’RE DELIBERATELY BUI;LDING A 5th PLACE TEAM IS TO RUSH ANY OF OUR TOP PITCHING PROSPECTS 1 THROUGH 10 LET ALONE THESE TOP 3. BE IT GEN K, PELFREY, HEILMAN, MEJIA NIESE, GEE NONE RECEIVED THE MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT ALLOCATION. FORCED LEARNING O.J.T. IS THE SINGLE WORST MISTAKE THIS OWNERSHIP HAS IMPATIENTLY COMMITTED AS THEY KEEP RUSHING THE BEST TO DISAPPOINTMENT.

MY STRONGEST RECOLLECTION OF THIS TYPE OF INSANITY WAS THE NIESE DEBUT AS THEY CLOSED THEIR CUMUALTIVE EYES & SACRIFICED THIS “KID” TO DEBUT AGAINST THE SINGLE MOST DEVASTATING RHH LINEUP IN THE LEAGUE AT THAT TIME
(MILWALKEE) BE IT INTERVIEWS WITH TERRIFIC, DOC, DARLING, OJEDA, THE MOST PROFOUND WEAPON A YOUNG, TALENTED PITCHER GOES TO THE MOUND WITH IS THEIR SELF-CONFIDENCE REPEATEDLY THE METS HAVE CHOSEMN TO PUT DESPERATION AHEAD OF DEVELOPMENT. THE LEAGUE’S BEST FRANCHISE, IMO @ PITCHING DEVELOPMENT, MiLB TO MLB CROSSOVER SUCCESSES IS THE ATLANTA BRAVES WHO NEVER DEBUT A ROOK STARTER IN A PRE-ORDAINED MOST LIKELY LOSING SITUATION. THE ANTITHESIS OF THE BRAVES HAS BEEN THE METS. IMO, WE’D BE IN MUCH BETTER POSITION IF NONE OF OUR TOP 5 PITCHING PROSPECTS ARE SEEN IN FLUSHING B4 2013. ENSURING TYHEM EACH AT LEAST 1 FULL SEASON OF AA,AAA!

Stotyleyer then starts fiddling with him to start throwing three quarters which was unnatural for Doc and bam! There goes the shoulder! He also had Doc lower his leg kick, which helped him generate power and was a key component of his mechanics. I can go on and on about it because it infuriated me then and still does today. It makes me so angry that Stotylmeyer is revered for being a bad pitching coach! He was always handed great pitchers, many of which did not listen to him and had their own routines. Cone, Clemens, Ojeda, Darling, etc. He just happened to always be in the right place at the right time and be working with pitchers who knew what they had to do to win.

The Mets coaching staff has proven to be terrible in the past. They have not been able to develop any super star players with the exception of Reyes and Wright. Ike is still not a star, he has not played enough. Wright has tumbled backwards after working for a couple seasons with HOJO! UGH!

That whole Howard Johnson Batting coach deal was terrible! How can a guy that as a player was always hit or miss, who was strike out or home run be a batting coach. He turned Wright into a mirror image of himself. Meanwhile when wright came up, he was lauded for his great ability as a two strike hitter who could hit the ball the other way with power. Hojo shows up and that is all gone! Wrights swing has been a mess since! Reyes, well the Mets crack medical team or training staff screwed that up for years.

Which surprises me since Dr David Altcheck has always been such a highly respected orthopedist with a high rate of success. I don’t know all the details but, the Mets have become a bumbling franchise with terrible direction since the Wilpons bought out Doubleday. I think the only way this franchise turns around is if they sell the team. Sandy seems like a good baseball executive and he hired his guys to come in and change things here. It’s only been a short time but, unless some players start coming up from the minors, that make an immediate impact his tenure is a failure. Also they have to be players he, and his crack team either drafted or brought it. Not left overs from the Minaya years.

Lastly, it has always upset me that no one, and I mean no one! Has ever called out stotylmeyer for the damage he had done to Doc’s career. Yeah, yeah I know Doc is a drug addict and was then but, still just focusing on that and never mentioning the great crime that was perpetrated on that magical arm of his by bad coaching is a great sin.

I think Harvey is going to be awesome. He has been dominant at all levels and in college where the games actually meant something to players fans and coaches he proved to be a good “pitcher” ,not just a good arm

Familia is awesome. Is there a reason why most scouts feel Latin SP are better fit for the pen? Is it race and the whole ” black quarterback ” issue or is it his delivery and mechanics, which by the way have greatly improved?
I do see Meija as better fit for relief but as a dominant reliever. Wheeler only makes me nervous because the Giants kinda gave up on him by trading him for a rental. They didn’t even resign Beltran this offseason and they still need him.
I do love our pitching prospects and feel like skill wise they are more talented than Generation K ( they were way over hyped just like they over hyped Art Howe who was the worst manger in history. Someone should’ve questioned if either were better suited for the pen. No one could’ve predicted Wilson being a bust I swore he was going to be the next Roger Clemens. Who knew he was another Todd Van Poppel?)

Bottom line the Mets have awesome pitching prospects. It would be a dream come true to see these guys start- Harvey, Familia, Wheeler Niese then one of Gee ,Gorski , Fulmer Mazonni starting and the other a long reliever with Meija closing and Holt Urbina Tapia Verrett in the pen and Leathersich as the 8th inning setup guy/ left handed specialist

Who refers to Wheeler as a savior of this franchise?

Or will you admit that is simply not true?

Twisted is right wow!!

If thing go well, we’ll have a full rotation and a nice bullpen and a few extra pieces to trade over the next few years.

Anyhow, you may be right, at this point we don’t know, but he hasn’t done anything to not “trust”.

I think it’s safe to say, by looking at their WS rotation, the SF Giants know a thing or two about drafting pitching prospects. Putting any Mets mess aside, just the fact that they thought highly of him leads me to believe he’s the real deal.

“but each day it’s looking like a real possibility that Carlos Beltran (the guy we traded our #1 prospect for) is going to land a two or three year deal at a pretty reasonable rate. And when that happens I’m going to have a hard time controlling my fan rage.”
