Comments on: The Key For The 2012 Mets Is… http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/02/the-key-to-the-2012-mets-is.html Thu, 23 May 2013 11:53:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Fonzie13 http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/02/the-key-to-the-2012-mets-is.html#comment-227474 Fonzie13 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:56:21 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=72305#comment-227474 Are you kidding Extreem? These are the moves that should’ve been made. I can’t believe you think that the HORRENDOUS job that sabergoon Sandy is doing couldn’t have been better if he signed one of theses guys ( SARCASM).

Plus Mike didn’t even each 200 innings last year and has only barely topped 200 innings twice…200.2 in 2008 and 204 in 2010.

Who knows maybe someone would want Baxter or Loewen and we could trade one to get a scrub starter.

There are a couple of intriguing names there. Obviously Vasquez is going to most likely retire and Wakefield is not going to some other teams AAA. Mitre has experience in NY and can pitch out of the pen, Doug Davis is most likely shot. Davies I have always thought there was some potential but he certainly has not shown it.

If you are looking for him to be a top of the rotation or even mid-rotation starter then stop looking and accept him for a back of the rotation guy. When you do that he is actually not bad at all and an asset. Now that being said, if they could trade Bay for Burnett then you could talk about trading Pelfrey.

He’s just about like Dessens, I would not mind him getting the long-man role out of the gates and be that spot starter for now.

I’d love to avoid Batista like the plague….so if the innings aren’t going to Schwinden or a better option, it’ll do more harm then good.

None of the starters had an ERA under 4 other than Dickey. My only beef betting innings on Pelfrey is he is already at “201″. He would have to go 6 2/3 on average to get to 217 innings in 33 starts. If he goes an average of 6 innings, that total is 198.

I didn’t mention the offense in this piece because as important as Jose Reyes was/is, the return of Ike Davis, hopeful maturity of Duda/Murphy, and the possibility that Torres outperforms Pagan, are about scoring aggregate runs, and I believe a full season of Tejada may not be Jose Reyes…but it could be half of him, with hopefully significantly better health.
