Comments on: Where Have All The Shea Stadium Players Gone? http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/02/where-have-all-the-shea-stadium-players-gone.html Fri, 24 May 2013 03:48:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Ed Leyro http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/02/where-have-all-the-shea-stadium-players-gone.html#comment-226071 Ed Leyro Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:40:12 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=71829#comment-226071 And some of the players left over from the Shea days are players that readers of this site have asked to be dealt away. It just shows how much times have changed.

That being said, the old Yankee Stadium closed for business the same year Shea saw its last game. There are still 10 players on the Yankees who played at old Yankee Stadium. (It was 11 until Jorge Posada retired.)

Maybe I was just waxing nostalgic about Shea, but I still feel like the great turnover happened so quickly. If the turnover leads to more wins in the near future, then I’m all for it. I just hope this doesn’t turn into another period like the one the Mets had from 1977-1983. Those were only seven losing seasons, but it seemed like it lasted much longer.

What’s even more wild is that everyone the the remaining Shea players have been mentioned in trade rumors except really Santana. What’s wild is that come July, you could see the Mets move everyone one of these Shea players: Wright (he has the most value), Santana (if he’s healthy he’s tradable as long as A.J. Burnett can get traded, a healthy Santana can as well), Murphy (playing well only ups his trade value, come July Havens and/or Valdespin will be ready), Parnell (power arm that’s easy to fall in love with, struggles that make him easy for a pitching coach to think he can fix).

I say all that to say this…it’s really the start of a new Mets era. I just want some winning memories to be coming soon.

I’ll always miss Shea, it was such a big part of my life and childhood.
