If you want to state an opinion, one that I dunno actually has merit or value go ahead. We don’t have to agree but ALL you do here is reply specific to other posters and your views of THEM and not the Mets or situations the Mets are dealing with.

It’s getting old.

So, ya, there’s your process.

If you want to get things, you have to give up some pieces. Which is why you hear names like Murphy mentioned when people want to make trades. You have to give up something useful to get back something worthwhile. It’s the nature of the beast.

The offseason is where the work really begins. Tejada and Wright are the only everyday players who you can say deserve to be penciled in for 2013. Murphy has a great bat, but his diminished power numbers and lack of a defensive position hurt his value, especially on a team that doesn’t have power elsewhere and is in the National League. I like Murphy, and he has improved defensively, but does that make him an everyday 2nd basemen? I can’t honestly say yes with conviction. Ike has a pathetic batting average and isn’t producing power as was hoped. Also, I don’t see the great defense that so many people lauded. Is he the long term answer there? Again, I can’t say yes with conviction. So, where do we go from here?

Free agency can offer some solutions, but who knows the true financial state of this team? I would hope that it will improve with the court decision from the beginning of the season, but the only way to really tell will be once the season ends and the team gets to work. We obviously need a few pieces in the bullpen, a starter or two, a whole new outfield, a catcher, and first base and second base are open as far as I am concerned as well. Not saying we can’t consider players we have in house, but thought needs to be put into the positions as well.

Another thing this team needs to do is stop platooning everybody, mostly the young guys. The only way to find out if they are true pieces for the future is if they can produce everyday, no matter if a righty or lefty is pitching. I’m not saying you can’t have platoons. But let’s see if Spin, Kirk, Murphy can hack it on an everyday basis. Right now, I don’t know at all. And frankly, it’s infuriating.

In regards to first base, that’s also Duda’s natural position. Maybe if he’s more comfortable somewhere defensively his offense will benefit, might be something to consider moving forward depending our the Ike outlook is.

Either way, I’m getting away from the original point. Yes, the team is not one or two moves away from being a lock for anything. Yes, improvements can be made to start on some of the perceived deficiencies in the team. However, I don’t feel that now is an optimal time to address them due to the climate of the league. Though obviously I would hope they are taking a chance and looking into available opportunities at all times and judging the pros and cons of any offer they intend to make based on the long term goals of sustainability and success.

That’s the only thing I wanted to point out in regards to your comment. The rest, I can see.

“We’ll field all proposals and conversations. You never know. But I would be surprised if anything happens in the offseason, either.”

“We’re in no hurry to move this guy — nor do we think we need to,” Hall said. “Everybody in this organization is open for discussion and conversation, including Justin Upton. If people call, we’re going to listen. We’ve had a lot of people call, and we’ve said, ‘No thank you’ to all of them. That hasn’t changed.”

I read an article about Snooki getting booed earlier today and SOMEHOW, people are calling Met fans “classless” for “booing a pregnant woman”. This is Snooki, dumbasses! The same Snooki who went “Ewwwww” at her own child, so spare me the “classless” BS. Jersey Shore in general is a disgrace! She’s a stupid broad who has no business whatsoever for reproducing. She’s embarrassing to me to represent the Mets as much as that slob Chris Christie.
