Comments on: Enough Already, It’s Time To See The Kids http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/08/enough-already-its-time-to-see-the-kids.html Thu, 23 May 2013 00:45:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: hotstreak http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/08/enough-already-its-time-to-see-the-kids.html#comment-274289 hotstreak Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:44:15 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=93729#comment-274289 His 2013 option is invalid to any other team. If we do not sign him in the off season he is a FA 2014. Again we can not trade him at this point because his option for 2013 is only for the NY Mets. As a trade deadline rental in 2013 is the only leverage we have.

From what I’ve read about the condition, Gee should be fine.

Think of the typical rookie mistakes that so many kids make. Let’s let them use up a few during this waste of a year. Maybe next year they’ll be that much more mentally prepared.
Plus, I don’t need to see Thole, Young, Torres, or ANY of the bullpen again this year.

I only watch Mets games now is to see if Matt Harvey progress,if Tejada can be stable, Davis can get it back. Truefully I hope the Mets don’t bring back Wright do we really need to see our BEST player take a month or two off every season. We should trade him in the off season for a couple true Outfielf prospect let Wilmer come up and play

The real question is why are we starting players who have or may not have a place here in 2013?

Why are we starting Torres still?
Why are we NOT starting Shoppach more to get a read on if he should be kept for 2013?
Why do we keep sitting Ike Davis when he is finally hitting to his average in the month of August?
Why are we not giving Murphy all the time at 2B where he can get experience, improve the glove towards next year?
Why is Ramon Ramirez still on the active roster?
What do we hope to accomplish throwing Acosta and Parnell out there?

It all goes back to what I have been saying about the FO’s plan….

The plan is to WAIT for something to happen and they will keep using what they have until someone falls from the sky that changes that!

We should be actively trading and looking to make space on the 40 man which is a mess right now.
We should be using every game from now till the season is over to audition and start only players who will be here in 2013.

The longer they wait for things to get better just means the longer they will have to wait before the fans come back to the stands so they can work without budget constraints.

And I fear what is more likely is the Fans will simply OUT WAIT the waiters until they gte fired and someone new comes in to re-build the team who is a little more proactive.

Obviously Gee is a bigger question mark though.

If Santana indeed is put on the dl I am glad to see him get a chance and called up.

He might figure into the starting rotation at some point next year.

Are you assuming Gee won’t be ready or won’t be back?

If Johan is healthy to start the season I’m thinking the starting rotation going in is:

Dickey
Johan
Niese
Harvey
Gee

with Wheeler waiting in the wings.

Then we have Bay and Torres who should not be here next year.

Starting pitching wise, Young and Hefner are not the answer either, so we need to see what we have for next year in at least two spots.

He is not ready for MLB pitching yet.

We’re not getting to .500 this year. Go with the paper bags. At least they’ll hide you from the horrific truth.

And what would be more delightful to a Mets fan than to lose 3/4 to the Rockies and then get spanked by the 39-84 Houston Astros.

I got an idea for a promotion this weekend. Mr. Met paper bags.

You want to see more kids. At this point the only thing the Mets are playing for is to be a spoiler and like Joe D mentioned the other day trying to get to .500.

There really is no need to keep Duda down. Call him back up and at least allow him to finish the season at the Bigs on a good note. Same for Capt Kirk when and if he is able to play in games again before the season is over. I don’t think they will dfa people to do this but once Sept 1 rolls around they should be up and playing.

You know what I did last night? I tuned into America’s Got Talent. Isn’t it a shame that you have to turn to Howard Stern, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandell for entertainment when the guys at Citi Field can’t get out of their own way?

I agree with you. I don’t want to see Chris Young any more. It’s always the same crap. Pitch 5 brilliant innings then get hammered in the 6th.

It’s boring, it’s futile, it’s agonizing. Enough already.

Fred Wilpon, sell the f..kin team already. I’m tired of hearing about your mess with Bernie Madoff. I’ve got my own problems. And while your at it, take Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins with you. LOSERS.

Either developed enough to be ready for the finishing touches of MLB, or recoverred enough physically from injury to not have to be babied.

and 9/1 is traditionally when you will see the next wave of prospects getting their initiation.

I will say that at this point, Duda needs to be back up and playing LF every day. And you are about to see mchugh (the most logical and deserving replacement) in the rotation, and I highly suspect Mejia for some starts in September. So you will be getting your wish.

other than that, Dekker has been pretty rough until very recently, so bringing him up does not seem that it will serve anyone well (him or the team) just yet. Other than that, the positional prospects are just not there. maybe a few more pen arms to try out.

As far as the everyday players…there is nothing to be excited about. I occasionally tuned in to see Valdys at bats but he has been subpar…like Mitch said only when nothing else is on.

Bring up the freaking kids
