Do a good job with this and many doubts are erased or bring in useless players, like Torres /Ramirez then team will continue Otto thread water.

Wrights numbers with

nobody on base- 296/375/493
runners on- 306/387/520
runners in scoring position- 295/389/486

the red-sox + yankees both do the same thing…

one can say its called becoming a slave to ur own success…

notice the teams with low payrolls and long term success are not in major media markets

the twins…won for years with conservative payrolls, consistent philosophy
the rays…winning for years with conservative payrolls, consistent philosophy
the braves…winning for years with conservative payrolls, consistent philosophy
the cards….winning for years with conservative payrolls, consistent philosophy

the red sox strayed away and it resulted in declining performance for the past 3 seasons…
the dodgers strayed away and it resulted in declining performance…

it can lead to a fascinating discussion on how baseball teams are run as entertainment magnets vs competitive teams…

Every Minority group who has immigrated here has been discriminated against. And as a result they were kept poor, out of work, and it wasn’t until it hit them that they didn’t have to just sit there and take it that they have ever found a place in this country.

#1 – We HAVE established here that this country still has a long way to go haven’t we?

#2 – Latinos are the fastest growing demographic in the USA and lets face facts here they were the biggest supporters of the team from 2005-2011 and the few players who drew them to us have been sent packing. Not a single White guy has been traded and every player traded so far is a spanish speaking individual. But is that because of racism or merely because the team was comprised of mostly latin players and those were the players who were actually playing well enough to be wanted by someone else? White folks who complained about “Los Mets” stopped going. thier motives were probably more racist than the FO’s

#3 – If the FO was actually racist then they would not have signed all the IFAs they did last year and would have signed thier second half of the draft instead.

#4 – If you look at the trades made with Race Blinders you see the much more troubling common denominator about them. It wasn’t race it was that they were the best players we had. Beltran was the best hitter and probably the best OFer we had. K-Rod was the best BP arm we had. Pagan (once Beltran was gone) was the best OFer and only real CF we had left. Reyes was without a doubt the best IF and Leadoff hitter we had. Wright at the time was underperforming and Ike was hurt and unproven. If they were white what would people say about that common denominator I mentioned?

Which takes us back to Wright and his value to the team….
It doesn’t really matter if he is a superstar or not, All Star or not or HOF or not.
Bottomline he IS the BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM!
Maybe that isn’t saying much when you look at the rest of the team but it does say enough!

I keep hearing people talk about trading Wright to rebuild and have yet to hear a single name they are going to get in return that guarantees the team will be better or even make up what Wright brings to the lineup and the field. We have a shortage of RH Power bats and we propose to fix that by trading the last RH power bat we have on the roster?

Are we rebuilding? Or just tearing down the house here?
And if you think we are rebuild when do we start laying the new blocks of the foundation? How many more GOOD players have to leave before we can START this REBUILD?

No one here is rebuilding they are merely tearing down with some weak promise of rebuild after the MAYBES they all want to trade for have proven one way or the other and we know less than 25% of all prospects returned in any BIG CHIP trade actually become a MLB player for more than a year.

If you don’t keep the guys who perform and trade them to fix others who do NOT perform all your doing is taking the few good player you have to build around and turning thier Roster Spot/Position into just another hole you have to fill…

It is the plan of an insane man just desperate for change for the sake of change with no plan on how to change for the better!

Ok, whatever works for u

personally i think that was David’s finest moment in years as a met…I just dont like the double-standards in the media…

thats all

Who was one of Omar’s biggest defenders? And now you are saying that my choosing Wright over Reyes has to do with skin color? You might not be saying it to me directly but accusing Mets fans of doing this on a Mets blog full of diehard fans of ever race is pathetic.

Also, until you actually prove the unclutch comment by defining clutch, that too is a pointless conversation that has already taken too many days on multiple blogs away.

Please don’t do that. As bad as it was for the Irish, it was never what it was for some other groups.

I wasn’t trying to say there is no discrimination or one group has no right to complain.

I’m just pointing out what a stupid comparison Just_Da_Damaja made.

Just hilarious, incredible, and almost too much to even be believed.

Almost.

Keep going everyone, keep making the same points to the same 6–8 people, and keep thinking you may EVER change each others’ minds.

May the Lord bless those with WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much time on their hands.
