A big mistake if they trade Dickey away.
Why trade away 15 – 20 win pitcher, after all pitching is the name of the game.
Hope they don’t make another blunder like they did with Tom Seaver and they better lock up David Wright

Oops. Meant to say Alderson’s comments yesterday – Thursday.

The fact of the matter is, everything reported cannot be trusted. In my opinion, the only comments that we are justified in trusting, are from Dickey and Alderson.

That said, while I believe RA is forthright in his comments, Alderson has repeatedly shown himself to be untruthful and manipulator. However, if people opt to take his comments as accurate, the onus falls on Alderson if his actions don’t align with his words.

In Alderson’s public comments today, he yet again succeeded in delivering mixed messages saying he’s focusing on signing RA at the same time he’s open to trading him.

espn. it doesn’t look like it was a sure thing. I don’t know where Dickey got his thing, but it looks like he was duped by the management. Will wright sign with the Mets after Dickey is gone? Alderson is tough and ruthless.

Well you kind of deserve it when you report things using only ONE source and without looking for three sources of confirmation befre you rush to print.

Nothing a good course in Journalism Ethics couldn’t solve…

If he bothered to confirm the story he heard he wouldn’t be forced to change it from hour to hour.

I’d think you could ask for that, but settle on JP, Gose and another prospect. Who knows, if d’Arnaud and Gose does it, all the better.

Maybe Cerrone meant his sauces have told him about RA’s demand…

Matt Cerrone and his trusted marinara sauces at it again

I bet it’s killing Cerrone that he cant delete the title of this post right now like he did the one on his site.

Won’t happen. A five year deal makes him untradeable.

It is funny how Matt C pretends that we don’t realize he’s part of the PR team for the Mets.

Ted Lyons pitched very well into his 40′s

Phil Niekro had decent success after he was 43, but he did go down then….but we’re not expecting to keep RAD that long.

Tim Wakefield and Joe Niekro aren’t the best Knuckleball pitchers of all time…Wakefield was never that great, Joe was pretty good, probably top five of the knucklers, we wouldn’t know him if his brother wasn’t Phil.

Eddie Cicotte could have been the best, but it took him a while to figure the pitch out and got kicked out while in his prime.

I think RAD is a pretty solid bet going forward. He’s a very young 37 year old and could throw the best knuckle ball out of all of them. A three year plus should be a relativity safe bet. The reality is, any pitcher is a bad and/or risky investment. They all break down and make much more than they’re worth.

Sadly, a trade may happen…you never know what the hell this Fo is thinking.

I just spoke to one of my sources and they let me know 2013 will be just like the last 2 years.

FYI Me and Cerrone have the same source………..A “Ouija board”

You forgot Hoyt Wilhelm HOFer, pitched till he was 49 (1972) and was effective till he was 47.

So you know, Cerrone deleted the 5 year, 60 million figure he had previously posted and now it says 4 years $50 million from the insiders. That’s why you shouldn’t quote him. He does this all the time and gets called out on it often.

The only reliable source we have at this point is R.A. himself and what he said publicly. I wonder if we put too much into his words.

I concur, He’s is just going to vilify him in public as being overly greedy and ungrateful to the Mets who gave him his big chance. Same Mets PR crap different victim.
