But really, barring injury or trade of current projected rotation, the Mets already have their starting five which leaves Young on the outside looking in.

They also want to bring back Pelfrey which they may not be able to do given his agent is Boras. 7 legit, experienced starting pitchers provides good depth from team standpoint, but from player standpoint, the math just doesn’t work.

I believe he will get a multi-year deal based on his power and clutch hitting, with the possibility of being everyday player, It’s good bet the Mets would prefer to offer 1-year, and given his defensive liabilities, I don’t blame them.

That said, Hairston is an asset beyond what he does or doesn’t do on the field, which is also why they value him. He’s class act. But do the pros outweigh the cons – that’s the broader issue overall the Mets must ponder and likely are.

I wish these players well, but they were not top of the line players. I like that Sandy gave Young a chance, but why wouldn’t he have a team option on a second year? Most of these “value signings” don’t work out. If they do the player walks. What is the purpose?

As far as trading him goes? Scott would never bring back a top prospect or even a pretty good arm. You’re looking at a jefry Marte type prospect if you’re lucky and id rather have scott in the lineup instead.

Now, if you’re beef is about not trading Reyes…then count me in, that was and is still the biggest mistake this team has made since sandy became the general manager. But, at the all star breal back then, if he’d traded him, the fans would have went balistic! I bet the Wilpons told him to hold onto him.

which shows why u responded to Maniac in less than an hour…

lol

u could just admit u were wrong and Sandy failed.

On a brighter note, I hope u are well

Spend less time calling people on the internet names and trying to flex your internet muscles about scott friggin hairston, and go help somebody instead.

By the way, the greatest thing George Steinbrenner ever did was he never bragged about how much $ he donated to charity. He said that if you brag about how much you donate to charity, then you’re donating for the wrong reasons.

“My charitable deductions on my 1040 is probably more than your paycheck.”

That says it all.

Just walk away Maniac, you want to start a flame war about a 4th OF being signed a few weeks from now – go ahead.

But maybe lets give it a week or so before we start trashing other users again who may or may not be dealing with more issues than you.

Dont presume to know who was has or hasnt helped people in need. Just to support this site in it’s time of need I gave $500 to help, and I’ve give much more on a regular basis to my church the DAV and AHA. My charitable deductions on my 1040 is probably more than your paycheck.

Now lets talk Mets whenever you’re ready. Alderson was a fool for not trading Hairston when teams were hard up for him right?

If I did say anything, it’s called an opposing opinion, not “getting digs”

“Next time keep your nose out of business so you wont get called out when things go as I predicted they would.”

My business, are you kidding me with that childish comment? This is a blog, people posts opinions. You need to get over yourself. Again, PROVE that I every even had a conversation with you about this, frankly I don’t remember (but remember a conversation I had with you about anything Mets related is not one worth retaining)

“And please have some respect under these terrible circumstances and dont take things to the gutter.” ARE YOU FRIGGEN SERIOUS? You are the first to post and call me out of a differing opinion I may or may have not made weeks ago and you think you are owned an apology during a time when talking about the Mets or a discussion I had weeks ago is the last thing on my mind or a priority in life?

My God you can’t make this BS up. Here’s an idea, instead of fishing for a pretend apology, pound your chest about something the may have been said, go volunteer somewhere, go buy supplies for those that don’t have, go to the hospital give blood, just do something.

THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT in the grand scheme of things.

First off, hope you and your loved ones are OK and did not suffer with much property damage.

I do wish to add to your thoughts about attacking others – especially in light of what we just all went through. Those who do attack also leave an intimidating affect on others who in the future wish to voice certain sentiments but become hesitant to because they do not want to be again subjected to the humiliation by others. In this light, they are actually curtailing the freedom of speech and exchange of opinions even on a subject so unimportant in the scheme of things – a baseball team.

I know this has caused me to think twice before saying things about the Citi Field experience because of the put downs.

Let us hope everyone now puts things into proper perspective and just agree to disagree in a friendly manner.

Your post provoking Kay only proves that you are not one of those people, further proven by your desperate need for Kay to reply “you were right.” Wow, Met Maniac was right about Scott Hairston a 4th OF. Wah-friggin-hoo.

“Next time keep your nose out of business so you wont get called out when things go as I predicted they would”

“Keep dreaming Alice I said, you’ll get to Wonderland.”

lead to the irony of this statement by you:

“And please have some respect under these terrible circumstances and dont take things to the gutter.”

Do you even know what Kay’s situation is post-Sandy? I don’t, nor do I know yours. Calling individuals out because Scott Hairston hit free agency? You want Kay to drop everything and say she was wrong about Hairston’s contract? Really? The times when you’ve been wrong have you run to MMO to say “hey I was wrong.” Have a little class next time…

oh and don’t bother replying to me with anything else except maybe “haha you’re right Jessep.”

You have become the epitome of a classless low life with no life, sad an pathetic.

Who really gives a rats arse……….

His 2011 stats werent anything to drool over.
