That’s because Tampa isn’t a match. They need bats.

Why would the Rays do this? It is only 1 year of Dickey on the cheap. After than, he’s gonna get expensive. Why would they trade controllable talent? And, they have a major strength in their SP and need positional players. And the only chips we have are Ike or Wright, and we aren’t trading Ike and they seem to have a decent 3B themselves. I don’t see TB as a match at all.

You’re on to something there, Rich. I was thinking the same thing recently, but with a bigger package that will give us Hellickson as well.

In a trade for Trumbo,Wright wouldn’t need to be traded,considering Dickey’s current value heavily outweighs Trumbo.

Looking for a young power hitter. And so are about 25 other teams. Nothing to see here.

I don’t like Upton’s road splits. He’s in a very hitter friendly park and his numbers take a much larger than usual dip when he’s away.

This search for a RH power hitter is why I keep bringing up Trumbo. If they could somehow add a young power hitting RH to the lineup it looks MUCH better. IF they trade Wright it is a necessity to get a guy like Trumbo and then some.

Could be called multi-tasking. Could be called “yeah, I probably should be working…” Either way, beats the snot out of just copying and pasting the same Sandy-rants.

TX, I bet it would blow some people on here’s mind that we are actually carrying on two different conversations on two different blogs at the same time. You know some here aren’t aware of multitasking.

Oh yeah, I have already sent that to Sandy about 1,006 times. No luck so far.

Oh, my bad. Thought you were saying Dickey for Andrus, as I think you’ve mentioned that before once or 3 times.

By: TRS86

TRS86 — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:50:07 +0000

Huh? I was saying that Upton will get traded for Andrus. Makes too much sense for both teams once Hamilton leaves Texas.

NJ it’s his dang defense though. I only hope he can play an acceptable LF because he was awful in RF.

Which I would take!

For my part I haven’t given up on Duda not his bat at least. I think Duda can still hit for power and average and with Bay gone they can hide his lack of defense in LF as well.

I understand he had a bad 2012 but the player I saw after they traded Beltran in 2011 I think is still there. Duda over his last 52 games in 2011 (49 as a starter) hit .304/BA .386/OBP .514/SLG 9/HR 36/RBI 26/R. That over 162 games would of averaged out to 29/HR 113/RBI 81/R.

If you look at what he put up over 3 seasons at AAA (133 Games) he hit .301/BA. 384/OBP .564/SLG 30/HR 85/RBI 78/R.

The talk it seems suggested that Duda struggled with the mental toughness when it came to believing in himself unlike Davis. How much truth to that is there I don’t know but if true it is something the Mets will need to work on if they truly feel Duda can help them down the road.
