Whether he is right or wrong and only time will tell, Sandy Alderson’s plan is to ride the coat tails of Harvey, Wheeler, Niese and hopefully R.A. Dickey. He has some depth there with Gee and Santana hopefully healthy and Chris Young. Add the core of Wright, Davis,and Tejada.and we have moved forward a lot.

Sandy will need to do some patching this coming year and hopefully see Kirk and Lucas mature a bit quicker. He patched the bullpen last year and there were some good moments but on a whole the patching failed.

We were thinking that a .500 season in 2012 was more than possible but if we had won just 7 more games…we would have made it. Yes, Dickey had a great year but Davis slumped badly for almost half a season and Wright with no protection behind him slumped in the second half

I hate the “what if scenario” but I see a bright future for this team!

1. trade one or both of them
2. sign one or both of them
3. let one or both of them go into the season without an extension

It is all speculation. We will know when something gets done. Other than that it is just someone writing that a Met “source” said whatever.

The proper Question to ask is if the team isn’t good enough to win with a Cy Young Pitcher and Annual All Star 3B then why not and what can we do to fix the team so they ARE enough to get to the playoffs?

Too many people looking at what we can’t do with them and saying they are not worth having when in truth it’s the guys they are all planning to keep and use after Wright and Dickey goes that is the REAL problem here!

But with Toronto having Lawrie at 3rd perhaps you can replace Wright with Dickey and if needed add some low level pieces.

I doubt that Toronto is willing to deal D’Arnaud but you never know….

My point is keeping an icon (Is DW in their category?) “NO” has its price of mediocrity.

Don’t we all.
Problem is the reasons some are giving for trading one or both:
- Dickey’s age
- Dickey’s a one trick pony
- Wright’s regressing
- Wright’s lazy and/or choke artist
- Neither are worth the money

..if true, will be the same reasons GMs might not be giving the Mets the boatload of prospects some expect to get.

You can’t state they’re not worth it, then expect to trade either for a high return as if they are.

If your argument is they’re both worth it but what’s the point as we won’t be competing for some years and better to rebuild, then that’s a different argument. One that has some legitimacy.

The truth right now is that no one outside the organization really knows what’s going on. We all have our opinions, and thats all they are….OPINIONS. I think the NY Mets will offer both Wright and Dickey fair contracts after thoroughly considering ALL factors….age, production, durability, injury, how to fill hole if gone…etc. etc. Now I definately don’t think it will as much money as perhaps 1 -3 other teams would be foolish enough to throw at them IF THEY WERE ABLE TO SIGN THEM NOW AS THE METS ARE. That is what’s very important and should be a huge factor for both players to consider because niether can be certain that their performance in the contract year will be as good as 2012.

So I beg to ask – - – what will Wright and Dickey do with the NY Mets?

Reunite David with Jose Reyes

Put David in a division full of hitters parks…in a STUD lineup….

We get back a CF

We get back the catcher of the future and also another solid catching prospect to along with Kevin Pawlecki and Juan Centeno

We finally have a strength in an area that is a major weakness among most teams. we then deal some of these catchers for other positions of need
