And this article/post was about what now?
It got lost in the personal recriminations, insults, get lost posts, personal attacks!

What does this have to do with Wrights press conference today?

I think the Mets getting power in OF or C was mentioned but watching what Giants did to win 2 of 3 last WS they won it with hitters that put the ball in play while all the other teams are trying to hit the ball out of the park.
Look at what happened to Yanks against Detroit and then to Detroit against Giants.

The winning WS team put the ball in play while hitting for power if possible but I can’t remember the last team to lead league or baseball in HR won the WS?

As we all know the pitching gets better in playoffs so each team has a choice to try and get a hit while cutting down on swing or continue to swing for the fences and swing and miss a lot, as shown in the playoffs this year, Yanks, Detroit, Rangers, Orioles, etc.

I hope Mets FO takes into account that finding a power is important for OF, RH especially but to check to see if player is a contact hitter, high avg of batted balls in play.

Not being able to play small ball hurt a lot of playoff teams so I hope Mets can find the balance in whomever they either trade for or sign because as great a signing/trade that might happen if that player flops in playoffs then the wolves will be out to blame all.

Glad to have you retire as a Met David, thanks for structuring your contract to allow Mets to add payroll to win, now lets just pray that this FO can take advantage of this opportunity.

Yeah David!

I love them. Also, I still don’t get the branding. In some places, “Mets” still has a shadow but in others it doesn’t. Take a look at the background behind Wright.

well, based on how the performed and the risk with injuries, Haran is really just replacing Jackson.

As with payroll, you can’t just focus on what came in new, you have to also look at what was lost.

Well… Wilpon has stated in 2014,the payroll is increasing,so this “plan” is true. What will it come to? Who honestly knows.

I was thinking the same thing…that hat is incredibly hot even with the raised embroidery and white trim.

No clue why it took them so long to come out with a color scheme like this

Well, the only reason the Royals are vocal is because they’re under pressure to be relevant this season.

Cool uniform. Although I’d like it better without the white lacing on the cap.

Of course he has a plan. If people would take their heads outta their asses they would realize that there is a plan and he’s not going to send out a memo to the public about it. It’s pretty obvious what the plan is. I’ll give a hint. Expiring contracts on the horizon, player developement. Actually that’s 2.

The plan=Selling high for top shelf guys that will make an impact and surround guys like Davis, Wright, and Tejada. Hence, the talks for Myers.

I think that Sandy has a plan and I’d bet it’s a good one. It’s probably not rocket science to figure out either. Here’s to making the play-offs in 2014! The Mets will likely have the best pitching staff in the league by then. I’ve been a fan for a long time and I can wait.

Jessep don’t waste your time trying to reason with a classless imature lowlife. He’s too dumb to realize what he is.

There might be a plan. It’s not like every other team broadasts exactly what they want to do (except the royals)

Do you guys think there actually is a “plan”?

In order- tell me who has the most to least pressure to win a title in 2013?

Jessep, You are a true Sandy apologist

They snuck in the playoffs lol hogwash we didnt even sniff the playoffs….we couldnt barely sneak over .500 now youre telling me there in as bad a spot as us???

Ha!

When did I ever state having holes wasnt an issue???

What I said was we have MANY holes at numerous positions we should have more of an urgency to fill them…

We dont have any type of Core…There is David Wright then question marks all around the infield and Outfield….The rotation is the only set group that needs minor tinkering….. those playoff teams have core players already locked in all they need to do is add complimentary players…

Players whom they sign as complimentary would be the nucleus of our team.

All this patient talk will lead up to is Sandy saying for the 3rd straight year. That free agents this year were too expensive and they got payed more than we thought they were worth and we werent willing to invest that much. And i would be super surprised if he could fill all these holes with trades…

Who is he gonna trade Dickey, a young Niese and prospects???? I thought we were rebuilding with prospects?

Exactly. This is only going one direction. You will overpay of you won’t sign free agents.
