We have seen this before and the longer the GM’s wait the better leverage they have!

If we had only signed Omar Quinetenwhatever to a MLB deal instead of a MILB deal everyone would be happy.

Even with Scott in there is it is still obviously a very unsettled outfield situation. I accept the fact that the team is giving Kirk the CF job as of now and I am okay with that. If we had Scott in there at least we can have good defense too in either of the corner spots. Maybe 4 million a season for 2 years is a bit high….this would still be a good idea….We must have another RH bat with some pop!

C’mon Sandy…..I have supported most of what you have done under the circumstances that the Wilpon’s created by their mistakes but we need some action here so that our outfield situation is not a total joke!

Maybe we should bid against ourselves because every Met fan seems to love that approach

I’m of the theory that besides trying to pay down the debt, the Madoff scandal, along with the two suicides and tons of bad press has Fred traumatized. I think Jeff has tried to fill the vacuum left by Fred and we all know how anything Jeff touches turns out.

Scary, scary times for our Mets.

And seriously, if Hairston was worth $4 million a year, he’d get it. There are bench players making more than that.

But as a rule, I’ve learned not to react to the negotiating process. Let’s see where this winds up.

But, yeah, sure, no harm in loading bullets into that typewriter. Might need ‘em.

Their SP last night the Leones lefty Kris Johnson pitched real well after he got out of the 1st inning. Spin I believe if I heard the announcers right has the record for the most hits in the Round Robin. He misplayed a ball last night in the 1st but his bat has been on a tear during this Round Robin. I am curious to see if they will play him tonight to see if he can get a hit in every Round Robin game of the series.

They celebrated as if they won the championship..

That’s the thing though, in 2009 didn’t his performance speak exactly to this:
“the mets are only acquiring oft injured or rejects who wanna revived their careers and are willing to take a minimun salary to do so”
Or this
“Rejects, misfits, end of the road, injury rehab type players.’

No not all will be RA, infact 99.9% won’t be. Just saying that this isn’t some new strategy for the Mets to sign tons of scrubs and hope they work out.

You could tell that year with the way they only signed one big name and then crapped out and then didn’t add anything to the team later that money was already becoming a huge issue for the Mets.

What a lucky shot to find Dickey with all the scrubs listed here. One in a million shot

However he let Tom Hicks former owner of Rangers belly up. Again it is the Wilpons and Selig who set this team back.

They did this with Omar here too. Take a look at 2010. Jason Bay and the scrubs.

Signed Alex Cora as a free agent.
Signed Chris Coste as a free agent.
Signed Alejandro Machado as a free agent.
Signed Jesus Feliciano as a free agent.
Signed Russ Adams as a free agent.
Signed Mike Hessman as a free agent.

Sold Carlos Monasterios to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Signed Mike Jacobs as a free agent.

Need I go on?

It was clear then that money was going to be a huge issue for the Mets. They just threw the fans a bone with the Jason Bay signing and spent their entire wad.
