Comments on: Giancarlo Stanton Blockbuster Trade With NY Mets in the Works? http://metsmerizedonline.com/2013/02/giancarlo-stanton-blockbuster-trade-with-ny-mets-in-the-works.html Wed, 22 May 2013 23:01:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: brit http://metsmerizedonline.com/2013/02/giancarlo-stanton-blockbuster-trade-with-ny-mets-in-the-works.html#comment-372010 brit Mon, 04 Mar 2013 02:17:39 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=109143#comment-372010 Just one question: did Stanton make the Marlins a winner? Answer: No.

Still, it is tempting, but I’m sure this is all a fabrication. And I agree with the other comments that I would rather give up TWO other hot prospects than deal a future ace.

Stanton is already doing it on a major league level – the other two haven’t.

Similar to what happened to poor Dickey when he said similar things on his twitter when guys got traded and then had the GALL to answer a direct question from the Wilpon owned TV network and Employee regarding his contract status that was the main reason why they decided to trade him in the end….

But in Stanton’s defense he was pretty quiet when most of those trades were being made and he waited until the season was over so as not to distract the scraps that were left still playing baseball.

I don’t get the sense he would be all that much of a PR problem for the Mets and while he certainly won’t play the Company Parrot the way Wright does he is not really a guy who is outspoken in the press until the Fire Sale happend….
Which I deem circumstantial….

But your right if he did here what he did there it would be a story for a month! and Cover the backpages for at least a week!

BOTH OF FL’s PAPERS EDITORIALIZED HIM INTO MARTYRDOM @ THE PILLORY HIS UNFETERED COMMENTARY TENDANCIES COULD CERTAINLY RIVAL “THE ROCKER FILES” COMBINE THAT WITH THE THE GIANCARLO/MIKE FLIP/FLOP & THE KID MAY GET GREGG JEFFRIED OUT ON A RAIL REGARDLESS OF HIS PROFICIENCIES THAT MAY SUDDENLY WILT UNDER INESCAOPABLE HARASSMENT. AS GIANCARLO “MIKES” UP FOR A STANTON MONOLOGUE ON WHATEVER SELFISH PERSPECTIVE THE PRESS PULLS HIS STRINGS & PRESSES HIS BUTTONS ON.

ALL IN ALL IT HAS ALL THE EARMARKS OF A TREMENDOUS CLUSTER **** RESULTING IN HIS NEEDING TO CALL WILLIE RANDOLPH FOR PRESS TIPS WHILE ACCEPTING HITTING POINTERS FROM DUDA [LMAO]

And he is already under fire so he doesn’t need a guy like Stanton feeding that fire with fresh Kindling making his life miserable.

Since Stanton on his own isn’t enough to win it is safe to say he will think the way many here thought two years ago…Can’t Win WITH him might as well lose WITHOUT him and maybe what we get back makes people forget.

SINCE STANTON IS ONLY 22 & STILL YRS AWAY FROM ARBITRATION WHY IS HE ON THE BLOCK & NOT BEING BUILT AROUND AS THE LAST REMAINING CROWD PLEASER IN MIAMI? WHAT DOES LORIA SUSPECT THAT WE DO NOT KNOW? IS THIS MAGIC BEANS FOR AN OLD CRIPPLED COW OR THE WINNING LOTTERY #?
EITHER WAY, ONLY IF I BELIEVE THAT WITH STANTON ADDED TO HARVEY OVER A FULL SEASON CAN I MAKE THIS ROSTER A CONTENDER Vs. ATL,PHL,DC! MY ANSWER SIMPLY IS, IMO, STANTON ALONE DOESN’T BRIDGE THE GAP; BUT HARVEY+WHEELER+d’ARNOUD SURELY APPEARS 2 B A MORE PROMISING BRIDGE

TL, PRESUME WE MAKE THAT DEAL AND 2015 HAS A ROTAION OF HARVEY-NIESE-FULMER-SYNDERGARD-GEE FOR EXAMPLE SUPPORTED BY A 3,4,5 OF WRIGHT,DAVIS,STANTON—OR—

WE DON’T JUMP THE TRACKS ABANDONING “THE PLAN” & ENTER ’15 WITH HARVEY-WHEELER-NIESE-SYNDERGAARD-GEE SUPPORTED BY MURPHYDAVIS,WRIGHT IN 3,4,5
AS THIS IS A PRESUMPTION & NOT AN ASSUMPTION, THE RULES DIFFERENTIATING THE 2, PRESCRIBES PRESUMING ALL PLAYERS INVOLVED PERFORM @ THEIR ESTABLISHED NORMS/EXPECTATIONS.
PERHAPS AFTER 162 THE DIFFEERENCE BETWEEN THE 2 CONSIDERATIONS IS NOT AS SIGNIFICANT AS THOUGHT; BUT IN A SHORT, CONSTRICTED PLAYOFF SERIES MY MONEY AS ALWAYS RIDES WITH THE STRONGER STAFF OVER THE STRONGER LINEUP.
WHERE’S YOUR MONEY?

Well, how old is Stanton? 22years old. So am I really just thinking about 2013?

I reckon if there is a stud who is available and some team is stupid enough to trade him then you jump on it.

Sometimes you have to look at it the other way, as some posters have pointed out. If the Mets had Stanton – at 22 – would we trade him for Wheeler and D’Arnaud? I think at least 85% of fans would honestly answer no.

I understand that you want to build up arms on the team. For instance, if I was Toronto and had a 20 game winner who just received the Cy Young – would I trade him for a oft injured minor league catcher and an A pitcher?

So if I was that concerned about building up arms, Dickey would still be on the team.

THAN ! FOR PROVING A TERRIFIC POINT. WHEN RYAN WAS DEALT B4 THE ’72 SEASON DO U REALLY BELIEVE ANYONE SUSPECTED HE COULD EVER BECOME THE NOLAN RYAN THAT DEVELOPED.
CONSIDER THIS, HE WAS REGULARLY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO A CHRONIC BLISTERING PROBLEM THAT HAD BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MORE THAN 2Y AND RYAN HAD JUST POSTED A 1971 SEASON OF: 1W-14L, 3,97ERA, 1.59WHIP

THAT’S JUST IT! U CAN NEVER ACURATELY TELL, FOR CEWRTAIN, THE FRIDRYCHES FROM THE RYANS, OR BETER YET THE KAZMIRS FROM THE SEAVERS YOU ONLY GET GLIMPSES & INKLINGS.

STANTON IS NO GUARANTEE AFTER ONLY A COUPLE OF MLB SEASONS. LONG TIME MET FANS WILL RECALL IT WAS AFTER A COUPLE OF SEASONS SOMEONE MONIKERED JOHN MILNER, “THE HAMMER” AFTER HANK AARON! EVEN AFTER A COUPLE OF SEASONS THEY WERE STILL USING BYE-BYE IN FRONT OF BALBONI IN THE AL SUCH A SORT MLB LIFESPAN AS STANTON HAS EXPERIENCED DOES NOT GET COOPERSTOWN TO COMMISSION OPLAQUE DESIGN, YET.

REMEMBER THIS ISN’T A MERE MLB EXPERIENCED PHENOM, STANTON, FOR A MiLB, TOP 10 PROSPECT; BUT 2 OF THOSE FEW TOP 10 PROSPECTS.
OMG, THAT’S THE DEFINITION OF SHORTSIGHTEDNESS!

MINAYA ALREADY TRIED THE BUY IT APPROACH

NO MET FO SICE THE 60s HAS TRIED THE PATIENT WATER & FERTILIZE METHODS OF HOME AGRICULTURE. EVEN FRANK,’PRAISE, THE LORD’ CASHEN LOST PATIENCE TRYING TO FIRST BUY WINFIELD THEN FOSTER UNTIL FOSTER EVENTUALLY CLOGGEDE THE IMPROVMENT SCALES.

TO ME IT SPELLS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MARLINS’ & METS’ APPROACH OF ONE & DONE WITH STL’S REGULARITY OF MEANINGFULNESS.DESPITE STAR INJURY, AGAINST ALL-ODDS.
TL, CONSIDER THE MISERABLE TRACK RECORDS THESE METS HAVE ESTABLISHED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MEANINGFULNESS OF ’73,’88 & ’00.

IN THE 3 SEASONS AFTER ’73 THE COMBINED RECORD WAS 239-247
IN THE 3 SEASONS AFTER ’88 THE COMBINED RECORD WAS 255-230
IN THE 3 SEASONS AFTER ’00 THE COMBINED RECORD WAS 223-261
THOSE SEASONS BROUGHT 2 FIFTH PLACES, 2 SIXTH[LAST]PLACES, 2 SECONDS & 2 THIRDS. CABISH?

THOSE MISERIES ARE WHAT MAKING DEALS THINKING ONLY OF TODAY’S RESULTS GET YOU., PERSONALLY BEFORE I CHOOSE TO IMPROVE FOR ’13,14 & PERHAPS ’15, I’D PREFER TO ENSURE POSITIVES FOR 2015-2020!

TODAY?
2 STANTONS ADDED DON’T GET U NEAR THE WS! CASE U 4GOT IT’S PITCHING DEPTH THAT WINS PLAYOFF SERIES; NOT BIG FEARED BOPPERS. JUST ASK NYY FANS, EVERYWHERE!

AFTER ONLY A COUPLE OF SEASONS? DON’T FORGET HOW MANY OF THESE POORELY VETTED BY TIME ARE EITHER SHOOTING STARS OR, WORSE SUPERNOVAS!

WITH HIS TENDANCY TO BE A TAD FREE & WRECKLESS WITH HIS TWEET FINGERS GIANCARLO, MIKE OE WHOMEVER HE TRULY IS WILL BE A HUGE TARGET FOR THE VAMPIRIC NY PRESS CORPS AND,IMO, HE’S MORE LIKELY TO IMPLODE OR EXPLODE EXPODENTIALLY!

Yeah – I’d rather have Stanton and D’Arnaud as cornerstones. (Hell, since you brought Reyes up, I’d rather have Jose as one of the cornerstones too).

All I’m saying is that if Stanton is available for Wheeler and D’Armaud and only for those two, I would make the deal.

It doesn’t mean that I don’t want D’Armaud or Wheeler – it’s just that I think that Stanton is more valuable right now than the two of them.

That said, I don’t think there is anyway the Marlins make this deal. I think this RotoExperts guy does not have good information. Maybe this idea was discussed, but the Marlins can get more for Stanton than this from a team outside their division.

But that’s a pretty ambitious projection.
