Comments on: If Cubs Eat Most Of Soriano’s Salary, Are The Mets A Fit? http://metsmerizedonline.com/2013/02/if-cubs-eat-most-of-sorianos-salary-are-the-mets-a-fit.html Sun, 19 May 2013 17:59:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: METS62FAN http://metsmerizedonline.com/2013/02/if-cubs-eat-most-of-sorianos-salary-are-the-mets-a-fit.html#comment-365400 METS62FAN Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:40:24 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=108644#comment-365400 PF, WHICH WAS THE LAST TEAM TO CONTEND WITH ONLY PLAYERS OF 1,2Y EXPERIENCE?
HELL EVEN NATS REALIZED IT’S VIRGIN TERRITORY WHEN THEY CHOSE TO GO OVERBOARD ON JAYSON WERTH.
SEATTLE HAS HELD KING FELIX DUE TO REALIZATION THAT A CERTAIN CALIBER OF TALENT MIXED WITH EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED TOFULFILL THEIR DREAMS OF PERENNIAL CONTENTION SO RATHER THAN NEED TO HOPE ONE MAY BE AVAILABLE WHEN ABSOLUTLY NEEDRED THEY CHOSE TO KEEP THE ONE ALREADY IN THEIR LAPS. THE METS WILL EFINITLY REQUIRE A DAVID WRIGHT IN ORDRE TO MEET EXPECTATIONS FROM THEIR RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM, A CAPABLE, LOYAL, CONSERVATIVE ROLE MODEL TYPE IMMUNE TO NY’s TEMPTATIONS.

THAT MY FRIEND IS A COMPLETE PKG THAT IS UNLIKELY TO BE REPLICATED UPON DEMAND. WHILE U BEMOAN THE CURRENT LOT WHILE LOOKING UP RATHER JEALOUSLY @ NATS’ POSITION, DON’T EVER NEGLECT TO ACCOUNT THE PRICE PAID FOR THEIR CURRENT LOFTY CONSIDERATION… 2008 59-102, 2009 59-103 & 2010 69-93 FINISHING DEAD LAST IN ALL 3 SEASONS.

PF, I’VE LONG CONSIDERED OUR ACHILLES HEAL BEING FRED’S MYOPATHY IN NOT WEIGHING HEAVILY CONCERNING QUALITY DEPTH & TOP NOTCH DRAFT TALENTS WORTHY OF LARGE INVESTMENTS PRIOR TO LATEST CBA RESTRICTIONS.

They just clear house completely every couple years which makes no sense. Colorado is different. I like what they have done bringing up and developing their own players. Problem is their pitching has been a disaster, and the good young arms they hoped would develop, never did. So they are a one dimensional team now. The Mets situation is quite different. They haven’t really rebuilt from scratch in ages, and they are at a point now where they have received from very good young talent in deals (like Wheeler), but the process is incomplete. They need to continue down this road, and in 2 years they will be a force in the East. Right now, they are a middle of the road team, with their best players getting older (Wright) and the young guys not ready. Why not just commit to the next 2 years and rebuild and then take a run at it? Makes more sense than continually finishing middle of the pack with no upside ….. no?

His bat from the right side would certainly be a great addition to the lineup and really give it some good balance. I can see them maybe doing it mid-season if Duda isn’t working out, if he hasn’t already been traded.

Fowler plays a ton of games in pitchers parks in the NL west. Then you have handedness, citi it tougher on right-handed hitters than left, Murphy has huge home away splits to the benefit of home, Hariston had the reverse. Batting wise Fowler’s performance would probably level out.

Although he’s not a center-fielder and might be a better fit defensively in right. Maybe Colvin is available.

Why is Colorado shopping him for elite players?

Whoever makes the trade for Dexter Fowler will give up more than they get.

The year before his batting avg was 50 points higher on the road than at home. Also, he had a great August, when they played a bunch of games at home, which may have skewed the numbers. Plus, most players have better numbers at home than on the road. Here is an excerpt from a study that was done on the so called “Coors effect”:

So has the Humidor worked since being implemented before the start of the 2002 season? The answer is yes. The amount of HRs hit now sits with the rest of the MLB Parks that are amongst the top 10 over the last decade.

And maybe, if possible, move David Wright for a package of prospects. Don’t think his value is going up from here, and he would still command a good haul in return. Just sayin’, if I was a Mets fan, that’s what I would want to see happen. Target 2015 as the year to start improving big time.

Last year he hit .300, again at Coors Field. Isn’t it possible he just improved? How can you attribute his rise in BA and OBP to Coors, when he played there all 3 years. Plus, you’re living in the past man, the Coors Filed advantage isn’t anywhere near where it was 10 years ago! If the Mets can get him, they should! He’s a big improvement on what they have now.

With all due respect to Mets fans, they are going nowhere this year. The pitching will be horrendous and the offense mediocre, even with Soriano. Why not just gut the team this year and build towards the next 2 years, when you have Harvey and Wheeler on the mound, and d’Arnaud & Syndergaard et al. up as well. Soriano should go to a contender where he can have 1 or 2 more decent years and then hang it up.

He’s only getting better, and this year the shackles will be off so he will run more. I think your comment on Fowler is wrong.
