Thanks Bayonne. I thought it was appropriate considering Mejia’s identity crisis. Haha

DW has always been our Jeter…minus the consistent play, clutch play, and being surrounded by HOF hitters at all times

‘well, considering Fred did not say anything critical of his GM, there were no nastygram tweets to post.’

This.
I guess I was suppose to find one or make one up for the Coeur crowd here.
Although, don’t know what they expected since it was Fred talking about his team and FO. Not like he was going to bad mouth them to the media.

well, considering Fred did not say anything critical of his GM, there were no nastygram tweets to post.

and frankly, if Fred is supporting the guy, then that pretty much says they are on board with whatever secret organizational plan they are working from.

You make like this is the first time this happened. Every year there are a few players who arrive late because of Visa problems. Plus, with the problems with some of the players from down there in the last few years, perhaps they are taking a closer look. Usually it is resolved within a few days.

“…after taking over as Mets GM…”

Basically, if someone knows what’s going on down there, it’s Alderson.

Let’s keep in mind that prior to taking the Mets GM job, Alderson was hired by MLB to clean up the issues in DR, including the identity fraud issue. I would hope after taking over at Mets GM that he did his homework on his own guys since he’s the one that put in place the system that picked Mejia for random screening in the first place.

Yes I do know that. The passport means you are identified. The visa is issued by US authorities for verification of work place and length of time. Now, if the visa was not given to him then he is not approved to work in the USA. If he’s trying to get one for this year, they would go off of his prior identification. Maybe new evidence was presented to call into question the validity of his identity. I just don’e believe that situation would suddenly arise just before he is to travel to the US. Folks, I wish to disclose that this is all my opinion only. I am not an attorney or an expert in these matters. Nor do I wish to argue with anyone.

but of course you would NEVER paste any tweets critical of Alderson. Very selective of you but that’s to be expected.”

And she NEVER will…. She’s like the treasurer of the We Love Sandy no matter what fan club..

KBurkhardtSNY: To sum up Fred Wilpon: they are free of debt, can improve payroll but will only if it is “appropriate.” He called David Wright “our Jeter.”

It better be appropriate going into 2014.

And how does one determine a valid passport?

In case you didn’t know, there have been some issues with foreign born players and their identities.

To Recap:

Fred once again telling us the sun is coming out tomorrow.
Breaking even financially this season tells me they definitely were not breaking even the past few years – despite what some would have us believe.
