I asked if whether the team wins of loses, it’s all Sandy’s team.

Yes or No?

We are in agreement

:-)

Do you agree now?

LOL, you count the full 25-man roster and consider it ALL Sandy’s by now because he’s the one who has either acquired, developed or transitioned (ie, Murphy), or kept all the players by now.

Just like you should count 2006 as all Omar’s team.

But if you say 2013 isn’t all Sandy’s, then you can’t say 2006 is all Omar’s

Talk about twisted pretzels! Just trying to keep you from being the hypocrite you are.

but we’ll call the 2006 mets not Omar’s team because 6 out of 25 players were leftover? even if 2 of those 6 were acquired when he was Asst GM further twisting up your pretzel ?

bwahahahahahah

You lost.

Four key players, without whom the 2006 Mets don’t go to the postseason, were acquired by Omar’s predecessors.

Are you going to keep your blinders on? Or are you going to admit your utter hypocrisy?

damn near ALL the mets in 2013 are guys acquired from 2005-2010 or before

1B – Ike
2B – Murph
SS – Tejada
3B – Wright
C – Buck ( new )
LF – Duda
CF – Den Dekker?
RF – ?? ( new )

thats 6 out of 8

almost the ENTIRE starting pitching staff are guys Sandy ACQUIRED

look at the 2006 mets

1B – Delgado
2B – Valentin
CF – Beltran
RF – Nady / Green
C – Loduca

do we still need to debate this or are you going to further embarass yourself..?

You made it sound like they allocate money to a position first no matter who is there. That is exactly what you said, c’mon man, don’t try that stuff with me. They don’t slot money to a position, they have a budget to work with and you use that budget as smart as you can and if the best player they need for a certain position cost x amount of money and they can afford it and it’s in their best interests as far as COMPETING and WINNING is concerned you do it.

Allotted money for each position beforehand? Sorry. You made that up i don’t care what you do for a living. And your explanation flies in the face of how you said it.

Especially considering all the QS he had last year. Just have to make sure this year’s BP doesn’t blow any lead he’s got going into the late innings.

Do you think they just roll dice or pick salary dollars out of a hat?

Just like any other organization they slot dollars to each position and if they have to overpay for one position they are going to have to be more frugal elsewhere. In my job, I am given a budget for my staff. If I want to overpay for a particular engineer then I can either beg my boss for more money (unlikely) or spend less on other positions. It’s not magic.

The Mets are doing the same thing. They have a certain number allocated to Bourn, for example, and they are either going to get him for that number, get the Wilpons to cough up more money (unlikely) or spend less on another position.

Budgets and fiscal responsibility have come to the Mets. The days of “How much of a premium to do we have to pay you to come to the Mets instead of the Yankees, Carlos” are over. Who knows, it might even work.

Aside from the arrivals of Wheeler and d’Arnaud, here’s some of the stuff I’m gonna be following closely.

-Will the bullpen actually be copasetic for the first time in 4 years? Bullpen depth looks strong from AA on up, but seeing is believing now isn’t it?
-How strong the starting rotation will be (if healthy) and are they able to get that consistency going like they did in late May-June.
-Jordany Valdespin making his presence felt on the major league level once he gets the chance to play everyday
-The transformation of Jon Niese into a 17-game winner
-Matt Harvey. Nuff said.
-Dillon Gee: the forgotten man. Which Gee are we gonna see? The one who really struggled at the start of last season or the one we saw in his last 10 starts?
-Ike Davis having the big season everyone knows he can have
-State of the OF. The best OFs right now on this team are Valdespin, Den Dekker, Cowgill, Nieuwenhuis and Brown in that order. Duda & Bax? Bax should be in AAA with Lagares (who will probably be getting a look in ST) and Duda….well, you know by now how I feel.

That’s how organizations work? They allocate money to position instead of who is at that position? Show me a link. I’ve never heard of that.

So how much money do the Mets have invested in CF? How much do the invest in catching? And so on? This is news to me.

The subject of the post is how Glavine, Reyes, Wright and Feliciano were NOT obtained by Omar. So if you say 2013 is not all Sandy’s team, well then 2006 was not all Omar’s team.

You lost long ago when you refused to answer a simple question.
