Got it! Basically we are getting Rasmus for that package.

That entire interview was a bunch of softballs, which makes sense since it was on Mets.com. I’m glad they got to your question, but I’m pretty sure most fans were expecting Wheeler to be on a similar arc as Harvey last year (at worst) or called up to the majors whenever d’Arnaud comes up June 1st??

Projected guess at a 25 man roster
Ike, Murphy, Tejada, Wright, Duda, Kirk, Cowgill, Brown, Buck, Recker, Turner, Baxter?
Johan, Niese, Harvey, Gee, Marcum
FFF, Lyon, Edgin, Parnell, with lots to pick from to fill out the pen.

Such as who Alex? Again, we have “holes” if you consider those guys as not crap, in RF and Catcher. He addressed catcher. So are you saying he surrounded them with crappy bench players?

You can’t have it both ways, you can’t say you like most of the players on the team and then say he surrounded them with crap. You are only talking about 5 players on a 25 man roster.

Key word…. Filling the team.. he’s surrounded those players with rejects and PO’ss.. What part of that you don’t understand? You see why people called you an alderson shill? You defend the man to no end and now you’re not even bothering to read and assume we right away are talking shyt about the guy. get your head out of his ass…

Yup, I mean all those POS’s like Ike, Murphy, Tejada, Wright, Duda, Niese, Harvey, Johan, Marcum, Gee, Kirk…

You keep saying this but then you also admit its really only a couple of positions that are filled with what you label crap.

I wish this kid all the luck on the world, he’s gonna need it. with alderson filling the team with rejects and PO’ss, all the focus will be on this guy. all the expectations and title talk will be placed on him since we haven’t acquired one major leaguer who can help the ball club.

I’m not ready to give up yet on the Season. IF we get Bourn on our terms ($$$$’s, MLB rule), Duda rebounds, Brown & Cowgil prove worthy platoons, Ike has a great year, our catching is better than yr ago, our up – middle D is ‘good’…our pitching with Marcum is actually good: Niese, Harvey, Marcum, Gee, Santana – Wheeler…and the ‘pen looks better…nope, not giving up…i could see an 85 – 90-win Season. Okay, true, i haven’t woken up yet.

Knowing the wilpons, they will salary dump Johan and keep Marcum to help avoid falling below 70 wins.

Mejia, McHugh.

But both have to be traded first ofcourse.

1 year contract, most likely bait for teams looking for an arm in exchange for additional prospects. All depends on if he stays healthy.

Maybe when marcum is traded. Santanas contract is not tradeable.

What about gee? Do you think him and a prospect could get a respectable outfielder

We’re trading Marcum? Huh? For what reason?

By: Hitman

It makes me wonder, when Johan & Marcum are traded, and Wheeler takes one of the spots, who will occupy the other spot? Are they considering Montero since they’re gonna take a long look at him during camp?

Around the time Johan or Marcum is traded. Make sense.
