and Pujols, Beltre would be manning 1B/3B…not a retired Miguel Tejada and Edwin Encarnacion

the US had 14 All-Stars on their squad….and got beat by a PR team that had 2 ( Molina/Beltran)

the only young OF I see worth it is Stanton, so if ur talking about him than yes, i would trade Flores

But in that scenario, trading for young OF is only 1 piece of the puzzle to profitability, the other half is signing him and buying out his free-agent years ( same as with Ike )

if u trade for young stud now, while ur in ur rebuilding years, and u dont have the money to resign him b/c attendance has dwindled over the years, than u just wasted ur time.

it is notable though that not one prospect that Sandy has drafted or ever traded for is ever on the table for these fantasy trade discussions…

if u could get Stanton for Wheeler and Nimmo, would u do it ?

That was your takeaway from my question? That? Holy holy holy crap. Seriously guy, you have such intense issues.

But to play your game, leave my question alone and just insert any white Sandy player you want in the place of Flores in that example, and then answer the question.

Panteliodis looks like he should cut back on the gyros …

I am still hopeful that Familia can impress the club enough where he can still make the team.

I’m surprised as well that Pants is going to AA, but it’s great to see a southpaw get that jump. I just hope he’ll be less hittable than he was in Savannah. Other than that, he looks promising.

I think they’re going to make him a reliever… Is there any room for him in the triple a rotation?

I’m always hopeful about our Farm kids….
I just don’t rate a GM on them until such time as they make or not make the MLB….
Because they could have the greatest outlook in the Minors and then get to AAA, Get hurt and become a bust!

You should never get TOO excited about a maybe…
Cause the failure rate of prospects is not even as good as a coin flip.

I wish them all well and look forward to eventually seeing them but I sure am not going to base my current happiness about them until such time as they wear an MLB jersey.

Hey Joe….

Remember this the next time someone writes to you and complains that Alex and bayonne always make every thread about Wright…..

Also note that while they complain about it they actually LOVE it when it is brought up because it gives them an opening to do what it is they come here to do….

Badger and Bait posters because the site they normally frequent has scared away anyone they could have their FUN with and had to come here to get thier jollies!

It is the root cause of all the problems here and if you want proof look no further than the Ban counts and who got it and who didn’t when you finally put the screws to the problem!

can you please explain to me what you mean by “Group 2″ starters?? I’ve never in my life heard of such a thing

Anyone who would prefer option B doesn’t classify as a true Mets fan to me. To wish failure on your own team, it’s management, or any of it’s players is indicative of hate and not fandom.

Yes, no doubt Mazzoni to Triple-A now. He could have gone either way but in light of this, he’s a lock for Vegas.

Stanton sold out. It’s called Karma. Hopefully, Stanton will play for the proper squad in 4 years. Congrats to TeamPR for their tremendous gutsy win last night. As the saying goes, “The cream always rises to the top!”

Did you just really write that? The question is answered in the question he wrote.

To net a young OF.

Do you think Murphy is going to bring that back who by the way is a Omar guy also?

Another serious question for Bayonne,JDD, Alex and crew. Which scenario would bring you greater joy.

A – 5 of our pitching prospects become top notch MLB starters and 2 or 3 others plus Flores net us an all star young outfielder among other assets. Plus Nimmo and Cecchini shoot through the system with blow out numbers and produce for the big squad a year or two before expected.

B- none of the prospects pan out whether due to injuries or just disappointing performances

In the case of A, the team is a contender for years to come and Alderson’s strategy proves very successful. In the latter, Alderson’s tenure is generally recognized as lost time and a train wreck.

Which would you prefer? Be totally honest.

Stanton has 2 gamewinning HR’s against the Mets in the past 2 years… ( IN GAMES THAT COUNT )

2011 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utg0dWHcTRw

2012 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZlIiB-nN-k

Captain Clutch in the past 4 seasons has 4 HR in the 9th inning….thats it…and in his entire 9 year career….he has 1 walk-off HR….and that was off Heath Bell in 2008

Stanton in 3 seasons has 8 HR from the 9th / 10th inning on..

6 of the 8 broke a tie and won the game

sorry champ, but when the game is on the line, a manager is going to walk Stanton to get to Wright, not the other way around

Yeah just like the 2006 NLCS. Grow up. It is a meaningless exhibition. If the US wanted to win Verlander, Kershaw, Straaburg and Price would be there instead of Dickey, holland, Vogelsong and Gonzalez. Now mr cover boy has put his Met season in jeopardy,,,,we may not get to 70 wins without him. The guys homers off a journeyman relief pitcher from Italy and all of a sudden he is a hero. A joke
