Mojo, do you love Dex now at least a little?
-
horsefeathers the whole "the game is filled with smart GMs now" stuff. theo plays chess, everyone else plays checkers.

I'm mildly concerned that that won't be the case. I know we don't give many [expletive], but moving Heyward to CF and Fowler to RF is hard to see. And I'm having a hard time not seeing Fowler start a lot, but who knows. If it were me, he'd be our super 4th OF...and maybe there's room for him to be that and still get everyone enough starts and PAs. In terms of maximizing defense, wouldn't Fowler in LF, Heyward in CF and Soler/Schwarbs in RF probably give us the best defense? Taking Fowler's arm into consideration it probably is, I think. Sounds reasonable to me.

we all thought that about swapping Castro & Russell in the field true, but it took castro sucking donkey nuts and losing his starting job

more succinctly: http://i.imgur.com/c4jt321.png exactly what i was thinking

all of us who have ever laughed at theo's romanticized "people will want to play here so bad" stuff should probably shut up
-
my crusade was against trading soler for "young controllable pitching" and signing fowler to play CF trading coghlan and signing fowler to be part of a 4 headed depth monster in the OF? sign me the horsefeathers up

if he's our 4th OF then i'm more than happy to have him back :D
-
i thought it was funny when bryant was being interviewed last week and said "dex isn't here...at least for now"

i'm relieved i won't have to hear his christian rock walkup music anymore at least
-
can't decide what i'd rather do if i were him on one hand, now he goes from a juggernaut cubs team...there are probably not many better situations to be in as a major league baseball player... to oakland. on the other hand, he's experiencing sort of a career resurgence pretty late and he probably has a much better chance at making some serious money before he has to call it quits by playing everyday there vs being a backup here
-
So Murton is making the team then?
-
He's not a fan of backwards hats either. Can't make this horsefeathers up. [tweet]https://twitter.com/NYPost_Mets/status/702867167813963776[/tweet]

I was just going through the schedule as I put our spreadsheet together to keep track of the tickets at work, and I noticed we have 8 total Bronze games, and 5 of them are against the Reds, which is kinda hilarious.

Theo isn't leaving. And his thing about staying in one place too long specifically referenced 10 years as the amount of time to spend in one place. wasnt it also basically a way to PR-spin the collapse in boston? i dont really take that as anything serious. yes. i doubt he's gonna just up and leave after 10 years if things are good on the field and with ownership

hey, i love me some waffles. i just think eating them without syrup for no good reason is a good litmus test for insanity.

In 2012 he was a 2.9 win player in 129 games. That's kind of an unfair characterization of that season, but whatever. 2013 is really the only year he was a bit underwhelming, at 2.4 in 135 games. 3.3 in 2014 and 6.7 last year. There's a lot more very good than there is MEH. And I do not like him.
-
I believe they are playing him in centerfield...if he's not an unmitigated disaster there defensively, that OPS would be very good. And no, I don't think Cespedes made everyone around him perform better, and if you sincerely think that the mere presence of Cespedes elevated all of those players to the degree that you're saying, I find it hard to believe you're as into advanced stats as you say you are. You realize CF is no worse than a corner OF spot now right? A .770 OPS in CF would be right at average. .770 would've been good for 9th in MLB among qualifying CFers last year.
-
And, again, I'm not arguing in favor of Cespedes as a player. What I'm arguing is that your assessment of value is off and some of the other tangential points regarding the Mets offense last year and next year are wrong.
