    Sorry I must have missed it, I got here when the thread was already on page 260 or so and skipped through. Thanks.

      Well, since making my trade for Mike Morse, he's been 7/20 (.350 avg) with 3 HRs and 6 RBIs.

      I've been extremely happy with the move so far.

        Hey guys great feedback in the thread. Im looking to start a mets franchise under the condition that they are under new owners and are willing to spend.

        I would like to make them the dodgers of the east.

        My questions is what kind of teams would be willing to make some splash deals like that. I was thinking maybe adding some power bats and solid depth on offense. First Base also. Im willing to take on whatever salary.

        Thanks is advance

          Lucky for the Mets, they have a ton of prospects. "Big names" availible right now include Asdrubal Cabrera, Chase Headley, Alexei Ramirez, and Rickie Weeks. Pitching has alot more options like Samardzija, Shields, Price, and maybe even Lee (although unrealistic due to the same division)

          If you want a big power bat for fairly cheap, Adam Dunn can help you, but there are a few problems with him. 1. He Ks ALOT. 2. He is horrid on defemse and is suited for DH, which obviously wouldn't fit in the NL.

              Assuming there teams are out of the race Cespedes, Kemp, Starlin Castro, Cuddyer, maybe Carlos Gonzalez(but you'd have to give up a ton), theres more but those are the big names that come to mind as being possibly acquires

                Sitting on 60 errors in that span. Also that was his ages 21-30 seasons. Who's to say he'll do better in his age 34 season when he hasn't played defense regularly in 4 years?

                CarGo won't get traded until near the end of his contract.

                  lol errors

                  And doesn't it say something that he was THAT productive even with his bad defense? In LF, even?

                  His 137 wRC+ would fit just fine on any team, preferably at 1B or DH, but teams could get creative.

                    I didn't say he wasn't productive, on offense. Defense isn't that much of a keen role for him, especially in has latter years. But easily one of the main problems with him, strikeouts. Bu he'sseemed to calm down a little from his '04 to '06 seasons.

                      A win is a win. If a player costs a team one win on defense, but provides four wins on offense, then that's a +3 win differential. They aren't weighted. A win is a win. If he outproduces the defense that he takes away, then there's no problem with taking him. And Cameron, the guy has been playing baseball since 2001. Pretty sure he's figure out how to be successful even through striking out.

                        Well of course his offense outweighs his defense, but I'm just saying that he isn't great on defense. Slot him at first, and there you go.

                        Alot of players are successful with high Ks. I'm just saying he does it alot.

                          There were talks between the Mets and Rockies last year with the deal revolving around Wheeler and D'arnaud. I know it isn't likely but if the Mets came to them offering a few of their high end prospect I would think the Rockies at least listen again.

                            They were also talking with the Cardinals on Tulo last year. The Rockies have a fun time toying around with teams.

                              Rickie Weeks would be a nice player to have so i can move some guys around and for depth. What is his Value?

                              Im not really looking for pitching as we are pretty stacked and i feel it is a decent core to build on. The only pitcher i would be interested in Chris Sale and I doubt that possible.

                              Thanks for the feedback

                              i was also thinking with whats going on with Matt Kemp i could swing a deal for him. Im willing to part with granderson and any of my veteran pitchers.

                                Concerning Adam Dunn i like him but i wouldnt want to give up much. What do u think is fair for him? even off the bench its a good bat to pinch hit but he is older so i wont be getting many years out of him.
