Delgado NOT going to be a Met..

Re: Delgado NOT going to be a Met..

Please don't say hat the Marlins have this great starting pitching. AJ Burnett is always hurt. Beckett had one great post season thats it. He did nothing last year. After that Willis is a 500 pitcherat best. Al Lieter is good but fadding fast.
I do love Mota as a setup man. Who is there closer? David Wright has more upside then Mike Lowel. Reyes will be great. If you don't think Beltran is not great you did not see last years NLCS. Who do the Marlins have who is as good of a five tool player? Are you a Marlins fan? The GM for Delgado is full of Sh**. The Mets never pulled out. He also made a stupid comment saying the Orioles wher as good as the Mets and not that far off from contending.
What is he smoking? They have one good starter and did nothing in the off season. Delgado can go to Florida. He is not a team guy. He wants all the lime light. Maybe he can learn some respect and stand for God Bless America! Sometimes the best deals are the ones we don't make. Get Travis Lee and get Mags with an incentive based contract. Move Cameron or Floyd for pitching prospects.

Talking about always hurt, whats up with Reyes? Will he be healthy this year? Everyones teams in the East have question marks.
Can the Braves pitching survive now that Smoltz is outta the pen?
Can the Fish's starters stay healthy?
Can the Mets bullpen be effective?
Can the Phillies starters stay healthy?

If the Marlins get Delgado they will be a better team in my opinion than the Mets.

Re: Delgado NOT going to be a Met..

apparently it seems too that Delgado was going to use the Mets for leverage, & his agent is a jerk - the Mets never knew they were out of it until they heard about it from other sources - the agent never told the mets..

good news mets fans this is as of today
Mets | Hold Everything: Delgado Still In Running? - from www.KFFL.com

Updating previous items, The Bergen Record's Steve Popper and Bob Klapisch report the New York Mets may be the front runner for free-agent 1B Carlos Delgado's services after all. Reports late Sunday, Jan. 23, indicated Delgado's agent had pulled his client out of the running for the New York Mets, but Mets officials told the paper the team and Delgado were still talking.

No I am not a Marlins fan, I could care less about the Marlins or the Mets. And I didn't say the Marlins pitching was great. I said it had the potential to be top notch. And you'd have to be blind to see that it doesn't.

As far as Lowell vs. Wright. Lowell it .295 last year with 27 bombs and 85 RBI, with 30 bombs and 105 RBI the year before. David Wright has 260 AB's. Tough to say he has the potential to do more than that.

I hate to break it to you. A good NLCS does not make a player a great one. Beltran is a very good player. But like I said he's a career .286 hitter who hit .267 last year. He's hit 30 hr's in a season once in his career. Good player, but not good enough to carry an offense.

As far as the Marlins closer. I bet that it will again be Alfonseca who has pitched well in that role in the past. Might even end up being Ben Howard, who has a high 90's fastball, and has gotten better control as of late.

Again I understand you are a Mets homer, but try to stay somewhere near reality.

Re: Delgado NOT going to be a Met..

Oh well..


NEXT!!

Lets get a good defensive 1st basemam and some relief pitching.

Well if you wanted a good defensive 1st basemen, you're a lot better off without Delgado anyway.

Re: Delgado NOT going to be a Met..

Re: Delgado NOT going to be a Met..

Mota should be fine in the closer role.
