Yeah, I know... NY was on the verge of getting a new stadium before 9/11... I'd like to see a new stadium though... KeySpan Field, where the Cyclones play, is really nice.

Re: Delgado NOT going to be a Met..
Originally posted by knicks69How old is David Wright? Look at his numbers in limited playing time. He should only get better. Look at Beltrans on Base %. How old is Alfonseca?
I sure would not want him as my closer. Ben Howard has proven nothing other then he throws hard. Who do you root for? The Yanks?
Beltrans OPB, and his OPS aren't that impressive.. Like I said good player, not good enough to carry an offense up to this point in his career.
What does age have to do with if a guy can close or not. There's no reason to believe Mota or Alfonseca can't close out games. And how many games have you seen Ben Howard pitch?
You said David Wright has more potential than Mike Lowell. Based on 260 AB's and Lowell's recent performance that's impossible to say. Go look up guys like Kevin Maas for people who look like big time hitters after 250 ab's and the fall off the map. Wright might be the next George Brett, but to declare him better than Mike Lowell after 250 ab's is stupid.
Like I said, I can't see how you could possibly say with certainty the Mets are more of a playoff contender than the Marlins. Or anyone else out there at this point. The Mets have as many questions as anyone..Last edited by bkrich83; 01-24-2005, 04:11 PM.Comment

Re: Delgado NOT going to be a Met..
Originally posted by DuffysCliffIt's not like David Wright flew under the radar in the minors and just got lucky in his first year though, he's been a big prospect for a while. Along with those 250 bats, you can look at his minor league numbers too to judge just how good he will be. Sure lots of great prospects do well in the minors, then just totally flop in the majors, but judging by the numbers he put up in 2004, and the numbers he put up in the minors, its safe to say, barring injury, he's going to be pretty good.Comment

When is the last time he saved 20 games? In regards to Howard I have seen him pitch several times as I have the MLB Pass. I also get Baseball America
which covers the Minors and Majors. He has an above average fastball and a fair cutter. He has had controll problems in the past. He is an unknown major leauge talent. Who will win more then 15 games on the Marlins? I bet Pedro will win at leat 15 to 18 games. Lets see if AJ and Josh can get through a whole season. To be fair I think the Braves have the best pitching in the NL East. Also one other thing Shea is considered the worst hitters park in the NL
just imagine how many more Homeruns Wright would hit in Florida.Last edited by knicks69; 01-24-2005, 07:07 PM.Comment

Dimensions
Dolphins Stadium
LF= 330
Power Alley= 385
CF= 434
RF= 345
Shea
LF= 338
Power Alley= 378
CF = 410
RF= 338
It seems to me the the marlins have a bigger park. Also they have the teal monster in LF that is 29 ft high i think.Comment
