2007 New York Mets Discussion

Re: 2007 New York Mets Discussion

That's insane.

On a side note, it sure will piss me off all year to see santana end up in Pinstripes. I would've loved to see him as the Mets ace this year. He would fit in quite well with "Los Mets" too.

well- considering the yanks now will have to cough up roughly $50 mil/year to 2 players if they get Santana, I say "see ya"!!

don't forget, he is also a potential FA after this year... so even if the Mets got him, he could walk away..

Re: 2007 New York Mets Discussion

I know they're def. gonna "PAY TO PLAY" but it's frustrating to see it happen across the Whitestone.

What Isles. This isn't good pickup? Come On! You remember the carefully choiced words from our leaders.

Dear Mets Fan:

All of us at the Mets are bitterly disappointed in failing to achieve our collective goal of building upon last year's success. We did not meet our organization's expectations -- or yours. Everyone at Shea feels the same range of emotions as you -- our loyal fans -- and we know we have let you down. We wanted to thank you for your record-breaking support of our team this year.

Equally important, Ownership will continue its commitment in providing the resources necessary to field a championship team. Omar will be meeting with Ownership shortly to present his plan on addressing our shortcomings so that we can achieve our goal of winning championships in 2008 and beyond.

You deserve better results.

Many thanks again for your record-breaking support.

We figured that out already here. Harry the K, unfortunately, is running on fumes.

LOL @ Phlakes. Does that mean the Mets Phizzled at the end of the season?

Re: 2007 New York Mets Discussion

Im sure this has been posted already but I was reading the NYDailynews online and saw that the Mets might be willing to trade Reyes for Santana (Not straight up of course but he would be included in the package) Might have some relevance in the trade since the Twins traded (or are in the midst of trading) Bartlett their shortstop:

Just wanted to find out if the Mets fans would welcome this trade for Santana.

And then there's the flip side...

“I like going after the big fish, but I can't rob Peter to pay Paul," Omar Minaya said by phone. “I'm not getting rid of Jose Reyes."

Re: 2007 New York Mets Discussion

Mets give up Reyes and we're screwed at short AND on the basepaths.

I actually would love to have Mets management call Boras, offer ARod $350M which he would no doubt run to and play SS then, later in the day trade Reyes to Minny for Santana.

The expression on the face of Boy Georges would be priceless!

I feel you..but like they say in baseball if you want to get alot you have to give alot (Alot being cash, player, or both)

[Pared]

Re: 2007 New York Mets Discussion

I wouldn't be willing to do it. You're giving up a top 3-5 player at his position for someone who pitches maybe 30 games of your season.

That's just me though.

Re: 2007 New York Mets Discussion

No way you trade a young all star everyday player for Santana. I would love Santana and I would be ok in trading anything outside of Reyes, Wright and Beltran for him. Reyes is a no go.
