Another Fan Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 2 hours ago, SinceThe70s said: Thanks for posting, gave me a chance to hear the hour plus that I missed. Thoughts on each: VW: I liked his comment that he wouldn't have taken the job if it was a rebuild. He's looking to win now. Polar opposite of Sandy's patient approach, but of course he's benefitting from Sandy's patience. Mickeys Clubhouse: a few times he mentioned making sure players were comfortable where they were playing and batting. Bunch of wishy-washy BS imo. Not a fan of him. Coupon: best comment he made was about needing to change the fans perception of management/ownership's commitment to winning. Said he brought in VW to address that. Great, now open up the purse strings. Yeah that's why I'm thinking that's how VW got the job. He's giving the perception of a type-A personality who will win at all costs. I do think the Wilpons don't like the perception they have amongst Mets fans and to some extent that bothers them. However, like you say see what happens. I mean I'm happy VW wants to spend but hopefully he does it wisely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 So Noah’s name has been floating around now possibly with the Yankees. I know his durability is questionable but I wouldn’t trade him. Speaking of durability Noah is like 6’7” and has about 2% body fat. Yet durability is an issue.

I mean compare someone like Ron Guidry to Thor Fun fact that I may have mentioned before: the Mets and Yankees almost traded Joe Torre for Ron Guidry when Guidry was still a minor leaguer. Torre may have been a player/manager at the time, not sure. The deal broke down when the Yankees insisted on Otto Velez instead of Guidry. Thor to the Yankees would be an abomination. Speculation is the Mets would get Realmuto and Miguel Andujar in the deal. Probably a good baseball deal especially if you expect Thor to breakdown, but there's no way I could stomach Noah in pinstripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the off season the bullpen consisted of Gsellman, Lugo maybe Zamora and a bunch of BP pitchers. I don't see any way that the addition of Familia and the best closer in 2018 doesn't significantly improve a big weakness. I'm not sold on Zamora yet and would still like to add a lefty reliever. But the other added bonus is we may be able to move Lugo into the rotation where I think he belongs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I wanted Realmuto but not at the cost of both Nimmo AND Conforto and certainly not for Syndergaard. I know Ramos has had a history of injuries but he was my next choice and cost the Mets nothing but money. It just came out today that Grandal reportedly turned down a 4 year, $60 miilion deal from the Mets. He would've cost them a draft choice had he signed. That, coupled with the fact that the Dodgers benched him in the WS and let him walk, makes me glad that he spurned the Mets.

ExWNYer Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Mets and Astros apparently talking about a trade involving Seth Lugo with the Mets receiving prospects to restock the farm. If true, this would not make me happy at all. Especially with none of Houston's top prospects likely to be included in a deal and Lugo under team control through 2022. Lugo has been a beast out of the pen and a very good spot starter. For a team that claims to be in "win now" mode, this would be a big mistake by the Mets, IMO. I really like their bullpen having Lugo and Gsellman with Familia leading in to Diaz. They still need a good LOOGY out of the pen. Maybe they can get a decent left-handed RP in a deal for backup C Kevin Plawecki who is also rumored to be on the block and garnering some interest. https://climbingtalshill.com/2018/12/29/astros-working-seth-lugo-trade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm skeptical it will happen, but Britton would be a welcome surprise. Three interesting reliever signings this year: Familia: 3 years, $30 million Andrew Miller: 2 years, $25 million David Robertson: 2 years, $23 million Miller is coming off an injury but I think we'd better off with him over Familia....even though I liked the Familia signing.

Good point about Plawecki's ability to stay on the field, but VW just sent him to Cleveland for two minor leaguers. For my money, Beef-On-Plawecki never did anything exceptional. At least Travis had a great hitting stretch in 2015 and maybe one other shorter stint in between long stays on the DL. Mets also traded three minor leaguers for two to the Astros. I'd be interested if anyone has insight on any of the players in the trade. Mets got a guy named J.D. Davis who led the PCL in batting average last year (.342). My first thought is the guy must have issues of some sort. Trade was Ross Adolph (OF), Luis Santans (IF) and Scott Manea (C) for J.D Davis (IF) and Cody Bohanek (IF).

Trade was Ross Adolph (OF), Luis Santans (IF) and Scott Manea (C) for J.D Davis (IF) and Cody Bohanek (IF). I think they see Travis as more of an athlete, more versatile and able to possibly play elsewhere (OF, 1B). And like you said, he's had stretches where he hits, unlike Plaw. The deal with the Indians for Plawecki netted the Mets RHP Walker Lockett and infielder Sam Haggerty. The Indians traded for Lockett this past November ahead of the Rule V draft. They got him from the Padres who needed room on their 40 man roster. Walker is a big guy who, apparently, doesn't throw hard but uses his sinker to his advantage. He was projected as a possible back end starter as early as 2016 but didn't make it to the majors until 2018. Some think that his upside is higher than his numbers might suggest. He's starting pitcher depth for the organization or could have a role as a possible long man. Here is some analysis on Lockett after his trade from SD to CLE last November: https://www.prospectslive.com/featured-articles/2018/11/21/trade-analysis And this one is 20 months old when he was still a Padres prospect but praises his possible upside: https://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/4/21/15383986/san-diego-padres-prospect-walker-lockett Haggerty is an athletic, switch-hitting infielder with tools who can run and still has options. He might not amount to anything but he's worth keeping an eye on down the line (2020?)...he's listed as a second baseman but he's played some other positions, including some outfield.Could maybe be a backup shortstop. I was hoping they could get a little better return for Plaw...like a serviceable LOOGY for this season...but we'll see how this pans out...eventually. As for the deal with Houston for infielders J.D Davis and Cody Bohanek: The report on Davis is that he's not much of an OFer...too slow but has a good arm. Can play there in a pinch and he's also done a bit of pitching...if he's not terrible at it, he could serve as an 8th relief pitcher which is intriguing. Reportedly has a plus arm which helps him at 3rd. Quick hands but slow feet and average defense...can play 1B but probably doesn't have the bat to play there. He didn't get much chance with the Astros so there is a bit of the unknown as to what he could become. He had bad numbers last year but it was a small sample size so it's still kind of early to judge. He hit .340 in AAA and has been ranked in Houston's 'Top 10' prospects here and there, depending on who you believe. He has five years of control and two options remaining, which is good. He didn't use any options in 2017 but used one last year. There might be some possible starting 3B upside with him or at least a righty platoon to pair with McNeil, if McNeil moves to 3rd. Astros GM, Jeff Luhnow, said that they were not planning to part with J.D. Davis but "there was enough of a market for him that we decided to go ahead and explore it because there's no obvious spot for him on our 25-man roster next year, at this point. The Mets were aggressive." He called C Scott Manea "a key piece" to the deal for the Astros who needed catching help/depth. Luhnow also said, "We need more guys. Manea is a guy we think can move pretty quickly and has a chance to be a big league catcher. That was a big part of it for us." Cody Bohanek will probably be at St. Lucie or Binghamton. He spent some time in AAA for the Astros last year but it was probably just to fill a hole on the roster. It was a mid-season bump from Low A ball to AAA for two weeks, then down to A+. He hit .212 in A+ so the Mets could leave him there for more seasoning. He was drafted in 2017 so, at 23 years old, he's about the right age for A+: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=bohane000cod&type=bgl&year=2018 The Mets are dealing lower level players for players who might help now and over the next several years and who might also fit their core. It does make me nervous that they are making all of these deals with competent front offices who have run circles around the Mets front office for years. Maybe BVW is finally changing that. I hope so...time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
