Dude. What's comical is your excuse for the time stamps error. 🤣🤣🤣 BTW did I say anything about the Mets?? Of course not.
It's ST. Everyone is getting AB's on fields across the complex.
He posted a picture saying he was doing well. He looked good for having gone through that. Had a stent put in.

In the comparison of JDs, Martinez >>> Davis.

Funny what a year means. Last year, this board was loaded with proclamations that one of the most important things was to give ABs to the likes of Vientos, Baty, and later Mauricio. Now it's very different.
If I had to pick one player who is most pivotal for the success of the season, it would be Severino. With Marte a close second.
I agree 100% with this. Those 7-10 year contracts never work out well for players pushing 30+. I don't see the Mets throwing Soto or Alonso a 10 year contract. What's Judge have, 9 years left on his? I'm betting the high water mark for him in any of the next 9 seasons would be 125 games played. On the field he's the best, but it's hard to be a consistent winning team working around your top player like that.If the Mets can't sign Pete to a 5 or 6 year contract then trade him for prospects at the deadline or let him walk.
That concern is real with Pete. It’s a bit of a non sequitur for Soto, though.
Severino is a good choice. After that, more generally, I'd like to see much of the the infield have excellent offensive seasons, in particular the two Franciscos, Pete and Jeff, and the outfield play outstanding D. That'd be a good team. Good performances at 3d and DH would be nice too, but it's not what I'd be relying on.
Yes, I get that as Soto is much younger but I hate these 7-10 year contracts.
I would be surprised if the last few years of Judge's contract are cost effective, but what are you going to do? The Yanks held firm and he went out and broke the AL HR record in his contract walk year. I guess sometimes the player wins! :)
The guys on the FAN afternoon show put bets in on Severino winning the Cy Young. 200 to 1 odds. If you look at it, there are really no odds on favorites for the award.
The problem is . . . Boras. He knows that getting a 10-year deal is the right move for Pete. And he knows the sentiment from Mets fans wanting him back. And Boras has no problem holding out, and holding out.
I could see that play from both sides...And Cohen maybe upping the annual for a shorter term.
Certainly better than giving that sort of deal to a 40 year old.
Jeff and Pete will have better BA's this year I bet which will help everything else. I think we see a much better more consistent Alvarez this year. Lindor was pretty great offensively last year if he just repeats that I would be happy. OPS+ of anywhere from 115-125 is about his median.
I don't have faith in Megill doing it long term during the season. He's never had quite the velocity that he had during that two month stretch on which we all pin our hopes. And that drop in velocity has mattered. Sure, he hits 95, 96, sometimes even 97. But he also hits 92, 93, and Two-month Megill soared past 98 and mowed people down. Also, the Post did a piece last month on his new splitter, suggesting that it might be a game-changer for him. So far, I haven't seen much of it, though I admittedly haven't seen all his starts.
