Heard LaSorda say this many moons ago," Every team will win 50, and lose 50,it's what you do with the other 62 games that will determine your season." I know, I know the 62' Mets only won 40 games,lol.I never mentioned jet lag.
Listen, even the best MLB teams are gonna lose two months worth of games during the course of a season. Sure it sucks losing to the jv team, but I like this Yankees team. Hopefully, German is back to pitching well tomorrow.....and the bats wake up.
26 years old, 500 gp's, career average of .250. I think we might be at the point of accepting him for what he is.Michael has to hit better than .245.
I agree. I keep hearing he should be a 300 hitter. To me, my expectation is between 240 and 270. If you combine that with 30 HRs and 0-100 rbi's, that's a decent year.26 years old, 500 gp's, career average of .250. I think we might be at the point of accepting him for what he is.
They are 6 games back in the wildcard but with 9 teams to pass. I would trade him.Anyone else here for keeping Wheeler?
No reason why he can't be rented out and brought back, as was done with Familia.Anyone else here for keeping Wheeler?
Ya, career high of .270 thus far. If you include this year, he has 3 years under .250.I agree. I keep hearing he should be a 300 hitter. To me, my expectation is between 240 and 270. If you combine that with 30 HRs and 0-100 rbi's, that's a decent year.
I think it was Licata on SNY last night, but if Mets were to trade Wheeler to a team like Milwaukee, that ups the possibility they could bring him back after the year. As opposed to say the Yanks, who would most likely sign him(assuming he doesn't completely fall apart there).No reason why he can't be rented out and brought back, as was done with Familia.
Doubt that will happen though. The Mets paid deGrom and I think will pay Syndergaard. You can't pay everybody.
The only way I think Wheeler is back next year is if the Mets don't like their trade offers. Then they make him a qualifying offer for purposes of getting a compensatory draft pick, and to their surprise he signs it. Like Neil Walker in 2017.
My thoughts on keeping him are certainly not centered around this year.They are 6 games back in the wildcard but with 9 teams to pass. I would trade him.
What were his #'s in the minors?For those who care about organizational doings - Dilson Herrera has exercised a contractual opt-out and has elected free agency.
Hard to think that four years ago, one reason the Mets were unwilling to go long-term with Daniel Murphy was that they viewed Herrera as his heir apparent. He's since developed some pop and is still only 25. I am sorry to see him go.
Herrera 2019 for Syracuse: 17 HR, 38 RBI, slash line .258/.355/.566, which is a .921 OPS.What were his #'s in the minors?
Of course trade Wheeler if they can get top prospects for him. But deGrom turned out to be the Ace everyone wanted Harvey to be. Wheeler may become the #2 guy everyone wanted Syndergaard to be. Matz turned out to be the bipolar pitcher with his constant Jekill and Hyde performances.I agree. I keep hearing he should be a 300 hitter. To me, my expectation is between 240 and 270. If you combine that with 30 HRs and 0-100 rbi's, that's a decent year.
Better than Cano lolHerrera 2019 for Syracuse: 17 HR, 38 RBI, slash line .258/.355/.566, which is a .921 OPS.
Cano is hitting .400 in the last 7 days. Maybe he finally is turning the corner?Better than Cano lol
Need to see more, all 8 of his hits have been singles, 1 rbi in that stretch, 1 walk, but it's a start.Cano is hitting .400 in the last 7 days. Maybe he finally is turning the corner?
Looking at his career stats, over 14 years he has hit .303, an 10 of those years over .300 . His worse season was 2008, when he batted .271 . Hopefully, he picks it up, because he has been bad compared to his career average. Even in the last few years, he was near .300.Need to see more, all 8 of his hits have been singles, 1 rbi in that stretch, 1 walk, but it's a start.
Hopefully. Im still waiting for .500.Cano is hitting .400 in the last 7 days. Maybe he finally is turning the corner?
Damn, I’m trying to figure out which 40/40 that is...Murphy stupidity still drains. As does failure to trade HoJo after the 40/40, Cano torture, etc.
Damn, I’m trying to figure out which 40/40 that is...
You know what is amazing...Murphy and Walker we’re almost identical players up to the point of Murphy leaving and Walker coming.
I think if he wasn't Tim Tebow he would have been released already.Man, Dom Smith with a .325 ba. .415 obp. A pretty meager 14 rbi's, but have to cut him some slack there given he doesn't have a consistent spot in the lineup.
I think the plan moving fwd should be McNeil at 2nd. Smith and Conforto on the corners in the OF, and finding a legit CF.
Trade Frazier at the deadline, move Cano to 3rd and see if he can find his groove.
And of course, Tebow needs to be in there somewhere.;)

I still say make Syndergaard the closer since his FU attitude on the mound is perfect for a closer role.
38/30. Close enough - lol. Wanted him gone after 1991. Knew that team was going nowhere fast after that, and didn’t see him producing that again.
He had 40+ doubles and 40+ sb in ‘89.
It's gonna be a EPIC FALL/FAIL, can't wait.[cheers] Thinking your going to fall a little short,once again.Yanks Flush the Mets

Just reacting to the 3 Amigos, and still haven't posted in the Yankee "dead zone" thread this year,which is more than I can say about so many Yankee fans in here.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:You need new material. Epic fail is so 2018
When it's smooth sailing, don't rock the boat.Just reacting to the 3 Amigos, and still haven't posted in the Yankee "dead zone" thread this year,which is more than I can say about so many Yankee fans in here.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Was your thought about trading him due to him being our best trade bait?
I agree with you 100%When it's smooth sailing, don't rock the boat.
Haven't posted here much myself. Besides bad Mets aren't much fun to watch
If only I could set a DVR to McNeil, Alonso...and ignor the rest unless deGrom is pitching and then really fun come the 6 or 7 inning when MC is trying to pull him from a good game with a small lead...When it's smooth sailing, don't rock the boat.
