OT: New York Mets 2022-2023 Off Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
This is very much a true statement, in general. But, even if you are the teller of a joke, you have a lifetime pass to decide if it's funny if you also find this joke funny:
looking at our team now with Nimmo back- we have 4 starters that had over a .800 OPS returning and that is not including Lindor who was at .788
Only the Dodgers had as many starters over .800 ops and one of their 4 was T Turner who is no longer with the team.
In the AL, only Tor and Hou had as many as 4 starters over a .800 OPS
Losing Marte the last month of the year is really what hurt us. But, if we can stay healthy, I do like our team this year.

Yeah Marte loss officially ended the season - win 1+ more games easily with him in the lineup and win the East.
Nimmo
Marte
Lindor
Alonso
McNeil Pretty damn good top 5 of lineup !!
Canha solid season a little more power is needed if he’s not going to be a 285+ hitter
Escobar. I’ll take second half EE. He led league in LOB at the start of the year and really struggled to get going until August
Catcher. Hard to be worse than first 2/3 of season. Zero power and all 3 guys around 190-215 💩💩💩
second half Nido and a maturing Alvarez should be an offensive upgrade in the 9 spot.
DH ???? Horrible all year
Guillorme rotates and gives muitple players days off. As Alvarez gets more comfortable at the plate he can give Nido more frequent days off.
No idea what Mets have in Vientos and Baty. outside of a few good swings the other 60 combined at bats showed nothing.
Forgot Vogelbach. I’d just tell him after every second backwards K you will be benched for 2 games.

Maybe pull a Twinkie on a string between 1st and 2nd when he’s on 1st and a grounder is hit too. There is no excuse for him to be so obese.
Then why would you even mention getting there. Bc thats all you have dumbass. Maybe theyll have half a ticker tape parade just for you next time mutts get there
Now get back to watching cartoons with your grandkids

We don't claim to be The Varsity,you do. We don't claim to be the best thing since sliced bread,you do. Keep living in the past when you won before you were born,before divisions,before WC games,you know,before multi levels of playoffs. Oh, let's not forget,7 decades before the Mets existed.
By the way, I don't blame the Yankee fans on here. If that were my kind of thing, I'd be on here ragging you guys because you are so easy to instigate. Try not giving a sh#t. The problem would go away. In the meantime, I'm almost rooting for these guys as you take the bait every time.
Better reread your post, your the one crying that the yankees are failures which would indicate you think the mutts are the "varsity". Unless your thinking the mutts are the bigger failures lol.
2008 guys pretty easy to take apart must be all that time spent in the bsmt.
On that note, yesterday01 and 2008, I bid you adieu. LGY😭You won the thread!
You should actually see how they react on the Yankee thread even if you aren't trolling.
So- back to the Met's off season...if we get Senga, do you guys feel we are mostly done outside of a couple of BP arms for the off season or do you see us trying to make a trade as well? Would love to find a way to move McCann and live the year with Nido and Alvarez.
I wouldn't just give away McCann, as I feel he has value. I haven't given up on him yet.
He has Cano written all over him. The 2nd half of a long contract with Judge will be a killer. Big, muscular guys don't age well in baseball.You won the thread!

Screw it sign Correa for him to play 3B. Sign Senga. Sign another 2 pen arms. Trade McCann and Ruf. Sign Kiermaier.
I’m not as high on Correa as a lot of people are. Dude seems to be injured all the time.
And not sure how much better than Escobar he would be as compared how much you would have to pay.
Keep Escobar there with Baty getting a chance.
Interesting note- 2022, of qualified hitters, Escobar had the 2nd highest OPS at 3B in the NL East…
He is better and younger but has really only been able to have 2/3 healthy years.
We can’t spend that money on him and then also have Pete and MvNeil to pay.
Mets could in theory go to war with the pitchers they've got under contract, although I doubt they will.
They MUST add another OF. Excluding McNeil (who is penciled in as their everyday 2B), their 4th OF is Khalil Lee, and there is no 5th.
Having to use two roster spots at DH is poor roster construction. Especially when one of them sucks. Hopefully we'll find an alternative in 2023.
move McCann and Ruf; sign Andrew McCutcheon as rotational backup OF/DH and Jackie Bradley Jr perhaps as a defensive backup, both would probably be cheap 1 yr deals I would think since they've severely declined from their previous star statuses but might be nice contributors on a WS run. Hopefully can get Ottavino back since unfortunately Lugo is likely a goner with teams wanting him as a starter. Get one more starting quality pitcher (since Trevor Williams is gone, and Lugo probably as well) that can double as a long reliever and 6th starter since we have two 40 year olds as our aces.
I wouldn’t even shy away from a 1 year Conforto contract either. And Ruf really needs to be felt. Even if for a bag of balls.
There's been talk about the Padres approaching him as a LF/DH.
They've also been in contact with Senga. Darvish may have some influence there.
Between giving the guys in the corner OF spots a breather and having Vogey and Ruf sitting their fat asses on the bench - Conforto could pretty much get 120 or so games in starting. And if Canha starts slow and MC hot- then he stays in LF
So was the last time you made an intelligent post. I understand its your low self esteem that attracts you to the Yanks and keeps you coming back to this thread to feel better about yourself. I gave you a whole page of analysis on this a couple of years ago and you seemed to be doing better. Apparently you have relapsed. Please get help.
Love this, he really is clueless. Keeps saying how could the Mets let the best pitcher in baseball leave for Texas. I guess he doesn't watch enough baseball to realize deGrom hasn't been healthy in 3 years,lol
