OT: New York Mets 2022-2023 Off Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
You send Trout right down the Turnpike. We're holding CF open for him. LOL
1) This Japanese guy has a name. Kodai Senga. (Sorry, but we all have our hot buttons, and this is one of mine.)
2) I have no f'n idea how good he is
3) But what I do know is how good he is PERCEIVED to be. I know this from the contract he got - $75MM over 5 years. $15MM AAV. Mid-rotation money. The Mets expect him to be a solid mid-rotation starter. We shall see.
So the Japanese guy might be good or the Japanese guy might not be good. Guess we’ll have to see.
Konnichiwa…sumimasen. 🙇♂️🙏
If this doesn’t make you fan of him, not sure what will…

Is this the guy who is a huge fan of Bryce Harper?
Umm most people?
dammitt 008 lol 🤪 i was not asking you- I am actually curious. He went from a Diaz type untouchable to just get the hell rid of him over night.
I like your assessment but I don't think you can trade Cookie. JV and Max are older and I worry about innings and injuries. We will need 7 starters with injuries. My only other quibble would be I could see Baty or Alvarez making the team out of spring training if they have a big spring. Knda like Pete a few years back. Leaning toward Alvarez because of the power, so Nido may be to odd man out.
I really don’t like trading Cookie at all as a 4/5 starter he is better than 90% of the league in that role.
I actually think there will be a Alonso type rookie to make the team this year- but like Pete, it will be a very good prospect but not Alvarez or Baty- my gut is telling me either Vientos or Mauricio
If the Mets make no further moves at DH, I think Vientos makes the team over Ruf. They have to add another OF though. Have to.
I think the Mets want to get Alvarez more catching experience before they bring him up.
Sorry, it was easy pickins😁 since the 3 Amigos came in. You know how they love when there's a negative Mets story,lol
Senga is second coming of Yu Darvish
Alvarez hits like #1 prospect
Baty becomes Bohm
Escobar plays to 80% of September Escobar all season
Vientos and Mauricio destroy AAA pitching and are big trade pieces
Top 5 in lineup do what they do
Narvaez thinks it’s 2019 again and hits 278 with 20 HR ( 2021 266 and 11 )
LFGM
Super Bowl - Valentine’s Day - pitchers and catchers 5-6 weeks away

Can I tweak this statement to say fanbase? 😁 Kirby Smart says "the worst disease that can surround a football program is entitlement". Says at UGA they have to continue to ‘eat off the floor’ Should be a lesson learned for so many.
MLB Network begins its annual ranking of Top 10 players at each position right now, with its Top 10 Relief Pitchers and Rightfielders.
Edwin Diaz Numero Uno relief pitcher! Starling Marte #7 RF.

What's Alvarez reputation behind the plate? Is he Sanchez like, a work in progress, or solid? If the first two, the veterans at the front of the rotation and Senga may prefer pitching to someone else. Just a thought.
Better than Sanchez but no one will mistake him for being the best defensive catcher in the game. He's a work in progress back there. Strong arm.
I think it'll be Mancini in the end. He's got an established relationship with Buck
If you watched his ABs in the postseason you wouldn’t (thankfully I stayed clear fantasy-wise). Hoping for Duvall, Profar, or anyone else.
You could do worse. Couldn’t stand him, Kolten Wong, Harrison Bader and that Randal Girchuk guy when they were on the Cardinals. All guys who you can’t stand playing against but love having them on your team.
