He will face a tougher decision when it comes time to activate Davis.
But compared to some of the roster decisions he's faced ("Do I cut Cameron Maybin or Jake Hager so I can add Mason Williams?") that one will definitely be a First World problem.

Gotta give credit where it's due. Chad Green closing the game with an immaculate inning was pretty impressive.
Yeah I suppose you're right. It's just that after all these weeks of shuffling spare parts, having to cut someone who's actually contributed somehow feels wrong. This is his final option year, and the Mets had already optioned him in April, so they can do so again. However, what I am not sure of is whether he now has five years accumulated MLB service. If so, he cannot be optioned without his consent. He could demand his release. Hopefully it does not come to that. I am sure he knows that in the event of an injury, he's next man back up.
really tough decision says Luis about Almora......roflmao......As stated above, the next demotion will be a tough decision when JD comes back......
Well he's not exactly gone. He's still on the 40 man, and still collecting his guaranteed MLB salary. If any outfielder goes down, he's back up. Not goodbye. More like until we meet again.
Or until we pick up somebody like a McKinney Or Williams. Have to think we are continuing to look
For sure. Peraza has had more than one big game winning or game tying type hits. Like home runs that have been the difference in a one-run winning. Been more clutch than several of the so-called offensive stars, of which several probably would have struck out in the spot where he delivered the game-winner in game 1.
Some observations / thoughts:
- Depth on team offensively is reminiscent of 2015 when you felt confident with guys like Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson etc
- Players who have exceeded expectations:: Nido / Bench mob / Pillar / Degrom / Walker / Stroman / Diaz and rest of bullpen. Iād add Alonso as well given he has had no lineup protection
- Conforto looks scared / passive and nervous at plate. He will be forced to sign 1 year contract next year because itās unlikely he ll get big money contract
- Expect Mets to make deal by deadline whereby they ll pick up big money contract of a player and real good pitcher under team control who will be a starter or vice versa. Very little will be sent back in return. Example is Donaldson and Berrios or something very similar. Regardless we need a SP badly.
- Lindor is much better hitter when he looks to slap ball for hits. Tries to play too much hero ball gunning to hit HRs. Has he started every game so far?
- Brewers series scares me. Real good team and I fear a Mets emotional letdown which they had in nightcap yesterday. Plus we face Woodruff and Burnes.
- Luis Rojas is a Manager of the Year Candidate though the SF Giants Manager is the favorite at the moment
- Itās nice to have Ownership that understands the financial commitment to win plus the Organizational commitment to build a winner from within.
- Donāt like when McCann hits 5th. He needs to be lower in lineup.
- Looking forward to return of JD Davis
- Kudos to Dom Smith for making a very nice transition to LF.
- Iām a firm believer that all things even out during a full season if baseball. Thus Iām expecting really good 2nd halves from underachievers to date such as Conforto: McNeil and Lindor. Just hope not at the expense of guys who have overachieved to date.
- Most importantly this has been such a fun and exciting season to date which I have been too emotionally vested in. lol. Keep up the great play ; keep winning ; win a pennant minimally and please no more injuries

Still have my eye mostly on Atlanta. That's why I was upset about Miami blowing a 4 run 9th inning lead yesterday. Don't want to see them get on a streak at all. Washington is gonna have a rough California trip. And no Schwarber. And Philly is gonna Philly.
Frank, I think I have you figured out. Your posts are ultra-pessimistic. If you're proven right, you take your bows. If you're proven wrong, you take credit for the turnaround, due to some reverse jinx or something.
Well done, sir!š
Is there still an in season Yankees thread? I was looking for reactions from the last series but they seem to have turned turtle. Not unexpected, but comical just the same.
Your early game posts are like 1at quarter RU game thread posts. The gift that keeps giving.
Draft update - the current buzz is that Kumar Rocker (one of the aforementioned Vandy pitchers) just might slide to the Mets at 10, as he had a shaky CWS. If so, the speculation is that the Mets will take him.
I have been hoping somehow he would fall to them. Fingers crossed as I don't think Leiter gets that far. Of the top ten picks, there are three pitchers, Rocker, Leiter and a HS kid. One catcher, one OF, and the rest are short stops. The catcher probably does not fall to us and we have a good one in Brooklyn. The OF has a similar skill set to the OF we took 1st last year. We are set at shortstop and Mauricio is coming up fast. Pitcher is really the area we need help and Rocker could come up mid way through next year and help the club.
I hope that the Mets have assembled a top-notch scouting operation and come away with a haul of talented picks from this draft. That's it. I'm confident that "current buzz" is irrelevant because, if "current buzz" were good at this, he'd be running a front office somewhere.
