OT: Official 2022 NY Mets Season And Post Season Thread

Nimmo is now (not)hitting where Marte needs to leadoff vs a tough lefty. Mets need a OF who bats righty.
Marte Canha and that back up OF who bats righty.
Falling to a knee in first at bat
HR cut with 0-2 count in second AB
And fooled check swing in 3rd AB

One of the best lefties in game. Looks like Nimmo should’ve sat. Hopefully he shuts us all up in the later innings

Baty is money.

Why does it seem so strange to be disappointed in deGrom when he gives up 2 runs in 7 innings?
 
Can’t happen
Ground ball just gets thru infield
Nimmo playing in Macon and a wet noodle arm throw to Ruf
 
How much money is Boras gonna try to pry for this weak-armed, non-base stealing, .260 batting guy? Very replaceable.
Not so replaceable as you may think.

Certainly not replaceable internally within the Met organization, due to prior decisions of which we are all painfully aware.

Also not replaceable in free agency. The CF market this winter is very thin. Nimmo is probably the best available option.

That leaves the trade route. We already know that there is little demand for what the Mets are willing to offer. They may need to expand the definition of what they are willing to offer. Seems like they did that at the 2021 trade deadline, which is why we are in this mess.

I think thats as much a hope as anything. Not as much of a fan of his as some others here. Don't like leadoff hitter who is no threat to swipe a bag. Don't like an OF that can't reach on a throw from medium depth CF. Remember Marte has always been a CF though.

Nimmo is what he is. Good player and now that improved his D to be in the top half of CF, you need to really consider what you do. Make a great offer but if someone offers something crazy, you wave goodbye.
He will be a loss though. He is just a very good ball player.

Bring back Conforto. 😜

Issue is next year is very very weak for free agent CF's. Nimmo is best CF Free Agent. Next best is Kike Hernandez or maybe Charlie Blackmon - but I don't think Blackmon can play CF any more. And then guys like Kevin Kiermyer etc....

Boras is Nimmo's agent so expect an inflated ask from Boras.

I'm excluding Judge as I don't think Judge is a CF nor do I expect Mets to go after him.

Can Marte play CF if Nimmo leaves?

Mets should start playing Mauricio in CF

What about Marte as CF? I know he'll be 33 or 34 but he's played the position his entire career for the most part. I know that Grissom wouldn't have scored if he was the one making that throw.
 
Looks like Verlander won't pitch against the Braves this weekend. He pitched on Tuesday so it seems like Sunday would be his normal turn but looks like they're pushing him back an extra day.

lol...please see my edited post as I added the Marte CF question and maybe the need to put Mauricio in CF probably at the same time you posted...lol

I guess Marte is as good a choice as any internally but his age and injury history gets me nervous.

Did Pete Crow Armstrong play CF?
 
Oh well. They've gotten closer than this and we've pushed them back. Just have to do it again. Gonna need to produce more consistently at the plate than this though. Survive the weekend and then beat up on the Yankees and Rockies.

Yes. Crow-Armstrong is CF primarily. By all accounts he could step in right now and be an outstanding MLB CF defensively. Offensively, he may not be ready in 2023, but probably not too far thereafter. Oh well.
