Except for the take an extra base part, you have described Todd Frazier.
Is that a rhetorical question? It should not be as the answer is not at all obvious. Remember Nunez had a career year last year and it would be overly optimistic to expect a repeat.
Frazier had 46 x base hits. Nunez 45. Nunez struck out 75 times less than Frazier. TF is a good glove but he is not Brooks Robinson. I am just tired of the Mets station to station offense and guys who strike out 125 times a year. Offensively TF reminds me of a right handed Lucas Duda. Am I happy we signed him? Yes as he is an improvement over Reyes/AC at 3rd. I liked Nunez b/c he is a different type of player and can lead off. Of course we could have signed the KC 3B and made everyone happy but this is the Wilpons after all.
Bottom feeding,really? According to Vegas, they are 8th best to win the WS. Hardly a bottom feeder, but that's OK. I too,use dislike for a particular team and it's fans to make rash, stupid statements,lmao. In keeping with that theme,pitchers and catchers report today for the Amazins, beginning a journey that will result in getting back to the post season.The Yankees will under perform based solely on my same as you,rash, stupid, statement based on dislike towards the fan base and Yankees. Lol, there I said it, let the games begin. LGM
I agree,playing for the 3 run homer is not designed to have long winning streaks. Too many lost scoring chances and LOB because of way to many K's in this type of lineup.With that said,I still see a post season for the Mets!!!!
Just heard the Yankees are copying the Mets, and going with a 3 man broadcasting team this season. I'm thinking it will be a major improvement over the past they've used. Mets broadcast teams over the years have had, and still do many that move on to National broadcast jobs. At least that's one thing the Mets do better than the Evil Empire. I don't think there's even a debate about that.
Nunez can't hold a candle to Frazier as far as locker room presence, experience, and making guys around him better. Give me Frazier any day of the week.
The marketplace obviously agrees. The best Nunez could do was 1 year at $4 mill. Not that that's chump change...
Compared to what Todd got it is. And Todd supposedly settled on a highly discounted deal to stay home. Most projected him as a 3 year deal.
Is the local new in NYC even in Port St. Lucie? I watch Fox 5, and their entire sports coverage is about what is going on in Tampa.
Yes, the Reds, White Sox and Yanks won all those championships because of Todd in the locker room. I tremble to think where the 2016 White Sox would have finished without Todd. Look as a Met fan I hope to be proven wrong but we have plenty of guys who can strike out 125 or more times in a season. Can we just add one player who brings something different on the field to the table.
Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize guys weren't good players if they were on teams that didn't win it all. He did not help the young yanks at all last year to outperforming expectations. I bow to your vast baseball knowledge and understanding of the game.
What did he win in Cinncy? Or Chicago? How did his intangibles help those teams? Are you suggesting the Yanks only got to the ALCS because of him? A .222 BA with 11 hrs and 32 RBI's is what got the Yanks to the post season? So yes, you should bow to my knowledge and understanding of the game as you have so little of it yourself.
TF's batting average trended down after the 2015 season, but he still hit 40 home runs, and 35 the year before that, and 29 the year before that. And in 2017, he hit 27 home runs and had 76 RBIs. That's an upgrade over Jose Reyes.
Exactly. I am sick of station to station baseball. It would be nice to have a guy who could score from first late in the game on a double.
