He just hit a 3 run homer today.
He’s slow, and unfortunately couldn’t get the ball where he wanted it last night.
Plus, the Mets played almost perfect defense in the 9th – their only goof (Wright’s throw) was fixed immediately by a great play (Castillo’s stretch).

You're playing "Yankee ball" about the issue
To you, a trade is the only solution. Why give up valuable prospects for half a year or a full year of service from some guy?

Yes. That offense
Offenses don’t click every single game. Look at the Tigers a year or two ago. Or the Rangers this year. Do they score 10 times every game? No. Do they have close losses? Yes. Every offense isn’t always on. Papi is just the black hole of our offense at this point.

Then wait till the offseason.
Why give up prospects? What the hell are we gonna get back if we clean out our farm system? I guarantee it damn sure won’t be an Adam Dunn or Adrian Gonzalez. It’ll probably be a Magglio Ordonez or Victor Martinez or Jermaine Dye/Konerko.

Meh, like I said yesterday, you have to give to get. My fear is we screw around and end up signing Holliday next season. i think Bay is playing himself into a huge contract somewhere else.

Holliday will go to the MFY and continue to be “meh”.

Last four guys:
Mags: getting and can’t hit as well anymore
VMart: way over-performing
Dye: I suggested it a while ago, but I’d like to look at Quentin.
Konerko: has been horrible for a few years, IIRC.
by bs.uf15bosox9bears23 on May 24, 2009 4:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Dye probably wouldn’t even happen, seeing as that is their only real offense right now.

Honestly, nobody. A team like the White Sox would probably be willing to give up Konerko for Penny and a mid level prospect (Like Hagadone), but even that is too much for a hitter who sucks ass now.

the homer that wasnt
did you guys get a good look? off the bat it looked gone. The met announcers (who are actually good and honest) thought it was foul but said the guys in their truck said it was fair. the replay showed it off the bud sign, which “looks” fair compared to the foul pole, but ron darling pointed out is at least partly in foul territory…

Nope
They signed Kerry Wood in the offseason. Would look like a total “We don’t trust you” move.

but still.. why waste all that money in the offseason to trade an A+ prospect for another closer?

I guess it helps them in the end
Seeing as he would just help them lose more and that’s one less wildcard team we gotta worry about.
