I was thinking the same thing about that deal. They are kind of the same player except Davis is mediocre to bad at 3 positions, whereas Ruf is mediocre to bad at only 2 positions. The only angle I can see is that Ruf is a true lefty masher so when you combine him with Vogelbach you have a hell of a DH tandem. Still, I wouldn't mind playing poker with the Mets GM.Laugh at the Mets?
Darin Ruf
for
JD Davis
Thomas Szapucki
NickZwack
Carson Seymour
Ruf for Davis, one up, would have been a big win for the Giants. But we get 3 additional, legit bodies on top of that? I hope the Giants ditched the gun they used in that mugging.
And don’t get e wrong. I LIKE Ruf. He was a very good Giant. But that trade is just mind bottling.
If the trade were Ruf for Szapucki one up, it would have been in the Mets favor, but I would have been ok with the sell since Ruf didn’t fit the Giants roster any more and Szapucki has 6 years of team control and has potential as a starter. Zwack and Seymour are lotto tix, so they really are just sweeteners, but both have looked good for the Giants since coming over.I was thinking the same thing about that deal.

What happens now? Can we laugh at them again?No more laughing at the Mets if you ask me if they win tonight. They will have proven alot people wrong in my opinion
