Is Anyone Alive Out There: Ongoing Mets Thread

[BigDDude]

Well if you guys are finished can we get this back to being a thread about the pitiful franchise I like for some reason?

Because, like any real true fan, you stick with your team even in the down and lean times.

Reactions To The Marlon Byrd Trade: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

Love what I'm reading about the Buck/Byrd deal:

The player to be named the Mets are set to receive will be a "solid" one, and that could make an already-strong trade even better for New York, says ESPN's Keith Law (Insider-only). But Law also calls the trade a "truly all-in move" from the Pirates' perspective, noting that Byrd represents an enormous upgrade over the Bucs' right fielders, who have been dreadful this year.

In Herrera, the Mets may be getting an "offensive-oriented second baseman," Matt Eddy of Baseball America writes. Eddy also notes that Herrera could hit for decent power to go with a good on-base percentage, and that appears likely to stick at second base.
They may have just traded him, but the Mets may have interest in pursuing Byrd again when he becomes a free agent this winter, Andy Martino of New York Daily News writes (on Twitter).

Jon Niese tosses a CG, 3H, SO @ home vs. philly....and he also hit a bases clearing double to help his cause..

It's like he channeled both, Matt Harvey and Marlon Byrd tonight.....

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think we can still be a very competitive team next year even without Harvey. Niese/Gee/Wheeler should have more quality starts than bad ones, maybe we sign a vet to help eat innings, plus we have a bunch of young arms. Mejia, as far as I can tell, should not miss the entire season.

Sign a CF, maybe trade/sign a RF that can provide some pop to the lineup. And in a year or 2 I think a lot of our higher end prospects will start seeing some time.

Ah, BigD...making friends and influencing people again, eh?

Someone should report you! Oh, wait...


To Whom It May Concern: BigD is one of the good guys...its just that he's sometimes misunderstood.

To be honest, I want the mets to be good. The braves and mets divisional rivalry is my favorite and it's really boring when one or both teams arent in the division race

Obviously I would like the Mets to be good as well, but the Braves are definately my favorite rival. The 99/00 versions of the Braves were arguably my most hated sports teams. The Phillies, Marlins and Nats just don't do anything for me. Awful jerseys, mediocre fan bases.

phillie fans are d-bags for the most part.....the nats logo looks like walgreens....and the fish can't even give tickets to their games away....that being said..the mets are 1-2 years away from being serious contenders in the NL east once again...I just wish we had better ownership....I'm sick of the wilponzi's...they disgust me.

The PTBNL from the Pirates is Vic Black...I haven't done any research on him yet. I wonder how Herrera is with the glove?

Braves are owned by a media corporation that could careless if the team wins or loses, it's all about profit for them. They give Frank Wren a laughable budget where it's extremely hard to produce a winner

Mets Notes: Black, Warthen, Offseason: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

The Mets officially announced today that right-hander Vic Black is headed to New York as the player to be named later in Tuesday's Marlon Byrd/John Buck trade. With the addition of Black and second baseman Dilson Herrera, the Mets will receive two players who were 11th (Herrera) and 17th (Black) among Pirates prospects at the time of the trade, as ranked by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo. Here's more on Black and his new team...

Keep in mind the 10-20 prospects on the Pirates are like 1-10 prospects for other teams. Adding a quality arm can't hurt. He's 25 so he probably is what he is at this point but if he can eat innings or come out of the pen it's a win. Especially since we were losing Byrd and Buck anyway.

Ya, you guys got a good haul for Byrd and Buck.

Herrara should be above average defensively at 2nd base. From what I have read, the only reason he moved off short was arm strength, looks like he will hit too. Could really make us look stupid in a few years, but I dont care right now

Black throws mid 90s, kind of a side arm action. At the bear minimum, he can be a pitcher that gets optioned up and down for the next 2 years. As for the upside, he throws the gas so anything is possible I guess.
