Re-Re-Visiting the Santana Trade

Sun, 8 Nov 2009 02:41:20 +0000

Boy, things have changed a lot since the last time I did an analysis of the deal that sent Johan to the other New York team. Now that Carlos Gomez has been banished to the land of cheese and bratwurst, there really isn't anyone left. Where did everybody go? Carlos Gomez: Well, we know ...

The Mets Need To Take a # 2

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 19:26:47 +0000

What? You were thinking something else? The Mets starting pitching staff is in some ways “Johan Santana and the rest.” Santana is coming off what by many statistical measures (IP, W, K/9, BB/9, K/BB, BAA, WHIP) was his worst season as a full time starter, and even at his worst ...

Twins quit on centerpiece of Santana deal real quick

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 18:00:00 +0000

There's nothing more frustrating to me than knee-jerk reactions to the performances of young baseball players. No one quits faster on young talent than baseball teams. Andy Marte, Dan Johnson, and at one point, Adam Lind was in this boat before the Blue Jays decided to give him more than 400 ...

The Brewers Dismantling And Mess

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 15:06:56 +0000

The trade of JJ Hardy to get the hit-or-miss Carlos Gomez is curious. Gomez will either be a superstar of flame out. It can now officially be said that the Twins got nothing from the Mets for Johan Santana. And when--not if--Ken Macha is fired, Willie Randolph will have giant mess to clean up.

Carlos Santana Named Eastern League POY

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 20:00:11 +0000

In what is a relatively bad day for Indians fans, we can at least take solace in the fact that we have one of the top prospects in baseball in Carlos Santana. The young catcher continues to rack up awards, with his latest just being released today as Santana was named Topps/Minor League Player ...

J.J. Hardy Traded To Twins For Carlos Gomez…

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 18:30:23 +0000

Ok, What? From Rotoworld : Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports that the Brewers have traded J.J. Hardy to the Twins for Carlos Gomez. Hardy was a goner with the Brewers committing to Alcides Escobar at shortstop and the Twins have long been a rumored destination for him, so this deal makes ...

One Step Back, Two Steps Forward

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 14:26:18 +0000

With the Yankees winning the World Series Wednesday night, the 2008 season comes into sharper focus. The New York front office took a step back that year to be able to put themselves in a position to win in 2009. The decision not to trade for Johan Santana paid off. Brian Cashman allowed the ...

Big Z

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 13:00:52 +0000

With the off-season rumor mill already swirling, (our off-season started mid-summer unfortunately), I am disappointed not to hear more about the Mets pursuit of Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano. While it’s true Big Z is coming off a down year, I see him being a perfect fit here in Queens. ...

Trading Joakim Soria is Fool’s Gold

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:22:40 +0000

The concept of trading Joakim Soria was tossed out earlier in the year, and is certainly not a new or groundbreaking idea. However recently the idea of the Royals trading their elite closer has started to gain some new momentum. For me the idea is terribly flawed. Trading Joakim Soria is ...

If Citi Field Is A Pitchers Park Why Aren’t Mets Going After Top Pitchers?

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:30:29 +0000

As we all know by now Citi Field is a pitchers park. It has a big outfield and 16 foot fences on the outfield walls. The Wilpons decided when building a new ball park for the Mets to play in that they wanted a pitchers park for the Mets. I’m sure if you ask David Wright he will tell ...

How good is John Lackey...

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:10:00 +0000

The Mets need a top of the rotation starter, a solid #2 to slide in behind Johan Santana. Whether they'll admit it or not, the rotation behind Santana even when it was healthy had too many variables to be considered a pitcher oriented club. Many want the Mets to sign John Lackey regardless ...
