Mets Unlikely To Acquire Outfielder
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
... Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes about the Mets' unsuccessful search for a corner outfielder.
The Mets find the prospect price too high on players such as Raul Ibanez and Jason Bay. They just don't like Adam Dunn. They don't like Randy Winn's contract or lack of power. And Manny Ramirez is unlikely for numerous reasons.
While the Mets are fans of Ibanez, they've made all of their interesting prospects untouchable. The Mets may ...

Mets Unlikey to Acquire Outfielder
Mets Merized Online - A Mets Blog For Real Mets Fans! —
As reported by Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets are unlikely to acquire an outfielder before the July 31st deadline. Most of the outfielders on the Mets radar have been snagged away by other teams. ...

... him more value but he's only projected to a back end of the rotation guy, which in my mind would make him movable. However, the Mets may have a spot to fill in the rotation and Niese is the only pitcher that could be ready to fill the spot. So Niese would be harder to move not because of his potential but because of the teams necessity. He wouldn't be a deal breaker in my opinion we have pitchers with higher potential behind him (Parnell / Holt) and you can always find a 4-5 starter. But now there's a report that there's several players Omar is deeming untouchable...... ...
Phillies Have No Interest in Manny Ramirez
FanHouse —
... So where will Manny be playing by the end of the season? Some reports still say the Mets are interested, but I don't think they have the tools (or the stomach) to pull the trigger. Instead, if you couldn't tell from my first paragraph, I'm completely convinced he'll finish the season in Boston, which will make all of this time we're spending talking about his possible destinations seem a little silly. ...

Adam Dunn - Most Misunderstood Player of His Time?
umpbump.com —
... The sabermetric crowd loves his on-base and slugging percentages and are more willing to overlook his deficiencies. If you’ve read UmpBump regularly, then you probably know that I’m pretty firmly on the sabermetric side. And no, I was not a math geek growing up. Hated it, in fact. Anyhow, it should come as no surprise when I say that Adam Dunn just might be the most underrated hitter in baseball today and I would love to have the guy play for my New York Mets this year. But if Joel Sherman of the New York Post is correct (and when is the Post ever wrong?), that’s simply a ...

Speaking of Comebacks...Some Props for Mr. Tatis, Perhaps?
www.legendofcecilioguante.com 7/28/2008 — ...The stories of Josh Hamilton and Rick Ankiel are well-documented and deservedly so. The tale of Fernando Tatis is quite different, yet, in many ways, it's just as hard to believe. Tatis has not only clawed his way back into baseball, but he's managed to stick on a roster. The team? The New York Mets. Oh yea, and he's one of the big reasons the Mets are one of the hottest teams in baseball.

The Fernando Tatis side-step and point to the sky
theropolitans.com 7/28/2008 — I love the way Tatis celebrates his home runs. As he approaches home plate, in a jog, he turns to a side step, then shuffles his way onto the plate sideways. He quickly looks up to the sky, and raises his two fingers in celebration, and most likely praising his God.

Mets pursuit of Ibanez
mysportsrumors.com 7/28/2008 — The New York Mets are still in a frantic search for a power-hitting outfielder. Rumors continue to swirl around Boston Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez, but the team has really had their sights set on Seattle Mariners lefty Raul Ibanez. Ibanez doesn’t completely fit the teams need as they need a right-handed hitter, but still they see him as the best fit out of all options.
