Homegrown vs. Acquired Talent
Mets Lifers —
There's an interesting debate going on over at Sully Baseball. Sully is taking a look at the age old debate of homegrown talent vs. acquired talent for each MLB team. He's just compiled his list for the Mets and there are some interesting arguments to be made.
Sully does a great job of picking a starter and a reserve for each position while also building a starting rotation and bullpen for both the homegrown and acquired talent teams. Looking down the list of Mets homegrown talent I agree with the majority of his picks except for the fact that he has Buddy ...

Home-grown Mets vs. acquired Mets
Mets Tailgate —
Check out this awesome comparison at Sully Baseball of the best home grown Mets players and acquired players (via MetsBlog). It's pretty outstanding, and "Sully" includes a picture of each player on the teams. Sully is doing the same comparison for every team in baseball during this offseason. After last week's fireworks, the Mets offseason activity is at a standstill. I don't expect things to pick up again until after Christmas. Hopefully Omar Minaya can give the people what they want: Derek Lowe. In the ...
Notes From the Underground
NL East Chatter —
... Oh yeah, Twins/Tigers at the Metrodome. Figured I’d watch just to quench my baseball Jones…now that my team’s been relegated to packing out their lockers and making tee times in Arizona. But even this one was nearly unwatchable for me because whoever did win had to travel to NY the very next night to face the Yankees. Some Golden Ticket, huh? I mean, I’m sort of happy for Twins fans and all. It’s nice to win play-in games. Al Leiter, despite his recent shacking up with the Yankees as their color man on YES, remains one of my all time favorite ...
