At the Happy Recap message board, Gotham Baseball Magazine’s Mark Healey recently sat in for a ‘Hot Stove Chat,’ and discussed with the board’s participants what he feels the Mets will do this off season.
…for what it’s worth, i’ll be their featured guest on November 20…
Lastly, got to Sabernomics, where ESPN.com’s Keith Law talks with J.C. Bradley in a lengthy Q&A about the life of a GM, the role of sabermetrics in a front office, and his day-to-day role at ESPN.

By the way, I don’t know if this was the intent, but “How to Kill Time Before Lunch” could be a potentially cool daily post. There is so much stuff out there in the baseball blogosphere that you could definitely find a good link or two to post up around this time every day.
I’m starting to lose faith in Omar. I bought into the “genius” thing too much I guess.
I was expecting some creative moves, getting young talent, trading from stregths, etc. Plus of course the usual reclamation projects.
I guess I should wait to see what actually happens, but it appears to be chasing the names (ala Philips) that are out there, using the big checkbook to overpay. That, and regurgitating the same aging mediocrity.
Torrealba is a head scratcher, but Loduca wouldn’t be any better. Bring Castillo back isn’t going to help either.
What happened to the big creative move? Plucking that young C or 2B that is ready to shine?
Is Omar really about panic trades and overpay mediorce FA?
If the off season ends up being Torrealba, Castillo and Silva, that I would say yes, he is.
If somehow we end up with haren and Burnett, and a decent to good 2B and C for the future, losing Delgado and Gomez +, while still having a nucleus of young talent (pitching even!), then I will re up in the genius fan club.
