Anyway - I agree with you. Why haven't I heard anything about this from any other source? I'm starting to think that someone hacked the site since nothing else was posted after this Santana news. Anyway, If I learned one thing from following the winter meetings, It's that people make up all kinds of news just to get fans talking. I’m posting just so we can hit 400.

Average ticket price at Fenway is MORE THAN DOUBLE that of Shea, and they sell out more often. So blame the fans before Wilpon if the Mets are being outspent by the only two teams who make more money. And Boston makes $155 million from tickets, while the Mets don’t even make $100 million.

Kazmir was not money, however. 2) Boston operates at the same level as the Mets the franchise is valued approximately the same by Forbes, and they recently added 2,000 seats and make $155 million in gate, while the Mets don't even make $100 million from Shea tickets. Average ticket price at Fenway is more than double that of Shea, and the capacity is larger as well. Their net revenue is $17 million more than the Mets. The Mets launched SNY recently, but the Red Sox have had an 80% share in NESN for longer time, creating more revenue. The Sox also earn $7 million more than the Mets in brand management. So while the Mets play in a larger market, the Red Sox are able to capitalize on their market better by being the only team in the area, whereas the Mets contend with the one team that earns more than the Mets or Red Sox, and have twice the market share. The Mets spend more than any other team though, so stop complaining please. 1) I said Vladdy was money, no one ever said it wasn’t. Kazmir was not money, however.

He does know how to hit... a LH Lenny Harris. Rowand would be a good sign, making it fit is another thing...can he play 1st? He is the type of player that they should be looking at (not necessarily him) even though his OBP could be higher, which you could say about many that start on this team. Plus we already have 4 not counting Gomez who is too young or not even going to be here if we get that SP w're drooling over. But if they have to let go Chaves/Church in the Santana deal, then they should bring in Roward for RF.
