He's crippled this team for the next 10 years, unless the Wilpons keep throwing tons of cash at bigtime FAs. And even then, they won't get them all. And if they bring in Cashman to clean up, they might as well forget about the new ballpark, it won't help the team win or bring the fans out while they suck.

And I get the feeling they would rather hover around hover around mediocrity than take a risk with an unknown. I agree, but I don’t expect it to happen, it would be taking a risk.

And exactly how far away are they? Are we talking 2-3 years or 4-6? “Mets have talent, but much of it remains lower down in their Minor League system”

Who are these mystery players they keep talking about? And exactly how far away are they? Are we talking 2-3 years or 4-6?

I think it's obvious once Willie's gone, if not now, Omar is the first person all the blame is going to fall on, so it's not really like he'd have anything to lose if we're still not a good team. Someone else mentioned before he traded Sizemore, Phillips, and someone else I can't remember for Colon when he was in Montreal and the team's future was in doubt. If he thinks his future with the team is in doubt who's to say he won't empty out the few decent prospects we have for another attempt at a quick fix? I’d fear him trading F-mart.

They won't do it before the draft, and probably not before the end of the season, but let's get some young minds in here rather than some old retread who's already failed elsewhere.
