Comments on: Read: The Youth Movement http://www.metsblog.com/2008/08/21/read-the-youth-movement/ Latest Mets News, Links, Rumors and Opinion Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:22:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gina http://www.metsblog.com/2008/08/21/read-the-youth-movement/#comment-303121 Gina Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:54:08 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2008/08/21/read-the-youth-movement/#comment-303121 My issue with bringing Pedro back is the injury worry, we don't have very much starting pitching depth and I don't want to have to be leaning on retreads mid season like we are now, plus bringing back the exact same rotation will give us the exact same bullpen issues, because of them not throwing enough innings, we have now. I'd rather spend the money and go out and a get a guy like Garland. Plus as much as I love Perez he is a head case, and I really have no idea what to make of Maine right now. I'd like to have someone other than Johan in the rotation we can count on from day to day.

That is even weaker than simple anecdotal evidence -- it is no evidence at all! Not surprising, because there is no evidence to draw upon -- he simply hasn't produced! Argenis Reyes has proven to be good at one thing -- making outs. Again, what key performance, and in what key spots? That is even weaker than simple anecdotal evidence — it is no evidence at all!

For the love of Bill James, you can't tell absolutely EVERYTHING about a player by reading a spreadsheet several weeks later. “Weak anecdotal evidence” including key performance in key spots?

He's thrown 52.3 innings this year or 2 more then Duaner. Let's get this guy, it's obviously going to be our biggest hole & hes the best option by far i dont understand why everyone thinks k-rod is being overworked by the angels.

I don't know how many of you read the Joel Sherman post but I loved it and I would really love to have Jim Callis from Baseball America tell us how bad our prospects are now and how good the Yankees are. I'm sure when the next BA rankings come out we will once again be in the lower ranked farm systems while the all mighty yankees and their hype machine farm system will be top 10. And by the way when asked about our draft this year Callis discribed it a "very vanilla" I think the Mets should let Delgado go, I don’t think you can go into next season thinking he is going to duplicate this year or be better.

All I've heard has been weak anecdotal evidence and terribly overused cliches. He's a solid fielder, but he just does not have the bat to be a major leaguer, let alone a starter.

So if in fact Murphy turns out to be something (which I think he will), we can thank you know who. Yes…and I believe that guy was single handedly responsible for getting Murphy.
