The difference betweeen NY and Philly is that in NY roaches are otherwise known as annoying bugs that people step on, in Philly raoches are otherwise known as citizens.

so furioso….if the mets could replace wright at 3b….would a player that hits 300, 25+hr, 100 rbi, 100runs and since we need someone to be clutch…lets say his career average RISP is around 300, late and close is around 300….and since DW cant get it done down the stretch (aug/sept) he would bat 320 or so in those months….do you think this guy could be the fix the mets need?

Good luck. Notice that I have had limited post the last few days. The entire site is full of guys like him, philly fans and guys who want us to trade garbage for Adrian Gonzalez.

And one last quick point- judging someone with an excellent minor league track record on their first few hundred MLB ABs is just a bad idea. By the same token, you could have argued at the beginning of this season that Pelf was an obvious bust based on two years of struggling part time in the majors (he pitched 94 innings across 06 and 07- a little less than half a season’s full time work- just like LaRoche’s 07 and 08)….

Have a nice lunch…

I also think the important point here is not who was inherently more valuable in an abstract trade market- it has to do with the team’s needs, and signing a college player, no matter how good he is, doesn’t preclude you from signing a young elite AAA player at the same position, especially when you know you might have to move that college player to a different position in a couple of years. The Bucs’ outfield is already stacked for years to come, even if a prospect or two of theirs out there flame out. Even if they liked F-Mart more in the long run generally, they’d be insane to be so confident in either Walker suddenly turning things around or signing Alvarez (again, remember, at the time, things didn’t look like they were going to work out and most Pirate fans wanted them to be rid of Alvarez immediately) that they would instead turn to a prospect at a position where they’re already very deep.
