I’ll back you up on that. I think this season is a wash as well so absolutely build for next season.

i agree with you, but then why not sell the pieces that you can and build for next year?

even when everybody was healthy the mets were at .500 or close to it. Why not build for the future.

Bring up Malo and start him at short, Cora at second, Wright at third, Murphy at first, Santos catching, Evans in right, martinez in center, and church in right.

See if you can sell high on Hernandez, Redding, and/or Stokes. You’re getting Maine back and just pitch Niese. Bring back Wagner early to showcase him and then trade him.

Either that or get a big bat and a big arm to compete.

True enough. I don’t think he belongs in the starting lineup either. And back to this hitting thing, for God’s sake it would be one thing if the hitters had different reasons why they went into slumps during the year. But it seems like the Mets players have the same problems and they do not get worked on. Again, not to throw HoJo under the bus, but I just threw it in reverse and I am backing it up to get another run at him.

Personally I like building out of the farm system. I like growing prospects into major leauge talent. IMO you trade prospects when there is a need now to get you over the top. For better or worse the Mets aren’t anywhere near the top so for once I agree with Omar. Making a trade to play catch up is dangerous.

That’s a good point. Hadn’t thought of Nick Evans.

what i don’t understand is why `evans isn’t starting if sheffield isn’t starting. give teh kid a chance to show what he’s got if not then you know he’s not part of the future

no i agree with you was just saying that tonight everybody hit ground balls and his just was with a runner on but yea idk if tatis is down but he really does not belong in the four hole, i don’t think he should be starting at all at this point

just came back from the game, mets fans knew it was over at 3-0, half the crowd just walked up and left.

this was the most boring game i’ve ever been to, i usually like close games but everybody at the stadium knew the mets weren’t scoring.

what’s the point of having prospects? to use them for a trade when the big team needs it, well they desperately need it.

3 games back and counting the wrong way

I get what you’re saying, but I personally have heard enough of this “bad luck” thing. Either this man has the worst luck in the history of bad luck, or he’s just not that good anymore. He’s not getting any younger and never was an elite player. I’ve heard this “he hit the ball hard” or “he hit it right at someone” thing long enough. If the man cant produce, get someone who can or at the very least get somene who may in the future. Great idea Jerry, great idea. This man will manage the Mets out of contention.
