I was just bringing up Humber because that was another typical Mets prospect that the organization thought would end up like Nolan Ryan... hahaha he had a 5.80 era in Triple A after coming off of Tommy John surgery.

He has an eye for talent - his problem is/was falling in love with his players and not letting them go when it's clearly time.

If money were not an issue, yes, but it will be. Because Sheff will want six figures and I’d rather give that to more pressing needs on this team and fill out PHer/OFer differently.

Well of course we'd only trade him if we can get something. And if we can't, of course we'd keep him. “IF, we can get something for him, fine, if not, I think he can still helphis team.”

So you can't fire him and then watch that happen. There is also the more probable and realistic reasoning that he will remain with the organization in a scouting role (with a glorified title that looks like a 'promotion'), and they have taken all control from him away already. For all we know Ricco is already calling the shots. But for the latter reason, and i guess a little of the prior, they can't fire him yet.

He also said he was perfectly happy to go sit home and retire but when David reached out to him he decided to come to the mets and he's been here through a pretty rough season, he may like to play next year with everybody healthy and a chance to contend The only thing i see is that he wants to get to 3,000 hits i believe so maybe playing the role of a bench player will limit his at -bats and he may want to go be a DH where he gets a chance to hit more often I don’t know if Sheff ‘doesn’t want to play for the mets” he had his choices when Detroit cut him, weren’t the phillies going after him also?
