I know. It’s like watching a horror movie, with one hand over your face. Three words describing our upcoming off-season, Mets fans: duck-and-cover.

well, I disagree about JF (and doubt that it’ll cause too much regret in ATL), but I appreciate your optimism.

And yes, I have a time machine. No, you can’t use it.

IF ONLY Jeff Wilpon was on a terminable contract!

I agree with every single point. Sadly as easy as your post reads, the Mets will over complicate things and completely screw the pooch this offseason. Im very scared looking forward to this winter.

I did too, at first, but I think Jeff Wilpon will be here, arbitration eligible or not.

2 hours?! But I only wrote it 50 minutes ago! Do you have a time machine?! That’s AWESOME!

Eh, what can I say? I’m thorough to a fault.

I’ll admit that I’d like to wrap Frenchy up long-term, but you don’t have to… you can do arbitration year-to-year. But I really like the idea that the Francouer trade was one of the worst trades in Atlanta Brave history, and I want to see the Mets benefit from that for years to come.

And it will go down as that, one of the worst trades in Braves history. Write that down now; you heard it here first.

though it took two hours to read, I agree with almost everything you say here. Don’t give Jeff a contract though. Year by year in arbitration is the most the Mets should do with him.

Please don’t get rid of Murphy. He is one of the young faces on the Mets who seems to work very hard, and has upside potential. No he has not been stelar on deffense, but remember he was a third baseman up until he hit the majors.
