Default New York Mets 2012 Banter

Figured since I closed the 2011 thread down a few days ago, it was time to start the 2012 thread. Let the "ribbing" begin.

Not expecting a whole lot this year. Pitching still looks like it's gonna be an issue and the whole SS thing is looming. Initial thoughts are I am really hoping we aren't at the bottom of the NL East at the end of the year.

Sadly, I agree with you. I'm expecting an off season of inactivity or dollar store pickups. It'll suck to see Reyes in a Marlins uniform.

There has been some scuttle about bringing in Brad Lidge as a possible closer candidate... here we go again with contemplating bringing in another aging veteran that is past his prime.

JUST SAY NO!!!

Mac, the Mets can't afford anyone in their prime!!
Who do you want to close?
Pelfrey?

In unrelated news,
The Mets New Jersey's go on Sale Friday.
The New uniform is designed to resemble the original 1962 design.
Let's hope their record resembles the 62' team as well!

Brad Lidge? He was toast a couple of years ago. Maybe Armando Benitez is still available?

If MLB adds a third wild card maybe the Mets have a change at making the playoffs sometime within the next decade or so

Looks like Jose Reyes won't be a Met next year.

The Mets took care of an expected piece of business Wednesday, offering free-agent shortstop Jose Reyes arbitration. The Mets made the move to make sure that they would be compensated with 2012 Draft picks if Reyes, a Type A free agent, signs with another club. It is likely that Reyes will not accept the Mets' offer, because if he did, he would be agreeing to play for the Mets for another year with a pay raise from the $11 million he made in 2011 and would be forgoing the opportunity to secure a multiyear offer for a lot more money.

Well, were I the Mets, I wouldn't offer Reyes a multiyear megadeal either. When he's on the field, he's one of the best shortstops in the game, at the plate and with a glove. When he's on the DL, which has been much too much of the time, he's an overpaid cheerleader.

I would have to agree with this. BUT, I wonder if he'll just happen to be a bit healthier on a different ball team? I mean, was he truely happy playing for the Mets organization? Did he milk his time on the DL?

Pretty sad that the most news worthy off season Mets moves are around the backup catcher spot. SMH...
