Comments on: Who Thinks Our Mets Need Another Base Stealer To Compliment Reyes…? http://sportsnewsnetwork.org/kansascityroyals/who-thinks-our-mets-need-another-base-stealer-to-compliment-reyes/ The latest news and info about the Kansas City Royals Mon, 24 May 2010 16:04:20 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: nba_gsw http://sportsnewsnetwork.org/kansascityroyals/who-thinks-our-mets-need-another-base-stealer-to-compliment-reyes/comment-page-1/#comment-3850 nba_gsw Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:46:06 +0000 http://sportsnewsnetwork.org/kansascityroyals/who-thinks-our-mets-need-another-base-stealer-to-compliment-reyes/#comment-3850 No, I think the Mets run a fair amount. Remember Wright and Beltran will steal their share of bases too. And I think Burnett will fit well in New York. Man, that starting rotation will rack up the strikeouts. But the negative is that Perez and Burnett are combustable. Imagine them being combustable in the playoffs next year, that could easily cost New York two games. Especially in a 5 games series, thats tough. Pelfrey as the closer would be kinda wierd. I think K-rod would be best. Im not a Mets fan, but Im not sure of the finances New York has. They seem to have a lotta players all around, not sure if they can give K-rod the 10 mil per season and aquire Burnett too. AJ will not come cheap, I assure you. Oh well. If this is the team, then this will be the team to beat. No, I think the Mets run a fair amount. Remember Wright and Beltran will steal their share of bases too.

Hes been too big of a liability. Burnett's not going to the Mets. I do think they'll make a run at K-Rod figuring that Wagner is out next year. And as for Pelfrey, he needs to stay in the rotation. Hes been the best starter this year for them other than Santana. And FYI they're not "our" Mets yeah looks ok. but the mets arent gonna re-sign Pedro. Hes been too big of a liability.

Gathright is not a asset to us since Beltran is fast and is a base stealer. We need a strong arm in the outfield like nate mccloud of the pirates. They will mostly not give them up, but he is a liable asset. Also, you have to think of backups we need decent back ups for bull pen issues. Heilman is having a terrible, he can't seem to get in the clutch, everytime he is handed a tough situation he seems to blow it. Martinez is decline everyone is in denial but face the facts the Mets don't need him anymore. Another aspect you have to look at Delgado's and oliver perez's contracts are done at this year at the same time. Due to the need of new players Minaya said they are picking one. Now if you were to pick one who would you choose. There for you can't have "both" in you imagination line up. An option would be how CC sabathia is also done with his contract in brewers and he could be a replacement for mets if they decide to help delgado over perez. K. Rod? Come on. we aren't gonna get a 56+ save pitcher without eit her losing a great deal of money or a great player.

He has an OBP of 301 and no power. His best OPS+ ever was an 88--this is poor. He is at 51 this year--that's almost pitcher range! He has pretty good range, but not much of an arm. Why would you want him? Gathright is awful! He has an OBP of 301 and no power. His best OPS+ ever was an 88–this is poor. He is at 51 this year–that’s almost pitcher range!
