I just don't think they see him as a permenant solution. I think they view him as trade bait. What if we need a SP? Church would be the first to go in any package whether for a guy like Sonnanstine or even a bigger name guy Church would most likely be in the deal. Might as well have tons of replacements in that case.

Who would have thought we would have had to or been able to rely on Tatis last year. Sure we are ok right now with Tatis, Murphy, Church and Sheff for 2 postions but who knows what the future holds.

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:03:19 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19489165 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19489077 Agreed, I think that if pitching after a month or two is still a problem you can bring in 1 guy and fix it. You can't bring in ANY 1 guy and fix the RISP problem. Not Manny, Dye or anyone else can do that. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:01:19 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19489077 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19489019 Right now to me it is Brock. Not because I think our offense is bad but because it is something that has been a problem for 2 years. Not the CLUTCH crap but bad situational hitting is the problem and has been since 2006. I think the SP will be fine and if not will be fixed but can you honestly say the RISP thing will?

Who did we fill in with last year? Can't count Pelfrey because he was there almost the entire season. Knight? Armas? Lima Jr? Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:51:36 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488629 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488542 I don't really see many rational fans wanting to blow up the roster, just change the order. Also could you not say the same thing about the rotation? That it's only been 2 weeks? Wasn't the rotation decent last year? and exactly how should it be worse?> Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:50:06 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488542 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488458 Speed does not do that much good in the 3rd spot, actually it can mean just as much in the 5th spot. However, it's not like when you switch Beltran and Wright that you are taking a guy that can't get on base and replacing him with one that can. What this really shows is that Murphy has to bat lower in the lineup so someone can drive in these runs. Slot Castillo 2nd and Murphy 6th.

Not someone who is protesting the poll. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:44:01 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488277 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488224 I think we have more depth this year than we did last year. Look who besides Pelfrey pitched games for us. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:42:36 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488224 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488125 I don't know but the way it is suggested and making post about how everyone is upset leads me to believe that some actually are concerned about it. It's like the ones that get all bent out of shape over a uniform color or a patch you can't see. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:40:30 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488125 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488000 You can this year. Otherwise teams would just use last year's record. Obviously the Phillies are the team to beat but right now they are being beat on as well. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:37:35 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19488000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487949 Then come on here and say it's ludicrous. Don't just pick something evey more so for the hell of voting. That's like voting for someone you know nothing about because you don't like McCain or Obama. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:36:24 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487949 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487494 Uh, ok maybe not. LOL. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:26:31 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487494 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487323 And Perez's ball could have very easily been strikes and the Mets probably win the game? You can't play that game in baseball. A walk is a walk if it's 4-0 or 4 balls 2 strikes and 18 fouls. An out is an out. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:23:16 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487323 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487186 I have not looked but considering how schedules stay basically the same each year, I would assume they play the easiest again this year up to the break. Lets see how that terrible pen, bad defense and heroic wins do in the 2nd half. Don't forget all those young pitchers will run out of gas then too. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:17:33 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487186 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487053 True but I think some of the length issues are on purpose. Not wanting to go over 100 pitches. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:14:21 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487053 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487020 Phillies and the Mets have both had walk off wins and neither are playing well. They both have questions surrounding them while the Marlins are hot and playing the Nats. They had the easiest schedule in the MLB last season before the break and everyone was saying watch out. All I am saying is be patient. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:13:40 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19487020 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19486911 That's not fair at all. Think back to 2007 with Ollie and Maine. Think that was because of offense? Or that Livan has won double digits his entire career just because of offense? And then to say that Pelfrey will not be good? Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:11:08 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/poll-biggest-worry/#IDComment19486911
