It might just be a coincidence but regardless if this is still a problem in June, i think you have to let him go...

Starting is a different story but he can give you 2-3 innings in relief for the games Ollie implodes Sun, 19 Apr 2009 13:37:48 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/19/quote-no/#IDComment19322246 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/19/quote-no/#IDComment19321968 but can you see the whole field? i mean i dont go to games to eat fast food and look at planes and the skyline Sun, 19 Apr 2009 13:35:13 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/19/quote-no/#IDComment19321968 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/five-facts-five-thoughts/#IDComment19142814 but he's a Mets fan.

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:00:16 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/five-facts-five-thoughts/#IDComment19142709 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/five-facts-five-thoughts/#IDComment19142432 but the difference between Ollie and Lowe is so great that they should have signed him regardless. The Braves will certainly get their money's worth out of Lowe...

I would do it in a second but then again most Mets fans would cry if Murphy got traded... Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:53:49 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/five-facts-five-thoughts/#IDComment19142331 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/five-facts-five-thoughts/#IDComment19142216 actually i dont see Murphy as anything special but i see the hype as the Mets develop a prospect once every 5 years or so. I would trade him for a good starter though as .290 8-12 HR is nothing special... Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:51:43 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/five-facts-five-thoughts/#IDComment19142216 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/five-facts-five-thoughts/#IDComment19142110 but to say that the Mets are a world series contender is just as foolish. you cant win with this rotation unless everyone pitches at their best at the same time and with Ollie and Maine it doesnt work like that...

He's batting like under .150 in AAA!!!

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:30:33 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/opinion-the-citi-field-criticizm/#IDComment19116429 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/opinion-the-citi-field-criticizm/#IDComment19116107 well personally when I go to the games I like to be able to see what's going on. Even when your watching on TV you can't tell if its fair or foul down the lines??? give me the cheaper ticket prices at Shea. I could care less about the overpriced food becasue i eat before the game. I dont care how good the shakeshack is its not better than Friday's or a place like that where I can get better food for half the price and i dont have to wait 30 minutes. I also could care less about dedicating the stadium to a player who has nothing to do with the Mets at all!!!!
