    Bring him up and let him play CF. Overall bottom line both offensively & defensively can't be any worse than the guys we're running out there now.
  2. dxpavelka
    Only three of the eight (barely) worth a hill of beans.

    I have no problem with Hicks and / or Rosario replacing the current clown show in CF. Hell I'd even run Pinto out there rather than current duo. He can't be any worse defensively in CF than he is behind the plate, can he? As far as Arcia, sending him down would most likely result in him putting up monster numbers in AAA and the fans howling about the fact that you sent him out in the first place. Just kidding about the Pinto bit. Maybe?

    I don't have a problem "making an example" of Arcia. But if the guy you're putting into the lineup to do so is Shane Robinson then you're "making an example" of the wrong guy. If Robinson is your alternative, the guy you "make an example" of needs to be either the guy who writes Robinson's name on the lineup card or the guy who put him on the roster. We've had a million Shane Robinson's over the years: Tommy Watkins, Darrin Jackson, Alex Cole, J.T. Bruett, Carmen Castillo, Andre David. Do I need to go on?

    And the Mets history of player acquisition is unparalleled.

    I'll give you Cuddyer but Kubel? Do you REALLY think we'd have been better off not letting him walk? And other than possibly Morneau can you name one guy we've traded prior to hitting free agency that even 15% of the fan base was clamoring to keep? And, yes it's easy to your our 20/20 hindsight and say we should have kept Morneau & Liriano but at the time we move them most fans were thinking we should have done so about 3 years sooner.

    I'd hardly call a pitcher saying he might rather be traded than pitch in relief a "temper tantrum." In some locales that might be called spirit or spunk.

    I hope that Santana being gone leads to a better chance that Meyer & May get to throw to some big league batters sooner rather than later.
  9. dxpavelka
    WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS??!
  10. dxpavelka
    We have a left fielder who will only strike out less than 200 times because he won't play 162 games. We have a CF platoon that will be lucky to strike out less than 100 times and put up a .625 OPS. Exactly who, that is ready to make quality major league plate appearances, is Hunter taking at bats away from?
  11. dxpavelka
    I beleive the quote said Santana would be playing CF by May 1 and made no reference to Buxton being up by May 1.
  12. dxpavelka
    If they can get guys out when the real bullets start flying I could care less about where they came from and what they did before they got here. I guess we'll find out soon enough. That's why they play the games.

    He has been doing this for 30 years so while his client list most likely doesn't number in the thousands it is certainly substantial. When players sign with him they expect a certain level of him being a pain in the ass to management and when management signs players he represents they expect it too. That expectation is quite often reflected in the draft position of those players as teams often drop his players down on their draft boards. He can represent his clients however he wants but the bottom line in this situation is that he doesn't have a leg to stand on. There is an old adage in the legal business that if the facts make your case you argue the facts, if the law makes your case you argue the law and if you've got neither you make a lot of noise. Let the noise making begin Mr. Boras.
  14. dxpavelka
    I don't. They have a choice.
  15. dxpavelka
    If the players union doesn't like it they can negoitate a different deal in the next CBA. Of course that likely means giving up something else that they won't want to give up.
  16. dxpavelka
    I always hope that.
  17. dxpavelka
    Kind of early to be focusing on what we CAN'T get out of this situation. Let it play out and see what happens.
  18. dxpavelka
    guess so
  19. dxpavelka
    If they don't it will because they have not forced the issue. That's on them.
  20. dxpavelka
    Pretty sure you're going to hear those paste-eaters even if Mauer puts up an MVP season.
  21. dxpavelka
    Of course he's likely to regress in some areas. Any player who performs for a season at an almost unheard of pace in a certain area is likely to regress in that area. Almost every player in the game will regress in one part of his game or another. Many will also progress in some parts of their games as well. Ulitmately the better players will be those that progress more than they regress. It's not rocket science kids. We can debate it all we want. But in the end all we can really do is let the games be played and see what happens. Enjoy the season.
  22. dxpavelka
    Not a big Nunez fan (especially defensively) but there are not a lot of better utility type options available. The minor league guys who project for that kind of role don't do much for me and a guy like Polanco needs to get consitent at bats for at least most of this year.
  23. dxpavelka
    Again I'm in the minority but I've been saying since Dozier started showing moderate power that if he remains a .242 hitter Rosario could push him from 2B.
  24. dxpavelka
    "The Twins had 13 pitchers who were average or better and yet they managed to finish almost at the bottom of the league in pitching." Maybe the new fangled metric is B.S.
  25. dxpavelka
    .294/.343.485 accross all levels does though.
