The Mets are heading for an iceberg of 1912 proportions
herpes:
The article is off about a few things though. The Mets have 42 million coming off the books and 10 million in raises due so its 30 million to play around with. But they won't b/c rumor in NY is the Madoff scam hurt the Mets worse than they are letting known. And they may be forced to sell a percentage of the team. I wish it was all the entire team because the root of the Mets problems stem from the Wilpons. Since money won't be spent on the field once again it's time to blow up the front office, happens about every 5 season. Omar is a horrible GM one of the worst in baseball. But he is a excellent scout. I would reassign him to head of scouting latin america. I would fire Jerry Manual and bring back Bobby V to be manager. I would promote John Ricco to GM and bring in Gerry Hunsicker to be vice GM ala the Yankees in the mid 90's with Gene Michael and Brian Cashman. I would also replace the entire medical staff. The Mets farm isn't as bad as people make it out to be. The problem is they have a lot of talent in the lower levels but you really won't start hearing about them until the reach AA. Except Wilmer Flores, he is 17 and played in the future games. This kid is the real deal. 1st Basemen Ike Davis is beasting in AA right and would be considered a top 50 prospect if not for his horrible 2008 season. Jenry Megia is a top 50 prospect in baseball and is moving up quick on many scouts charts. And Brad Holt and Josh Thole are highly touted. And Fernando Martinez is still a highly touted prospect if he can ever stay on the field. Though besides that the farm is atrocious. It's not completely barren but it's close lol. Trading Reyes, Wright, and Santana would be a huge mistake. But as much as I like him the Mets should explore moving Carlos Beltran. It's a big contract and he isn't getting any younger. I think the right deal could come along where the Mets were able to fetch two everyday ball players and prospect for him.

Hey Cham, how come with this article you don't reply back.... oooo he's just saying this bc hes a met fan and he can act surprised next season. But when I've been saying the same thing for a minute now I am just saying it to act surprised when the Mets win lol.

that's the only section i'm reading. ;)
meanwhile most of this article talks about how Omar didn't find back up players in the most unfortunate event that starters went down.
but it says nowhere that coming into the season, with a full team, they weren't running favorites in the NL; meanwhile you signed them off in pre-season.
face it, you were embaressed about what's gone down in Septemeber the last two years & gave your usual depressed schpeel about being a Mets fan & wrote them off; knowing going into the off season, then signing the one thing that held you back last year, the bullpen (K-Rod & Putz) is what was suppose to lock up the NL East.
in the case they fell apart (which they did) you had the "i told you so" in your pocket.
the fact that last year it was your bullpen & you had the same team with the addition of arguably the best closer in Baseball, but somehow that wasn't going to change anything; like you KNEW everybody in your starting lineup & Putz was going to get injured is BEYOND impressive.
come on, i fed right into your usual hand; tell me off...again. ;)
