Think they'll take Delgado?

It's a shame there's about nil chance of Dunn becoming a Met. He's one of my favorite players.

 

I felt the same way when they mentioned this before Saturday's game. To make it even worse all the "interested" teams are the Mets main competition in the NL. I don't know why the Mets aren't interested in him however given that the 3 positions he can play are all positions where the Mets have old guys that don't figure to be around much longer.

 

This is the problem I believe Minaya has painted himself into. Delgado is the granddaddy of the Mets after Pedro. If you were able to package Delgado say with Mike Pelfrey and Joe Smith for Dunn, how does that sit with the other Hispanic players on the team like Pedro, Jose, and Carlos Beltran? Please don't say it doesn't matter. These guys travel with each other, eat out with each other and it was Delgado who gave Beltran a much needed kick in the pants last year to get started.

 

Same here. Everyone rides him for having so many K's, but I'm in the camp that thinks that K rate truly doesn't matter all that much. His OPS is always well above average and his OBP is amazing for a guy who consistently hits .230.

Could you guys imagine a 1-5 of Reyes, Lo Duca, Beltran, Wright, and Dunn? With the way Lo Duca's been hitting recently, that's probably the best 1-5 in baseball. If Green continues to hit once he's back, he'd fit in the 2 hole as well this season.

:sigh: Too bad it's just a pipe dream. I don't think that Minaya likes guys like Dunn, which is a shame.

 

I'm not sure what's not to like about a guy that gets on base a ton and hits for power.

 

I know this might sound ridiculous, but Delgado has picked it up, and I think he's getting a bad rap. I don't see how Dunn will improve our offense.

 

Green is in the lineup and Wright is batting cleanup tonight

 

The 47 point spike in OBP and .111 point jump in slugging might help just a wee bit.

 

Not only does it sound ridiculous, it is in fact ridiculous. Yes, he's hit a few extra base hits lately but his BA is still in the toilet and he's OBP'ing .244 for the month of June. I fail to see how he's "getting a bad rap".

 

I'm officially tired of Cohen's home run call on hits that are clearly not home runs, but we can't tell at home so we think its a sure home run. They have been especially annoying at times when the offense has struggled.

 

Welcome back Green! RBI single!!

 

My boy SEAN with the soft single to drive in Reyes. 1-0.

 

OMG! Speed demon Green steals second and goes to third on the throw!

 

And Green steals 2nd and moves to 3rd on the throw!!

 

Wecome back, Green. Way to start the game.

This is the money line-up right here.

 

And wow, Green looks good so far.

 

He's been REALLY bad with that this year, usually you can tell that it's not going out though just because of how the outfielder is reacting but on a foul ball its tough.

Green off to a nice start.

 

Beltran with a runner on 3rd and less than two outs. Sigh. Now he can't even get a break when he hits it hard.
