Tried to think about who's in better shape for next year --- Nieuwenhuis or Duda. Things could change, but right now, I'd say Nieuwie.

Howie said that John Lannan, the latest SP to make the best look bad, will probably be non-tendered. He was sent down this April after starting the last two Opening Days for WSH, was pissed off about it, and is only in the rotation to replace Strasburg. Given that he's from Long Island so he might want to play close to home for a discount, even for a lousy team, do you think that the Mets might sign him to a one-year deal? That would allow them to trade Niese, cheap and signed, to get help elsewhere? Or do they think they have "enough" starting pitching?
|
Ceetar Sep 13 2012 06:52 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
|
I can't read any scenario where replacing Niese with Lannan makes the Mets even equally as good but cheaper. (and will he actually be cheaper? I can't see him getting much less than the $5 on the market.)
|
bmfc1 Sep 13 2012 07:06 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
Even if Lannan makes the same salary, they could possibly get value from another team for Niese because he's under contract. A clever GM could do this... can Sandy?
|
Ceetar Sep 13 2012 07:09 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
|
possibly . I don't see them getting a Gio Gonzalez cache though. Niese is much better than Lannan, and strikes guys out which would be nice of the defense doesn't get appreciably better. Hard to see getting good value to fix that, unless you're confident in the other guys staying healthy/stepping up. I'd rather roll with the SP as a strength.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2012 07:19 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
I'm sure Lannan could wind up here but I wouldn't swap out Niese because of it.

Here's his paragraph on the Mets:
I agree about the pitching; it seems to have a high upside and could, if things go well, be real good real soon. I hope (but don't expect) that the Mets will be willing to take a one-year spike in their payroll; knowing that there's going to be a big dropoff in 2014 when Santana and Bay drop off the books. If that happens, then maybe they can add a hitter or two who will make them a bit more respectable in the short term.

The ONLY possible reason to add a 30 year old, cut many times, retread arm like Burke over younger players is that he has just learned the knuckleball. Otherwise, there is no reason to have done it. Those guys are a dime a dozen (the preferred Wilpon salary) throughout the year.

Ceetar Nov 21 2012 07:50 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |

depth. always depth. You gotta have relievers in the minors too. they're a dime a dozen, but that's why you stock them now, and promote the ones that do. But as JCL said, he changed arm motions last year (and I believe is a former Depodesta guy) for Baltimore and had good results in the minors, but Baltimore's bullpen was pretty good and he didn't get a shot.
|
seawolf17 Nov 21 2012 07:53 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
I think when it comes to these kinds of offseason roster decisions, you keep the guys who have enough value that you might use them this year -- like Burke -- that you don't want a competitor stealing from you, while not protecting the guys, like Aderlin Rodriguez and Jefry Marte, who teams will hopefully see as too young to make an impact RIGHT NOW.

Brewers looking to move Corey Hart, say the rumor mills, to free up cash for free-agent pitching. Hart is signed thru 2013 at $10M. I'd take a shot if all it took was a middlin' prospect or, say, Duda.

Don't be afraid of the guy in shades.
|
Vic Sage Dec 06 2012 11:36 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
How much more is Hart's .270/25hr/85rbi slash line worth than Duda's .255/20hr/75rbi full season average? It's worth more, certainly, but nearly $10m more? And as bad as Duda is in RF, Hart was moved to 1B last season. He's 31, and his speed has gone from 25 SBs a year, to 5-10 SBs. So again, he's better than Duda in RF also, even at this stage, but $10m better? I don't think so, on either count. So, if they're going to spend $10m more to upgrade RF (and i don't think they will), I'd hope they could do better than a slowing Cory Hart without having to trade assets, too.
|
Edgy MD Dec 06 2012 11:38 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
I'm not arguing for Hart --- believes me --- but the table above certainly suggests there's room in the Mets outfield for both of them.
|
Ceetar Dec 06 2012 12:28 PM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
|
Probably. but Hart won't play a bad left field(is Duda's position now anyway) and is a pretty good player with some power. Is it strictly $10 mill better? well, no, but they could do much worse. Especially for a one year guy which leaves you the option of getting someone else next year that might be more of a long term plan, and if Hart has a really good year you'd probably get a pick for him too.

Swan Swan H Dec 06 2012 01:52 PM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
Using James' predictions, I'm not sure how a guy with nine fewer homers and an OPS of .014 lower is a better hitter. Also telling is the PA - Duda is projected as a platoon-plus sort of guy, and Hart as an everyday guy. The missing 124 PA have to go to someone who is not likely to be as productive as Hart.

Noted above, the Mets added Royals washout prospect Jake Kuebler, though a quick look at his record suggests it'll take a lot more cases of Valley Fever before he ever suits up for the big team, but maybe his lean 6'5" frame makes him look like as good a bet as any to be more than roster filler for Bingo.

The real story here is Hicks. With his low number and big league contract, I'd figure the spot was his to lose, but I guess a bizarre spring training slash line of .116 / .333 / .279 // .612 is enough to lose it. That choice'll cost 'em a roster spot.

According to the Rubicon, Hawkins has been told that he's made the team. That would seem to suggest the last job up for grabs is the one I currently have Atchison sitting on. There's still some flux in the infield, as we have three walking wounded among them, but I think that's set, with Lutz perhaps going down when Murphy is ready.

Ceetar Mar 30 2013 06:18 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |

It's probably.. *gulp* Valdespin. Unless they think Turner is going to be ready but it doesn't seem like it (and sure, give the wounded ankle guy the backup SS role?) I imagine this means Kirk makes the team and it's Lutz the odd man out for Turner despite probably being a better fit.
|
Frayed Knot Mar 30 2013 06:43 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
I think they're counting on Turner not being out too long and will simply fake it until he gets there or bring up Quintanilla if the Redhead's going to take longer than expected. Larger point being that you NEED a backup SS no matter how your top guy is hitting - and at the moment our guy ain't hitting. You can get away without one for a short span at best.
|
Ceetar Mar 30 2013 06:52 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |

They may be thinking that Tejada (who has as many hits on the season as Mike Trout) will just play every game for at least a week and if he gets hurt or Turner isn't ready to be activated they'll reach for someone else.
|
Edgy MD Mar 30 2013 08:10 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |

I get half of that: Nieuwie makes the team and Valdy becomes and infielder again, but Crane Pool Central already had Lutz skating onto the roster. Who'm I missing on offense? Oh, right, I guess we're expecting Murph to make it after all. Brace for an update.

It almost seems like they want Valdespin as their 'pinch hitter' doesn't it? I'm not sure I'd start him over Duda, Nieuwenhuis or Baxter as a lefty..but does that mean he's the 'second' pinch hitter after they pull Duda or Nieuwenhuis (Or Baxter, despite his lack of evidence of splits) for Byrd or Cowgill?

Or, with the Mets sked to face three LH starters while the Dodgers are in town (and maybe then Hamels on Sunday when Philly comes by although it looks like we'll miss Lee), maybe Nieuwenhuis gets sent down instead.

This team just keeps redefining suck on an hourly basis.

Edgy MD Jun 09 2013 08:17 PM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
The definition they established after the first Marlin sweep still works for me.

Even so, at least now I'll find it more interesting. I was running out of reasons to watch.

Vic Sage Jun 10 2013 10:25 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
Satin, Edgin and Cowgill give you a reason to watch?

I think throwing Ike overboard is the tide that lifts all boats. It could not have been a happy workplace with that shit going on every day.

Well, I'd continue to watch anyway, even if they stuck with Ike (got that MLB.TV deal). I found myself asking myself why a lot lately. Why sit through this? I just like that they have changed things up. I was getting sick of watching the current cast of misfits. It was getting very difficult to witness. I am interested in what Satin can do at this level, at this time. Maybe see Muffy at first if they go that way. It's refreshed my interest. If I ever get desperate over anything to do with the Mets its a passing thing that lasts only a minute or so. I vent it. I'm not a believer in wasting time on negative emotions. And with this team, that's a good thing.

Got to think Cowgill is fortunate that this swapout had to (at least the Mets felt it had to) go down when it did. If it could have happened a couple of days earlier, the outfield almost certainly would have gone to Brown, who is absolutely all-world in the PCL this year, and seemingly has come off the DL has smoking hot as he was when he went onto it.

So with Turner down and Brown up, the backup shortstop is.... Valdespin? Wright? If anyone was thinking Young (as I was), he's never played an inning at short, majors or minors. Me, I'd play Recker there, if only to see him without a mask on for longer stretches.

Shortstop depth chart is likely:

Atchison back to the DL - did he ever really come off it?
|
Edgy MD Jun 19 2013 05:59 PM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
He pulls a Larry Yount, and gets credit for an appearance without actually participating.
|
Edgy MD Jun 21 2013 05:49 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
Sources say Niese is hitting the DL and Burke is coming back.

According to Mets.com, RHP Gonzalez Germen is on his way to NY. A corresponding move will made prior to Tuesday's game.
|
Edgy MD Jul 02 2013 08:09 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
Shoulda made this move at the start of the homestand. This pen is gassed.

A 25 y/o Right-hander, Germen is not exactly lighting things up out in the desert: 5.70 ERA, 1.34 WHiP, and before we blame it on the location, those numbers aren't too far off from what he was doing in Buffalo last year: 5.14, 1.26 Sounds like a temporary move at best.
Lyon? Tough to make a case for anyone getting the boot instead of him assuming there's not an injury we don't know of.

Edgy MD Jul 02 2013 08:21 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
I'm betting it comes from the offensive side. t's not like Valdy and Nieuwie are getting any PT. Lutz even less.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 02 2013 08:29 AM Re: Mets 2013 Roster |
I agree with both previous posts. It will probably be short-term, and I think a position player will go down. They probably just want a few more arms in the bullpen for the next week or so.
