The Edge of Seventeen: Lucas Duda

Edgy MD Feb 26 2017 10:21 PM

I hit 30 homers once and 27 another time. I lead all active Mets in KABOOM!s and I'm just 10 swings away from the all-time top 10 list. IMMORTALITY! But, I'm a big, enigmatic, goofy guy. And carrying around this much me is tough on the old joints. They hurt, like a lot. Blame who you want to blame. Maybe I shouldn't have played all that futile outfield and stuff. But now is now. Fortunately, it's early in spring training and there's time to catch up. And man, I'm raring to get go... OW! Shoulder! Shit! Is this how 2017 is going to look? Really? Let me know.

.247- 15- 50. His back isn't all the way back. Fewer than 100 games. Later

I'm working out most every day and watching what I eat They tell me that it's good for me, but I don't even care I know that it's crazy I know that it's nowhere But there is no denying that......I'll be hobbled by nagging injuries- 12 HR/48 RBI/ .250 in limited action.

David Wright is raising his hand in the back of the room. Sorry, I lead all active-at-the-end-of-last-season Mets in KABOOM!s. My mistake. My big, goofy mistake.

He'll OBP about .360 and hit about 23 HRs in 135 games. And the "fans" on Mets and SNY social media will continue to hate him. This will be his final year in Queens.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 27 2017 04:30 PM Re: The Edge of Seventeen: Lucas Duda

If he plays all year: 40-120 287/360/520. If not: 20-60-287/360/520 What'll probably happen: 10-30 287/360/520 Wouldn't be surprised if: 5-15 287/360/520

Ceetar Feb 27 2017 04:35 PM Re: The Edge of Seventeen: Lucas Duda

Do we buy into juiced ball theory last year, and does that continue this year? Because if so Duda's gonna break the Mets home run record. 2016 had the second most home runs ever, behind 2000. the 5th best ISO (and barely), behind '99-01, and '06. Duda missed much of the bump last year. .250/.350/.490 wRC+ of 129. 42 HR. 148 GP. 3.5 fWAR Drives in Cespedes 5 times in the NLDS. Makes the final put out of the world series, a 3 unassisted in the scorebook.

DL, wasted QO money.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 27 2017 06:02 PM Re: The Edge of Seventeen: Lucas Duda

Duda's not here on a QO.

46.75% more from him than in 2016 across the board, but it will be a struggle at times and the clamoring for others to be at first will be a distraction to some.

And how we feel about his departure if in fact it happens will be determined by how the next seven or eight months go. The 2018 infield could potentially look very different from 2017. Who leaves? Who comes back? It will be an intriguing story as the season progresses.

22 home runs, which isn't enough to save him as a Met. Godspeed, Lucas.

I have never seen this man play, and furthermore I don't think I ever will. I even went so far as to look him up on UMDB and see that at one time, he was a vital part of the team, but up until I looked, I thought he was a myth. So my prediction is, he's history Edit: Remember I only get to watch about 10 games a year, perhaps he's just never played in any game I've seen

Edgy MD May 02 2017 10:08 PM Re: The Edge of Seventeen: Lucas Duda

You've missed something special. To know Boo is to love him. And I don't want to presume, but I'd guess you'd love him more than most.

Benjamin Grimm May 02 2017 11:18 PM Re: The Edge of Seventeen: Lucas Duda

Does that mean, cooby, that you didn't watch the 2015 playoffs and World Series?

cooby May 02 2017 11:58 PM Re: The Edge of Seventeen: Lucas Duda

I know guys, you talk about this guy as a really special player but I have no recollection of ever seeing him play. I can't imagine missing a playoffs game. If he comes back and makes this team special, or for whatever reason memorable (even if they lose because winning is not a requirement for me to love a team) (always looking for ways to honor Dad), then I will embrace him as you all do. But honestly at this point, he is a complete blank to me.
