Were they talking about Joe Panik?

Benjamin Grimm Feb 15 2018 02:03 PM

The Daily News reported today that the Mets were discussing a deal as recently as Tuesday that would send Lagares to San Francisco for Joe Panik. The deal doesn't look like it's going to happen, as the Giants would want more than just Lagares and the Mets decided not to go forward. Specific players aside, trading an outfielder for yet another infielder doesn't seem like the best way to balance the roster.

Hi. I'm Joe Panik. I'm another guy who doesn't hit any better than the infielders you already have. But hey! I don't make much money, so that's something!

I do like his name, though. It's the opposite of this guy's name:

Adding Panik at this point would be as redundant as that shoulder patch on the Giants' uniform that uses the exact same wordmark as the front of the uniform.

I'm guessing talk of the deal probably died with the Frazier signing.

Panik is a better fielder than Cabrera so if they can move Cabrera then bring Panik home! https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?p ... osition=2B Fielding ratings over the last 2 years: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx? ... &players=0

Tabloids would have a field day. "Panik Attack", "Time to Panik", "Panik Button", etc.

In that light, it's a decent idea, but I'm betting the MFY never gave the Mets anything worthwhile, which made the Panik trade moot.

He needs a bobblehead wearing a leisure suit under a spinning mirrorball: "Panik! at the Disco"

I kinda like Panik. I'm ready to move on from Cabrera, and I think, Cabrera is ready to move on from us.

Edgy MD Feb 16 2018 04:26 PM Re: Were they talking about Joe Panik?

There's something to that. Panik's a'ight. Wait, who the hell are you?

Benjamin Grimm Feb 16 2018 04:33 PM Re: Were they talking about Joe Panik?

I have a hunch that TJ Rivera (or Wilmer Flores) will replace Cabrera at second base. Next year if 2018 goes well (and Cabrera is productive) and next year if not. Or maybe they'll sign Daniel Murphy as a free agent.

The Tigers should sign him so there could be a Panik in Detroit.

Vic Sage Feb 16 2018 04:51 PM Re: Were they talking about Joe Panik?

Or he could sign with Seattle, which could get a sponsorship deal with the Space Needle, renaming the stadium after it... that way, you could have a Panik in Needle Park.

Sorry, I was at a meeting when you returned. Welcome Backman.

I think Douglas Adams has the last word.
