2009 25-Man Roster

AG/DC Feb 20 2008 10:30 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 16 2008 09:29 PM

This is likely going to be a very different team from the one I'm projecting now, and also a very different team from the one that'll open 2008. But look, they're all optionless, though Johnson is currently under a minor league contract.

Endy is under contract for '09. (You had him correctly listed in the first table).

I wonder if Omar will go after Derek Lowe. He's a FA and had a good season: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/p ... yerId=3640 However, he's 35.

Maybe because he's struck his girlfriend.

duan Sep 29 2008 08:06 AM

they're definitely going to pick up delgado's option. only issue is might they try and negotiate 2 year deal at lower average instead of picking it up. The interesting dilemmas are about guys who came up and succeeded, for me specifically Tatis and Murphy. I really think we should be getting Murphy to go and work out at 2nd base.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 29 2008 08:32 AM

I have to say it: I covet Sabathia. I don't know if he's a realistic possibility at all, but probably the most reliable way to improve the bullpen is to get a starter who will throw a lot of innings. It's not my money, and "the brand is sound."

AG/DC Sep 29 2008 08:44 AM

Murphy will be training at second in the offseason. So it has been written. In the meantime, I have him dressing with the outfielders. Sabathia is sticky. We set a baseline for a lefthanded ace when we signed Santana, and it was a high one. If somebody is going to pay over $20 mills per for seven or more years for a pitcher with that body, it may just have to be the Yankees. And I may just have to live with it. Every post-season start will change his price so it should be interesting.

sharpie Sep 29 2008 08:52 AM

I've been reading that CC wants to stay in the NL and that he wants to either stay with the Brewers or go to a California team. His wife is pushing hard for the latter.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 29 2008 08:53 AM

Which of the horrible guys are under contract for next year? Castillo, obviously, for another three. Schoenweis for one? Marlon Anderson for one? Duaner Sanchez?

AG/DC Sep 29 2008 09:00 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 16 2008 09:31 PM

I hadn't noted Anderson. That knocks out Anderson Machado, I guess. This is a clarifying exercise.

I can't wait for next season. The Mets are a playoff team. They were a playoff team this year as well. They were better than both the Brewers and the Phillies and without Willie Randolph around anymore to fuck up even one game, next year's Mets are already better off than last year.

Vic Sage Oct 31 2008 10:11 AM

it looks to me that the payroll next year for the current 25-man roster will be about $110M, without bringing in any big-ticket players. If Fred spent around $140M this year, is he willing to pony up another $30m next year, in his new stadium? I would hope so.

Edgy DC Oct 31 2008 10:23 AM

Great. I think, since Argenis is currently our only middle infield backup, that leaves Angel Pagan on the outside looking in. He has no options but (1) things will change, and (2) he could get a rehab assignment. It's still, of course, looking a lot like last year's roster --- at least on the offensive side. This mans that unless/until they clear Anderson and/or Castillo out of there, there's no room for Murphy in the infield no matter how hard one may wish it.

Back to Derek Lowe. That whole "I'm a Dodger now, but I'll show up in Boston to raise the flag with a Red Sox jersey on" was just weird to me. That day he was the King of all Douche Baggery.

duan Oct 31 2008 12:14 PM

I know he's 'out of jail' but i think putting Burgos in there isn't really realistic. lets put in anyone over him for now.

This mans that unless/until they clear Anderson and/or Castillo out of there, there's no room for Murphy in the infield no matter how hard one may wish it.[/quote:3fxab8e7] Disagree. There's absolutely room for Murphy as a second baseman, even if they want to keep Castillo and Anderson both on the roster next year. I think you are mislabeling Anderson as an infielder. In 2007-2008 with the Mets, Anderson logged a total of 37 innings in the infield, 34 of which were at first base. He had 256 innings in the outfield during the same time period.

Edgy DC Oct 31 2008 01:36 PM

Good enough. Marlon's your outfielder orn our next update. Though I submit that he's got the majority of his PT there due to the Mets overstocking on reserve infielders forcing many of them into outfield duty.

I think the Mets should just bite the bullet and cut Anderson. Tatis, while technically an infielder, gives me more confidence in the outfield that Anderson or Easley (or Valentin, Woodward, et al) did.

It's nice to get a Sean Green who spells his name with some respect. Reed is an interesting-looking fella --- a little like Joel Youngblood and a little like Darren Bragg.

With Green replacing Smith, is it premature to name a memorial roster spot for side-armers after my hero Terry Leach? Or are they so rare, the spot may not be possible to keep filled? You decide. Later

Edgy DC Dec 11 2008 07:02 AM

Did Terry Leach die?

MFS62 Dec 11 2008 07:57 AM

Oops. I guess when I first suggested the Donn Clendenon spot as "memorial" that's what it meant. But as other spots have been named, I didn't notice that they had been named for ex-Mets who had passed away. I just mentioned this as a place for sidearmers. But if it is for the dearly departed, it is highly premature. Later

Gwreck Dec 11 2008 08:43 AM

In addition to the (two?) starting pitcher(s) we need, the bench sure looks like it could use some improvement: Castro Anderson Reyes Reed Tatis or Murphy C'mon Omar. We can do better than that.

Vic Sage Dec 11 2008 09:24 AM

They need to replace Anderson and Reyes. I read they are looking at Alex Cora and Nick Punto as backup IF options.

It's gonna be a strange camp this year with the WBC. I suspect there will be a lot more games than usual featuring players who will not be seen again once the team heads north.

Some more infill added yesterday. Kyle Snyder is a veteran of some dreadful Kansas City staves, who turned in a good season in 2007 when the Sawx moved him full-time to the bullpen. Jon Switzer got hammered for the Devil Rays from 2003-2007, but always turned in good minor league numbers.

A few more additions, Edgy: http://www.rotoworld.com/content/player ... ?sport=MLB Kielty is only 32 and might ptovide a righty bat to the bench mix. And Omar has always like Armas, although its been a while since his ERA was decent. Later

Not having heard anything about any physical issues, I guess Ollie can be officially labeled as "back." History, I suppose, then suggests that the fifth rotation slot is in the hands of Tim Redding until camp performance suggests otherwise.
