How long before Sexon becomes a Met

[url]http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20080617/SPORTS/623385744[/url] Seems like the new GM is going to shake things up a bit and cut him. He seems like the type of "veteran leadership" that Omar loves to have in the clubhouse...

The old "change of scenery"/"challenge" trade, anyone? I'd deal Delgado for Sexson.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 18 2008 12:19 PM

Don't be crazy. They;re talking about releasing him.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2008 12:19 PM

That would definitely be a challenge trade -- I just don't think it's one we'd come out ahead on.

i wouldn't. the guy had a .295 OBP last year and is repeating that disgusting stat again this season. He hasn't been good since 2005 (he was decent in 2006, but not as good as Delgado was that same year.) Granted Delgado is 5 years older but he's still the better player (and always has been.) Delgado's contract is up at the end of the year, as is Sexson's, though Delgado is owed $2 million more in salary this year and a $4 million buyout (I don't see a buyout on Sexson but I don't know for sure.)

What I remember of Sexon is a lot of swings and misses but when he connected he hit long home runs.

Yeah, now that I look at actual stats, maybe not so much. I apologize, Carlos.

I see what you mean.

Those flotation devices make me lol every time I see that picture.

Then there's the animated version of the photo.

Sexson as a platoon partner with Delgado? 2006 vs LHP: .204/.325/.438 (137 PA) 2007 vs LHP: .238/.333/.419 (120 PA) 2008 vs LHP: .349/.417/.581 (48 PA) I'm not impressed. I think we could do [url=http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=11018]better.[/url]

Then we'll get a good "clubhouse guy' like sexy, and push him back down to AAA.

Strikes out too much

Sexson just hasn't been any good for a while. If I had a reason to think the last year and a half wouldn't be indicative of how he'd hit if he came here, then maybe, but right now he looks completely finished.
