Commander -JB- Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Riggo#44 said: Ian Desmond, Jordan Zimmermann, Brandon Phillips... ....Bryce Harper.... Yes sir!!!! A few more forgotten ones... Aaron Crow opting not to sign with us after we took him 9th overall in 2009 draft. With that pick in the next draft we took Storen 10th overall. I guess, in the end, he kinda hosed us tho lol But still much more productive over the years than Crow who only lasted 4 seasons due to arm injuries. How about Jim Riggleman resigning? That was a blessing. Not that they had real intentions of locking him up long term anyway. Also the Bud Black incident. Folks were pissed that we underbid but it eventually led to Davey & a ring so screw it! One more... Letting Adam Dunn walk. He got 4 years / 56 mill from the White Sox. Sheesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Ian Desmond probably means no Trea Turner. Jordan Zimmermann means no Max Scherzer. Brandon Phillips means no Daniel Murphy. Adam Dunn means no Jayson Werth. We took Storen instead of Mike Trout...but wow, the rest of that 1st round sucked. The 2nd round produced a lot more talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 You never know though, in our organization Cespedes might have thrived. The Mets are a clown show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's possible, but he's also a head case that had problems in Oakland and Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is more a Cespedes thing than a Mets thing in his situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 No better way to beat the Mets than to chase their starters early and get to the bullpen. We often shell Matz, so I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
