Reds willing to trade Jay Bruce to the Mets for Zack Wheeler now. Worth watching over the next 20 hours.

is a fearsome bat in the lineup behind duda. He'll make everybody better just by being there.

I have looked at Mazzoni or Wieck's numbers in San Diego. Once they are gone, I dont care. Fulmer could win a Cy Young or 2 but i dont care about him anymore
I haven't looked at

Fulmer might be a great pitcher someday  
Ten Ton Hammer : 7/31/2015 4:26 pm : link
Noah Syndergaard is 22 years old and killing it

Jacob DeGrom is the second-best pitcher in the NL right now.

Matt Harvey.

If Fulmer makes an all star team in the future, who cares.
Wheeler has a great fastball  
Vanzetti : 7/31/2015 4:26 pm : link
Secondary stuff and command are not consistently there, but if he can still throw 97 with the same movement, he has the potential in time to be a 1/2 starter.

Even with the injury, I think Wheeler's chances of being a frontline starter are better than Fulmer's.

How about Reyes?
When all the Cubans were signed

we complained we are never in on any of the good ones. Now we have one and we are worried about next year if he's gone? Please explain?
Dont follow him  
Headhunter : 7/31/2015 4:28 pm : link
until he plays the Mets, I've seen him in the boxscores, but I dont care

Let me ask you this: Are you self-aware that you prioritize the present Mets over the future Mets much more than many posters here? It's not a criticism -- there is no right or wrong balance there. But at times you seem unable to even grasp why people are worried about what happens next, after the season is over.
Get off the "this stings" and all that garbage

We need a bat now. We can do something this year!! Let's ride this wave. Maybe we re sign cespedes maybe we don't but let's stop being typical met fans and relish the act that we have a legit chance right now. It's time to change the mindset. We traded a AA and a A pitcher for an allstar.

No disrespect I like you as a poster a lot, but I've been playing the"future" game for the last 5-6 years, that was the thing that kept me going, but finally have a team that can truly compete night in and night out this season feels different. I'll always be looking to the future, but I can now enjoy the present. Hope that answers you

Exactly!!! It's not doom and gloom and wait till next year anymore. Let's get into the dance and make a scene!!!
I just think getting to the 1st round is a real long shot  
Deej : 7/31/2015 4:51 pm : link
I didnt want to put a lot of eggs into the 2015 basket. One WC is spoken for, and getting to the WC is only 50% getting to the playoffs. Its mostly division or bust, and the Nats are just more talented.

Im not necessarily for or against this trade. I was more worried about giving 2, 3, 4 important pieces. But my preference was to get pieces back that had some term on them.
In a perfect world

I would also, as a consolation prize, Cepedes aint too shabby
runners on 2nd & 3rd no outs  
Headhunter : 7/31/2015 4:56 pm : link
would you rather have Kirk, Recker, Campbell coming up or Cepedes, Duda, TDA?

We might be able to coax Fred into opening his checkbook. Especially if Cespedes gets here and goes on a romp. That's what we have to hope for as Mets fans on both counts.


Now fire Collins so he doesn't hold the team back.


How much does Cadaver cost to sit on the DL now?
I mean I've

watched as recently as this season Eric Campbell hitting clean up. Muno Cecilini Kirk Recker Mayberry were nice guys, but would you pay to watch them hit?

Yes. For a Las Vegas 51's ticket.
