Good point. Gotta cut him off around 170-180 right?
He is 2 years removed from surgery, I can't see why you would limit his innings?
He only seems to be getting stronger and obviously showing no signs of a dead arm or laboring.
Good question, If they do keep pitching him all year I think that proves that they don't plan on extending him past next season otherwise why push your SP in a lost season?

About Wheeler's innings?? The guy missed 2.5 years and only threw 86 innings last year. He’s already at 140. We can’t possibly keep pitching him all year, can we?

Being 2 years removed from surgery has very little to do with increasing a pitchers workload slowly.

Who knows. We don’t even know who our future GM is or what his direction will be. The whole thing gives me agita. I’d be more than fine capping him at 160-170. That’s pushing it as it is IMO.
+1. I was being generous.
Value to the Mets or other teams? No chance anybody has interest in
Bruce or Vargas. Too limited in talent and performance and too much money left.
Frazier probably is here next year unless a new GM really wants to shake things up.

Would love for Frazier, Bruce, and Vargas to reclaim some value heading into the offseason...

If any of them bounce back they all likely regain at least some value. Frazier on a one year deal is likely attractive for a team... I definitely could see Bruce having value if he finished strong with only 2 years left...He's at least a DH for many teams in the AL. Not saying we get huge return or anything... and we may even have to eat some salary.. but I dont think it's impossible these guys could be unloaded if we find upgrades elsewhere.
If Bruce proves he is healthy and is the same hitter he was in 2017, his contract isnt expensive at all. Premium hitters get 30 million a year in 2019. Some team is going to scoff at 12 million AAV for 2 years for a 30-35 HR bat in their DH spot?? I seriously doubt it.. Obviously its a huge if that he can not only come back healthy and catch fire... and I also mentioned kicking in some money also if we had to.. but you knew that.
Small sample, but still better than I expected.
Giants, LOL, obviously I mean the Mets.

Yea I figured he'd have some adjustment period and hopefully flash enough to get a head start on a big year next year. Improving on his A+ numbers is impressive however you slice it. I wonder if maybe his A+ numbers were hurt by being on a crappy team. He led them in every offensive category. Bing isn't a murderers row but Toffey has been good, Nido, a few others. I can't believe Gimenez isn't a universal top 50 prospect right now.
TJS sucks.
