NFT: Mets' David Peterson

?

at least at some point.

otherwise even with Bauer that rotation is thin

They have computer generated fans in the stands they show from time to time and it’s just creepy.

Peterson definitely deserves serious #3 next spring

did they have Chipper Jones there?

Hope that isn’t the case next season. The Mets need to STOP being the home for cheap reclamation projects.

Matz needs to go away. He’s just a bad pitcher at this point. It’s too bad because he has the stuff, just not the mentality.

Yes and they showed it - but he and Shea aren’t moving

I'm not watching but I saw a couple people tweet about it and wasn't sure what they were talking about.

sounds weird.

In any rotation.
Mets need to be active in the off season since they have traded away most of the young arms.

Hardly anyone thought Gimenez would be with the big club until next year. Is there anyone from last year's high-A or AA teams who could jump to the majors. Probably not — but we have no way to know.

I hope we see something better from Kilome next year.

Kevin Smith might be someone to keep an eye on.

Oh, wait, the Mets minor league pitcher of the year was traded for a shitty middle reliever.

Gave up a homer. He didn’t walk anyone, hit anyone, or give up a string of hits. Thankfully no quick pitches tonight.

Can’t be happier for a better guy than Dom. All those years being called fat, lazy and not enough power. Love him!!!

agree, such an easy guy to root for and his defense is much better than advertised.

He's definitely not a "singles" hitter. his OPS is over 1.

Gotta hope for the DH next year. Alsonso has played himself to the bench without it

The Mets sure could use it. I was always opposed to the DH in the NL but I think I’m ready for it.

They should, which means Manfred will probably find a way to screw it up.

Me too. And I would be shocked if they dont keep it. Now extra innings....

I think the cats out of the bag and the NL will keep the DH going forward.

By the way, with Cohen in the picture, from everything I’ve read about him, he’s going to be way more focused on free agent signings than the farm system. I don’t see him wanting to wait for young talent to develop, at least not in the beginning of his ownership. He’s going to want the franchise to become more valuable quickly and that means winning quickly. The days of signing on the cheap is over. I just hope there are no problems getting his approved. These are still the Mets.

Yeah gotta lock Noah up. Can't have another Wheeler situation.

Exactly. Matz needs to go too.

A Steven Matz for Mike Foltynewicz trade makes a lot sense. Two talented but mentally weak pitchers who could use a change of scenery.

Next season:
Degrom/Bauer/Peterson/Lugo/5th starter (placeholder for Syndergaard's return)

Matz or Wacha or whoever that gets skipped whenever there is an off day. No need to break the bank for a Stroman.

Thomas Szapucki this season?

more important than getting max innings out of him as a starter.

just sign some starters behind JDG/Thor/Peterson. Tender Stroman and add someone with upside like Taijuan Walker. Maybe trade JDD or Rosario for a young SP with years of control and upside as well. Extend Syndergaard if you can too.

BVW emptied out the farm of SP so they need to add young talent desperately to be ready in a few years when JDG inevitably comes back to earth even a little bit.

Agree with this approach. Bauer would be great, but I wouldn’t bank on getting the top available starter.

Peterson has been a revelation. I expected Dom to be good (although not this good), but Peterson has been a revelation. JDG, Stroman, Peterson, a guy like Walker, and Thor/placeholder until he comes back would suffice. They could have Matz do it is he can get back to even last year, Puck, or Ramirez has looked good.

I would go try and get Bauer though. Would cost less than the bad money they have coming off the books. JDG, Bauer, Thor, Peterson, and Stroman/Walker would be fantastic

along with Wacha and Porcello.
Matz is on Arb-3

re-sign him for the right price short term. This rotation is desperate/ Never should have let Wheeler get away---and to the fucking Phils no less.

God, I hate the Wilponzis.

So uncharacteristic of him and I was waiting to get the injury excuse but we got nothing. I suppose he just had a bad day but it was ugly. Almost like he was tipping his pitches.

actually been underwhelmed by Peterson until this last start. Even with that start his FIP is 4.78, 4.85 BB/9. Going into next year with him as the 4 or 5 is fine but I'm not ready to pencil him in for anything more. Matz flat stinks.

know how much is Callaway but Bundy and Heaney have both been great this year for the Angels.

gave away one of the Mets better relief prospects for horrendous Jurado. Steve Villines.

the Mets are, predictably, getting their clocks absolutely cleaned on the PTBNLs so far

Gonzalez, hailing from the Dominican Republic, signed for a $250K bonus as a member of the Mets’ 2019-20 international signing class. With the 2020 minor league season canceled, Gonzalez has yet to officially begin his pro career, and he wasn’t part of the group working out at the Mets’ alternate training site. Baseball America’s Ben Badler described Gonzalez as having “a good chance to stay at shortstop” since he has “a quick first step, covers ground well and has a strong arm for the position.”

The Mets have a surplus of young infielders, he's the logical one to trade. Rosario and Gimenez in Queens; Mauricio, Newton, Vientos and Baty in the low minors. And, honestly, I think Guillorme could start for a lot of teams. He's been kind of a sleeper.

you the PTBNL weren't going to be system fodder.
