Decisions

from New York Mets 101 · host James Burns

My wife and I are trying to pick out what kind of floor we want to put down in our kitchen. I have no trouble with the decision but my wife does. Different floor type, colors and patterns can turn into a very long process that at times I will admit can be a bit tiresome. But a decision will be made and I am sure it will be questioned from time to time. When August 1’st rolls around decisions are going to be made by many baseball teams in terms of whether or not they are going to be buyers or sellers. In other words are we in it or out of it. As far as the Mets go: My thoughts, they're sellers. Many of you might say it’s too early to tell, well no it’s not. On paper this team looks great on the field they just don’t have it. Eric Chavez has to take over as the hitting coach, and we have to get rid of the idea that analytics are the way to hit a baseball. I know Willie Mays and Tony Gwynn never used a computer. And when I hear Steve Cohen whispering to Bob Nightengale that he is going to hire David Stern as VP of President of Baseball operations can a rebuild be far off. We know the infield is set for the foreseeable future, but the other pieces like DH, the outfield, and one more big bat need some attention. Two things happened during the off season, Edwin Diaz ruptured his Patella Tendon, and we lost out on the Carlos Correa sweepstakes. Once that happened our confidence and our credibility diminished. So who goes? Vogelbach, Canha, Marte, Escobar, and Ottavino. Sorry kids this just isn't our year.
