They just don't have the pieces to put together a good trade package that'll net them the kind of player(s) who'll put them over the top, let alone into the playoffs.<br /><br />And with all their cash tied up in too few players, a blockbuster FA signing ain't happening either.<br /><br />The Phillies are just too good right now, and the Braves seem to be positioning themselves to be serious contenders in 2010. If the Mets were smart, they'd be in rebuilding mode right now.RTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-7203205291204272542009-12-09T12:03:38.633-05:002009-12-09T12:03:38.633-05:00How the hell do the Yankees do it?!

The Yankees have the greatest propaganda apparatus set up since Joe Goebbels sold Germany that Hitler was a great guy. All they have to say is that their prospects are "can't miss" and every other GM beats a path to their door to trade with them. The Granderson deal is just the latest example. Ian Kennedy did squat when he was on the big team, but he was a key component in the trade. F-Mart had a brief, lousy stay with the Mets and now he is tainted, with whispers that he might not be as good as originally advertised. Has anyone even seen Austin Jackson play? Has there ever been a traded Yankee prospect that develops into a star that comes back to haunt them? The Yankees can swing these kind of deals with a farm system that is rated as mediocre, just like the Mets'. We need a propaganda guru, or at least a hypnotist.The Metmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18327128126246321561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-23844591729698652702009-12-09T10:08:15.411-05:002009-12-09T10:08:15.411-05:00Great points in your article.

Even ones that make no sense. It's almost like an Uncle Bernie Ponzi Scheme. They talk a lot, but they do nothing. Your analogy of the Toyotathon fits them exactly. And I'm sure that will be their excuse in the end.<br /><br />Someone said that Minaya has hardly been seen in the lobby of the hotel, reasoning that it must be because he's meeting with so many agents and GMs. I think if truth be known, he was probably just catching up on some sleep or dreaming up excuses why that won't get the job done.Trash Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217347925260653919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-4944949524654258152009-12-09T09:48:32.421-05:002009-12-09T09:48:32.421-05:00We, as fans, have every right to be negative with ...We, as fans, have every right to be negative with this organization. Many use the injuries of the past season as an excuse for the complete failure of this team but things could have been done to lessen the damage. Management screwed up when it came to our stadium, our team, and our players. They owe us explanations and some semblance of success. We owe them nothing (other than the portion of my 2009 season ticket plan that I'm still paying down on my credit card). We have every right to be negative unless they give us a compelling reason not to be. Some choose to live with that battered wife mentality of it will get better tomorrow but I need to see some action before I buy into it.Schnecknoreply@blogger.com
