Travis Snider becomes god and beasts like crazy like Braun...
Aaron Hill plays like Aaron hill.
I mean at that point we may have one of the best pitching staffs in the AL, the best fielding in the AL, and good hitting, I mean couldn't we be competitive.
In 2004 this same group was one of the best offense in the league, then we suddenly became the worst due to injuries and bad luck.
Or am I just deluding my self?
along with 30+ steals is a high possibilityOriginally Posted by SCuse7
BJ Upton finds his homerun stroke again.
30+
Mets didn't outbid anyone, shoot nobody even made an offer for K-Rod because the market for closers wasn't there, so the Mets played the waiting game, made a low offer, and K-Rod took it.
Of course CC was expensive but nobody even made an offer to the guy yet, Yankees outbid themselves playing hardball and once he said he wanted to pitch for a West Coast team they had to up their original price by 20M (and dude STILL didn't even get an offer yet from anyone). I don't know how you can compare the two scenarios. Mets weren't desperate, the Yankees were. Burnett is another example of a desperate move, a move that needed to be made (although he is an injury prone avg pitcher) but still a desperate one.
Agreed. The Mets played the free agent market well this off season. They had a need, late inning relief, and they went about fixing that need bygetting Rodriguez and Putz.
In the end this off season the tale was how it was a buyers market, teams had the upper hand. Unless if you are talking about the Yankees bidding againstthemselves, and the Giants foolishly rushing to give Edgar Renteria a 2 year $18 million deal. If they would have waited, they could have got him at a cheaperrate.
Predictions:
AL East: Tampa Bay Rays
AL Central: Minnesota Twins (Team on the rise: Kansas City Royals)
AL West: Oakland A's (Team on the rise: Texas Rangers)
Wild Card: Boston Red Sox
ALDS
Rays vs. A's
Twins vs. Red Sox
ALCS
Rays vs. Twins
NL East: Philadelphia Phillies
NL Central: Chicago Cubs
NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers
Wild Card: New York Mets
NLDS
Phillies vs. Cubs
Dodgers vs. Mets
I don't see any reason why he wont be as consistent as usual.Originally Posted by JPZx
So how's Lance Berkman going to do this year? He didn't have a very good September but for a season 29 HRs and 106 RBI not occurring in the Steroid Era is pretty good
He also had a .312 BA..so how's he going to do?

HR #s
2006 w/ ARZ: 9
2007 w/ ARZ: 5
2008 w/ CWS: 36
Granted, he only played 57 major league games in 2006 and 81 in 2007 but still...talk about a breakout year. If he had played during September last year he potentially could've gotten to 45
lol lets hope they dont pull that againOriginally Posted by RetroBaller
Houston Astros will have a horrible 1st half then have a 2nd half run to give me false hope again
