http://nybaseballdigest.com/?p=18756 A Digest of New York Baseball: We talk Mets, Yankees, and Minor League News, Opinion, Rumors, and Analysis Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:48:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 http://nybaseballdigest.com/?p=18756&cpage=1#comment-24016 Shamik Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:22:57 +0000 http://nybaseballdigest.com/?p=18756#comment-24016 I realize that the Mets are skittish about injuries, but this is ridiculous! Every pitcher/player out there has injuries, its the rule, not the exception! Its about properly managing players, preventing injuries, and building depth that matters. However, its clear that the Mets don't really value their medical/training staff, which, along with good scouting, is what is necessary to build depth in today's league. Face it, 162 games is just too much for the human body, especially now that there is no longer any "extra help" for these guys to come back from/play through injuries.

If they are going to win, this team needs to be beefed up in many areas and beefed up now. If not, then tear the whole thing down and start to rebuild. They are fooling no one into thinking that this team as currently constructed will compete with the Phils or even the Braves next year. Even the Nats are improving their team this offseason. Many of us Met fans who are season ticket holders are getting fed up. The way things are going so far, I for one will not be renewing unless the Mets actually show me something instead of perpetrating this fraud. The Mets need to stop being posers.
