Green Must Go

The Mets are going nowhere in the postseason with DelKingman at first base. He's been given nearly half a season to get his act together and other than an occassional decent game, has shown nothing. He consistenly kills rallies and gives the opposing team almost a guaranteed 4 outs per game. He doesn't even make "productive" outs by moving runners over or with sac flies. How far can they keep moving him down in the lineup? Why don't they at least get someone in here to platoon with him against righties, against which he is batting .194?

For June, he's batting .207, .229 OBP, with 10 lousy RBIs - absolutely unacceptable for a guy in the 4-5 hole making this kind of money. He's had 1 HR in the last 3 weeks.

If he's really injured, DL him and get someone else in here to replace him for a while. There's got to be a player out there that can do better than this clown. I'm tired of hearing about how he has to play because he makes so much money.

How is Carp doing?

We need more rookies on this team.

I think this is the case. There is no way this guy goes from being Carlos Delgado to Doug Mientzxcvbbvcxz in one half season.

I don't know why willie doesn't try delgado in the sixth hole again, not as any kind of punitive thing, but to get him to relax a little bit. it seemed to work in florida, then it was instantly "problem solved!" and delgado was moved up and almost immediately began struggling again.

I have no problem with green behind wright, and if you can get anything out of delgado, he's a pretty nice sixth hitter. hopefully you build his confidence back up to the point where you could justifiably move him up again.

Green Must Go

this won't help if he is not physically right

you're right, but we don't know that.

Green Must Go

We don't, but I bet the Mets do....

if delgado ever went on the DL and alou/milledge/endy ever come back, that would create some interesting lineups.

Yeah, huh? Got the lotto ##s for me?

Should the Indians find a new DH/1B too?

I heard from a reliable source that the Mets have soured on Delgado and have decided to go in a "different direction", and are looking to trade him here for a replacement.

Maybe, as long as they're winning, give him some games after the all-star break. For whatever reason, the break can change the fortunes of players and teams. If he still isn't hitting, Minaya must presume this is how "Delkingman's" season will play out. At that point, DL him if he's injured; but something MUST be done. Not sure what, tho.

Isn't that where Green and Schoenwuss came from?

Time to wake up and smell the coffee. We're going to have to live with Delgado for the rest of the season. Hope he comes out of it.

But again, the Mets org treats the DL like it is a contagious disease.

When does deciding on a player's injury stop becoming solely the decision of the player?
