GET THE PIECE OF CRAP McGimpy OFF MY TEAM NOW!!!!!

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound.

During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.

I agree but who do we get for 1b?

under the METSSC plan Wright moves to 1st and Arod is signed to play 3rd. Castillo is offered arb(no multiyear deal for gimpy) and the infield is set.

15 Day DL Alou

Remember when the Red Sox were all after Alex Rodriquez? Remember how they had a deal all stitched up but the union would not allow the contract to be restructured?

Remember how Boston lost out, had to walk away and the Yankees got Alexander Emanuel Rodriquez?

Remember how Boston has won 2 world series in the last 4 years after going winless for 86 years?

Yeah...lets get ARod because he just drips in championship aura.

Green Must Go

Green Must Go.....to 1st base!

Whos the guy dripping in it that you'd like to bring in...?

If this happened, You, my friend, will hate AROD more than anyone else on this board while he compiles K after K hitting behind Beltran in clutch situations and while they are missing the playoffs because the staff and bullpen couldnt hold a 15-2 lead. Additionally, when Reyes and AROD are consistently throwing balls over Wright's 5'10" frame, you'll be wishing that there was real first baseman playing over there.

Then we will all be subjected to your sloth and your "get that piece of crap Wright/AROD off "my" team RIGHT NOW bullshit.

The 24+1 term has never been more true than with AROD. Whether you like it or not, this team has a good core of youth and a good mix of veterans. The team can absolutely get better and it can do it without AROD, especially without AROD.

15 Day DL Alou

Your approach is much more solid, winning it all is irrelevant, having ARod and his stats is all that would matter.

For fantasy baseball this is a great move. No doubt. But bringing him in, because there is nothing "apparently" better to do is just silly.

Sports Doctor

Normally, I agree with most of your baseball views, but somehow Im missing something. Get me to the post season and then Ill worry about that. I dont see how having AROD hinders improving the team in other areas, especially in middle relief where guys don't tend to make a lot of money. Also, getting a huge bat like AROD to replace Delgado's role that was absent all year, and may even allow us to deal Delgado for a solid middle reliever. You can't build for the post season if you can't get there.

Mule

I thought we wanted to jetison Lo Duca?

Also, I'd like to point out that I'm kicking Carlos Silva's ass 3 to naught.

While I agree that the bullpen in particular needs a lot of attention, I disagree on the "clutch situations" portion of the argument. I just don't buy into "clutchness" as to me it's just a byproduct of how often a player gets on base. Beltran for one can appear to not be "clutch" because he's not an extremely high average hitter. He may get on base pretty well, and in certain instances keep things going for the next hitter, but the fact that he doesn't hit to a very high average can tend to make it look like he doesn't come through in "the clutch".

A-Rod did quite well during the regular season in all sorts of "clutch" situations, he had to with those stats. If you want to argue the point about the post season, yeah, he's had some stinkers since the last 4 games of the '04 ALCS, but it still seems like too small of a sample size to be concerned about.

Not that I'm entirely advocating aquiring him. I'd only be for it if the Wilpons are willing to allow operations regarding the budget to remain unrestricted afterwards as well as acknowledge the need to fix the issues with the team.
