Looks like Alou back to DL

njmetsfan · 06-12-2008, 01:32 PM

Alou basically said so on pre-game. Unbelievable.

Expect to see Raul Gonzalez shortly.

METSSC · 06-12-2008, 01:45 PM

I'd like to find out if Pagan is still alive

Medfordian Slip · 06-12-2008, 01:46 PM

I wonder if Omar is still pleased with his decision to resign him?

It was a "no-brainer" in some circles around here.

metfish · 06-12-2008, 02:01 PM

Just release him.

It was, as long as you had a suitable back-up (there lies Omar's big failure).

Mets bs · 06-12-2008, 02:03 PM

If insurance is going to pay his salary, no harm in leaving him on the DL.

I still say it was....when on the field he's worth every penny. The problem wasnt resigning him, the problem was going into the season with Chavez and Pagan as the primary backup.

I said back then I'd be OK with Alou if they signed a credible fourth OFer... of course they didn't.

If last June taught us one thing, it's that replacing even just one good player on this team with one bad player can cause the entire house of cards to collapse (when the key to success might just be being able to replace a good player with a not-horrible player). It's the same with counting on Duque - they need/needed to be prepared for him going down at the worst possible time - which he has, consistently; and they never have been.

I bet you they wait a week or so before placing him on the DL. That way they can play short. They love doing that.

S.O.P.

Signing him for under $8 mill WAS a no-brainer.

Not having a suitable 4th OF was a "no" brainer.

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.
