It's About Time, Fred
Imagine this: An employer pays more than 90% of his competition for employees to ensure he gets the cream of the crop in terms of talent for his company. But for many years, the company not only tanks but is a public embarrassment for both its failures on and off the field.  Finally, the boss of the company expresses some displeasure at the employees - employees he can’t fire because they...

Mets Fans: Watch Your Future Centerfielder Tonight...
Although he was a third-round pick by the Mets just three years ago, one prospect that seems to not be getting the attention he deserves is Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Over the past few years, the top outfield prospect has always been Fernando Martinez and rightly so. Injuries have definitely slowed his development as a well-rounded player, but it’s hard to argue with the potential the kid has.On the flip...

Say Goodbye to Wright and Santana Too?
If Jose Reyes isn’t on the Mets next season, leaving via free agency or traded for prospects, the front office should seriously consider getting rid of David Wright, Johan Santana, and others too. Let’s take a step back. Four weeks ago, I dished out my thoughts on the merits of trading vs. keeping Jose Reyes.

Giants Have Internal Discussions About Trading For... →
As much as it pains me to say, I don’t see the Mets paying Reyes. He’s reportedly targeting a seven-year, $142 million deal similar to what the Red Sox paid Carl Crawford this winter, but will he get it and what team will pay him that much?  Then again…who would have thought the Nationals would have paid $126 million over seven years for Jayson Werth?
