i love mejia. with that slider i really don't see why he's not back to mid-rotation SP status. obviously the elbow surgery this offseason matters a lot, but the slider is a game changer. probably the second best pitch on the team right now. mets pitching is a beautiful thing tbh they have a ton of it. they need to do something with it to correct their one dimensional position players.

imo get stanton and ellsbury. that should be easy, yeah? I wouldn't want Ellsbury. Too much of an injury risk.

he's got ~3 years of his prime left and will hit FA with a 3-year WAR over 16 (for reference, higher than wright, much higher than cargo, nearly double stanton) and that'll include missing more than half of last year. i dunno, he's just sooooo good. i get the argument against it for sure, especially since he relies on speed, but damn he's a stud

He's a legit stud.

He's a legit stud. As someone who owns a #46 and a #2, he's overrated. I love having him but he's not a guy you pay 20 million. He's worth 14-15 tops. He's got no power it was a fluke.

Hard stats? The ones where his power HR/FB rate are in line with every other year but his 32 HR year this year? He's never hitting more than 10 again.

His speed is his only asset you don't pay someone approaching 30 big money for that anymore. Speed is the first thing to go these days.

Well offensively, he's still a monster in the field.

It's misinformation to talk like that.

The Mets could get Choo and Cruz for a little bit more than just Ellsbury. I think Seattle is gonna overpay for him.

No help. His HR/FB rate soared which means he was just getting meatballs all year and not missing them.

Choo would be better for the Mets. You guys need another high OBP guy bad.

We're the frontrunners for Jose Dariel Abreu right now, the Cuban defector. He's got massive power apparently.

Middlebrooks is probably at DH in 2 years with Cecchini at 3B and Bogaerts at SS.

LOL Choo is sooo overratedddddd. He's a platoon hitter, who mashes righties, but plays horrible defense. He would be a terrible fit for Citi.

Choo isn't overrated, he's not the best defensively but he's average at worst. He has a .372 OBP career vs LHP. He walks more vs them than righties even if he hits less average it almost evens out.
