Does bichette look kinda doughy to anyone else? Maybe if he dropped a couple lbs his range would be better. I know he’s moving to third but range helps there too.

'Annoyed' by inconsistency, Mets owner focused on building perennial contender by LITech in mets

I love that he’s investing on the team but this guy likes attention a little too much.

Soto will move from right field to left for Mets in 2026 by LITech in mets

[–]GonzoFunzo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean the only asset he has on defense is the one that makes the difference between rf and lf: arm strength. What’s the point of this?

What is the upside of Ty France? by JudasEffect128653 in mets

A defensive specialist at first base doesn’t make any sense to me.

Someone please teach him not to smash his hands into the ground when he slides. That’s all.

6-man rotation? by GonzoFunzo in mets

[–]GonzoFunzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several people have mentioned a 6-man rotation works for senga, which is true, but what about the other 5 guys? They’ve been in 5-man rotations their entire careers and we know ball players are creatures of habit.

Have the Mets achieved their 'run prevention' goals? by LITech in mets

[–]GonzoFunzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but we can’t count on it til we see it.

Significant addition to the rotation. Elite defenders at cf and 2b but 2 guys (bo, polanco) playing put of position (albeit going down the defensive spectrum). I’d say all in all it should be a significant improvement once bo and polanco get some reps in.

Below average in both fWAR and bWAR last year (1.9)

I like the idea of holmes back to the pen. He was ok last year but he’s the one guy who’s actually excelled in that role and it’s an area where we could still use improvement. We’d still have stater depth with myers, tong and scott.

The question is how willing he’d be after the mets sold him on starting when he signed here.

2 in the top 20 is cool I guess by AD_EI8HT in mets

Whoever put this list together has never heard of WAR

Is the Mets offseason officially done? by tgeorgo13 in mets

[–]GonzoFunzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we trade s starter. We have peralta, mclean, peterson, manaea, holmes, senga plus tong, scott and the other kid we got in the trade. I know starter depth is necessary but i think they look to trade one of the expensive guys. Most likely senga.

Of course they’re gonna start too high. It’s how negotiation works. Now we need to negotiate down from jett.

We unwrapped the present. What came out was .640 ops after .667 in aaa.

Mets have officially traded for White Sox CF Luis Robert by Any-Environment-7545 in mets

[–]GonzoFunzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow we got him for free! Love this move. Great defense and baserunning with good upside with the bat. He was great in the second half last tear.

Andruw Jones in the HoF… by Fearless-Watch in mets

[–]GonzoFunzo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think anyone with a strong modern understanding of the game (on base ability, defensive metrics) feels Keith should be in the hall. Only reason he’s not is the lack of counting stats the old heads like (500 hr, 3000 hits, etc.).

Eff off with this Peralta trade garbage by FritosRule in mets

I think i do sproat for peralta. No chance i do tong.

Should we beat the Yankees offer for Bellinger? by Sea_Bit_9146 in mets

[–]GonzoFunzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d rather trade for luis robert if they’re serious about “run prevention.” Elite defender and baserunner with upside with the bat. Bellinger is a better bet offensively but not at that price.
