Memorial Day is one of those points in a baseball season that many analysts tout as the beginning of summer and the first real point to perform a real evaluation of a team. Â Today is Memorial Day, and the Mets are playing an extremely late night game in San Diego. They sit at just one game above .500 on the season, albeit right in the playoff hunt.
There are quite a few things for the Mets to adjust right now, many of them almost a given to make the team better. Â I’ve discussed some of them here, and at Optimistic Mets Fan, and on Twitter. Â Gary Matthews Jr. no longer has a place on this team. Â The manager is a disaster. Â Certain bullpen members are overworked. Â The team has no obvious plan regarding what to do with Oliver Perez. Â David Wright’s swing seems fairly screwed up. Â Luis Castillo has a bone bruise that may or may not require some extended rest. Â Jeff Francoeur may or may not be capable of being a major league player, particularly against right-handed pitchers. Â There is always the Jennry Mejia situation.
Still, the Mets are in a good position. Â They’ve learned a lot about some relievers, some starters. They’ve learned which bench guys are most trustworthy for what roles, who’s having a good year, who’s struggling, and what attitude this team goes into games with. Â They’ve learned Reyes is going to be just fine.
Reyes, the guy whose success supposedly most closely dictates the Mets success is going to be just fine. Â He got off to an awfully slow start off the ’09 injury and the thyroid issue of Spring Training. Â As we round out May, Jose Reyes has raised his batting average to .257. Â He is hitting .500 over the last seven days with a 1.343 OPS. Â Over the last two weeks he’s hitting .358 with a .902 OPS, 5 XBH, and 9 runs scored. Â The only thing he’s not doing is walking, only drawing one unintentional walk over the last two weeks, but when you’re seeing the ball as well as he is you want to make things happen, not necessary take walks.
Another big cause for optimism is Angel Pagan. Â While the news on Beltran has not gotten better all season, his replacement is performing great. Â There was a post put out recently that shows Angel Pagan as one of the top handful of players in the league according to WAR (Wins Above Replacement). Â While the Mets need Carlos Beltran back, Angel Pagan is helping to make sure the Mets are in contention when he does return. Â He’s hitting .295 with 29 runs scored, 22 RBIs and 9 stolen bases.
Last week the Mets dominated the supposedly top of the line offense of the Philadelphia Phillies, shutting them out in three straight games. Â The Mets pitching has been very good for a while now, excepting the reliever-as-starter patchwork game on Saturday when Fernando Nieve, one of those overworked relievers, made a start in Milwaukee.
The Mets are only 2.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves, who are winning 6-0 over the Phillies right now to take over first place. Â This is definitely in the division race, and now that Jose Reyes and Jason Bay have overcome early season slumps, and the pitching, especially Pelfrey and Santana, has been so good, it’s unlikely the Mets will sustain any long losing streaks, and can begin to make up ground and stay at or around first place. Â The recent play of the Phillies has helped suggest that they will live and die with their offense, and that their offense will struggle. Â I don’t think they’ll get as high as the 93 wins they had last year, which means the division will remain attainable for the Mets the entire season if they play well.

I’m very glad you gave some props to Pagan, they are well earned. I shudder to think where this team might be without him.

hey, soemthing besides just Ollie talk. Nice.
But you make a good point. Even with some “issues”, the mets still have a bunch of talent, and the potential for a good season.
But, the quicker they address the problem areas, the better they will be.
Obvious something has to happen with ollie. But I think (hope?) that the next move (well, I HOPE the next move is canning Jerry, but that aint happening) is to release GM. plenty of time devoted to that failed experiment.
however, I still feel they are goin to make the playoffs.
and man, what the hell happened to the philly offense?

Phillies have offense? what?
I’m sorry, “Great” offenses don’t slump this long. and one injury (Rollins) is not a deciding factor.
Memorial day is one of those classic evaluation points, and I’m hoping the Mets, despite a lot of steps into the 21st century this year (loving that they email me the lineup and postgame notes and press releases and media guide), do use this marker as a time to make some changes. Jesus Feliciano is hitting more than twice what Matthews is.

In AAA as a 31 year old guy with no MLB ab’s. A guy that was a minor league FA and no one else signed him. While I don’t care about GMJR either way, lets not make Feliciano into a budding prospect. You might gets some Santos type of return in the beginning there is a better chance you won’t even get that.
stickguy
5/31/2010-4:43pm at 4:43 pm (UTC -4)
well, I won’t hold his age or FA status against him. Lots of guys fall through the cracks for one reason or another, and some even get called up at an “old” age, and actually perform (remember Coste?)
All I can really do is look at what he is doing right now, and decide that he gives better odds of being useful than GM does.
Than again, my 19 YO that has only played slow pitch intramural softball since his babe ruth career ended (he is a pretty good 2B though…) just might be more useful. And he did play CF on the softball team that won the championship this year!

I hate this attitude. And I understand the Val Pascucci or Mike Carps of the world generally suck, but Feliciano has been doing it for longer than that, and the guy we’re harping on to replace just flat out sucks.
It’s not like you’d regret replacing GMJ. Feliciano is hot _right now_ and i know it’s not hte minors, but big deal. If two weeks from now he sucks just as much as GMJ, try the next guy. Or we’d be that much closer to Beltran’s return. Or he’d actually hit, because there are dozens of guys out there that can be servicable if only given the chance. There is very little chance that by making this move we’d look back and say it actually made the team worse.

Then you lose depth. GMJR is not hurting anyone nor helping anyone. Bringing up JF for GMJR’s 2 AB’s a week is pointless to me.
stickguy
5/31/2010-4:58pm at 4:58 pm (UTC -4)
unless a viable player would get a few more ABs a week?
and don’t discount the value of those 2 ABs either!
I see the point about not burning up all your depth, but GM doesn’t qualify as depth at this point. More like the trash that needs to get taken to the curb. Not like keeping it in the garage for an extra week is going to make it smell any better!

5/31/2010-5:00pm at 5:00 pm (UTC -4)
I would agree if I had any reason to think that a career .285 .335 .346 .681 in the minor leagues had a good chance of being any better. GMJR is not currently a problem, terrible yes, problem no.
stickguy
5/31/2010-5:45pm at 5:45 pm (UTC -4)
well, I have no idea why, but feliciano for the last few years has been much better than that.
and I really don’t see why they should keep anyone on the roster who is, in your words, terrible (and my words, worthless), when they have a reasonable alrenative.
As mush as I want they to resolve some of the big problems, they can still try and fix some of the smaller one.

5/31/2010-5:43pm at 5:43 pm (UTC -4)
The only point I’m going to make here in Ceeter’s defense of his opinion is GMJ has 32 PH appearances – of which he has 19 (19!) strikeouts, I believe 2 walks and 2 hits.
If all he’s going to be on this team is a PH, we have to do better than that…..
trs86
5/31/2010-4:59pm at 4:59 pm (UTC -4)
Feliciano is not even Chris Carter Ceetar. He has a career MILB line of .285 .335 .346 .681. This is the only season he has ever even had an OPS over .800. What makes us think he would even be as good as GMJR?
trs86
5/31/2010-5:02pm at 5:02 pm (UTC -4)
6 PA in the last 14 days. And yeah they could use another guy more if called up but why would they? Would you want the LH Feliciano getting PH AB’s over Carter?
ceetar
5/31/2010-5:10pm at 5:10 pm (UTC -4)
That line, even if you take off 25% is better than GMJ. and that’s assuming that his hot streak right now would not translate over to MLB. Just because GMJ is not a ‘problem’ does not mean you may win more games by a simple upgrade. How often does one more hit = 1 more win? I don’t think you sacrifice any depth. Even if someone actually picks up Matthews or he retires and doesn’t go to Buffalo. There are plenty of outfielders in the minors.
trs86
5/31/2010-5:15pm at 5:15 pm (UTC -4)
.285 .335 .346 .681 Ceetar.
We are talking about releasing GMJR and his 3 PA a week for a guy that has a career minor league OPS under .700. Why are we even wasting our time?
ceetar
5/31/2010-5:26pm at 5:26 pm (UTC -4)
Because you can’t get worse, but you may get better.
Those are career numbers, how about his numbers over the last two seasons? Maybe we get a hot week out of him. a couple of big hits, better clubhouse presence, maybe he knows a good joke.
3PA a week is what, 50PA the rest of the way? And right now it feels like that’ll be 3-4 extra hits ,and maybe one of them actually makes a difference in the game, resulting in one more win, which could be the difference in the division?
I relaly see no way it could possibly make the team worse. but a chance, even if you think it’s a small one and Feliciano will likely put up crap numbers, is worth replacing crappy parts.
on a similar note, Pat Misch sucks. Stoner sucks. What are the chances these guys actually put up better numbers than Perez?
trs86
5/31/2010-5:33pm at 5:33 pm (UTC -4)
Actually Misch has proven that he can produce better numbers in the majors. Under 5.00 ERA in the majors and a 3.50 ERA in the minors with a 1.24 WHIP.
Stoner also has decent career numbers in the minors with an ERA under 4.00 and a low WHIP. I have no idea what he would do as a starter in the majors as he has not done it.
If either of these guys replaced Perez, which they did not, they would have much more of an impact than a 3PA per week guy.
Again, I just don’t see the point.
How could it make the team worse? Not sure, why would it make the team better? What’s the purpose?
Mr North Jersey
5/31/2010-5:13pm at 5:13 pm (UTC -4)
GMJ is a piece of shit. His only purpose is to be a decent defensive Center Fielder when Pagan is not in the game.
He has no other purpose and if he ever showed that he couldnt play CF he’d be cut immediately.
His .179/BA and .258/OBP is a joke.
If Pagan ever got hurt and the Mets needed someone to play CF everyday it still would not be GMJ. The Mets would either trade or bring up Feliciano or Capt Kirk because there is no way you can carry that .179/BA in the lineup.
trs86
5/31/2010-5:18pm at 5:18 pm (UTC -4)
Actually they would most likely just be screwed.
Easy with the language today.
My point is not to defend GMJR but say that releasing his 3 PA a week for a guy that has an OPS under .700 in the minors is a pointless debate.
trs86
5/31/2010-5:22pm at 5:22 pm (UTC -4)
Looking at it, Pridie would be the logical choice as he at least has an OPS over .700 for his career and has actually played more than 5 games in CF this season.
ceetar
5/31/2010-5:36pm at 5:36 pm (UTC -4)
Pridie healthy again yet? That’d be fine.
Oliver has no impact on the team right now right? He’s a 1ip a week guy, so why replace him? Is the last bullpen guy worth more than the last bench guy? How about we release GMJ and bring up another pitcher instead?
Mr North Jersey
5/31/2010-5:28pm at 5:28 pm (UTC -4)
Sorry GMJ is a piece of POOP/DUDU/CACA whatever works best for you.
I understand you and ceet are discussing the merits of cutting GMJ for Feliciano or not and I will refrain from getting into that debate and let you guys enjoy that by yourself.
I simply wanted to say what I thought of GMJ and why he is on the team.
trs86
5/31/2010-5:35pm at 5:35 pm (UTC -4)
I do think you have a point on why he is here instead of Feliciano. Feliciano has only played 5 games in CF this year and has no MLB experience. I am guessing like it or not the Mets value GMJR’s defense over Feliciano’s chance at hitting.
Mr North Jersey
5/31/2010-5:41pm at 5:41 pm (UTC -4)
Well it was not my intent to interject in you and ceet’s debate about Feliciano or GMJ but hey if that helps in further makeing the pointless debate you are having with Ceet that is good for you I guess.

I think ESPN Deportes had it where the only other time the Mets swept swept a 3 game series with all shutouts was in 1969 when the finished 1st and the last time a team shutout another team in a 3 game series was the 2004 Twins who also finished in 1st place in their division. The suggestion being will this team win the division?

if the phillies keep scoring about 4 runs per week, someone else certainly will win the division!

Here is some food for thought.
The Braves have taken over 1st place in the NL East. If the Mets couldn’t be in 1st place who would you rather see there from the NL East?

yup. season ticket holder.
Not sure how this happened, since she is the one that really got me hooked back in the early 70′s (she is 3 years older than I am).
You are too young. Maybe Gate or MF remember this, but in 1973 Diary lea (sp?) milk gave out free tickets. Save carton panels, send them in for tickets. Based on that year, and the gallons of milk she drank, I doubt she will ever get osteoporosis. Not sure if my parents ever figured out it would be cheaper to buy the nose bleed tickets instead of all the extra milk!
She has lived in No. Virginia for most of the last 25 years, so I gues it is here right to have a local team!

This team is the true definition of a roller coaster ride. Are we a .500 team? Or are we contenders?
Post/poll in the beginning of the season on this blog asked Met fans that question. Of all the answers only Ceetar had the Mets finishing first. Remember that guys come September. We might all be congratulating him on his always logical, ever faithful optimism….
I had the Mets finishing second – simply b/c I didn’t trust their SP pitching – namely Maine and Perez, to a lesser extent Pelf. Right now both Maine and Perez are out of the rotation and we’re doing better without them. Pelfrey’s numbers speak for themselves. We just might be that contending team we all hoped they would be this year.
The games we won the first 6 weeks of the season were more the scratch out a couple of runs, take advantage of the opposition’s poor play, and BP doing it’s job – type of wins. These past 2 weeks, that has changed. We’re playing good defensive crisp baseball. Our offense has picked up (and thank you Pagan and Barajas for keeping us in it w/o the rest of the bats during that time). Our SP has been much better. Our BP is somewhat of a problem but get rid of the dead wood out there (cough* Ollie cough*) and it may solidify itself again.
As far as our illustrious manager….we all know as long as this is a contending team, Jerry will be around to lead the charge. I can only hope our guys can win in spite of his ‘I’ll bat Tatis clean-up’ type of decisions.
LGM!

it seems like on paper they do. But somehow that isn’t translating into the standings.
usually that ends up fixing itself by the end of the year, but hopefully it starts adjusting this weekend!

5/31/2010-6:03pm at 6:03 pm (UTC -4)
Good thoughts.
But, I think they can still make the playoffs. They are as good as just about any other team in the NL, potentially.
And frankly, with Pagan and barajas established, and Davis settling in, and the new rotation, they are a better team right now than they were when they started the season.
My big fear is they do good enough to convince the Wilpons to give Jerry an extension (and IMO even if they make the playoffs, it will be despite jerry, not because of him)
And you can hold me to this. If Jerry is managing the team next year, I am going to boycott!

C:\Documents and Settings\profile name\My Documents
C:\Documents and Settings\profile name\Local Settings
C:\Program Files
Usually the culprit is in a sub directory in Local settings or a misc folder that has been forgotten about in My Documents.
Of course this is without having any idea of the number of programs that are installed and the type of programs ie Suites or large video editing or graphics programs.

Many BLers disagreed with JW, but it’s starting to look awfully fishy that a team that scored 10 runs off of Johan Santana has suddenly gone so cold after having been caught stealing signs (and after being accused by multiple opposing teams/players of having done so for quite some time).
One or two bats in a slump is one thing. This is the entire lineup. If it’s a coincidence, it’s one hell of an unlikely coincidence that seems to keep occurring night after night.
At some point, the press is going to jump on this, and the question is going to be this: how much of the Phillies 2007-2009 offense is a result of honest baseball?
I’m certainly not happy about saying this, but I’d be burying my head in the sand if I didn’t take notice.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen…..

This is starting to get pretty crazy. For that offense to go this quiet for this long this suddenly… Definitely makes you think. Either way, it’s encouraging for our team’s chances.

LOL – I only read, I never troll. Although from time to time I’ve been tempted. Here’s an example….beginning of this month, when things were going well for them, they spent some time discussing the SP rotation for the playoffs.
All I kept thinking was: Post season? You’re talking about post season in May?
As Met fans we know better than to count our chickens until their hatched….
