“This is a sad low for this blog.”
LOL, quite an entertaining discussion at the ole blog.

Some people are just a bunch of Lemmings. Cerrone is a hypocrite that doesn’t practice what he preaches and is now using what Francesa to get as much attention for his blog as possible. Hopefully trying to get air time with Francesa.
It goes to show how big Francesa is that a throwaway comment he makes is big news to bloggers that claim they hate him and still listen to him.
I have always been a fan of Francesa and knew many of the things he says is to stir things up so I never got too bothered like many Mets fans did. He will like it or not go down as one of the best sports talk radio voices in NY History. And deservedly so.
Watching Cerrone try to make something more of what Francesa said when he has always talked so badly about him and on his own blog doesnt allow for people to comment badly about him just sickens me to my stomache.

Also was just looking at WFAN’s site and under the BLOG tab MetsBlog is the first in the list. Mike should know what his station is trying to promote before he opens his fat mouth.
Mr North Jersey

It is the official blog of the NY Mets. I dont think Mike commits to memory all the official sponsors of the NY Mets.
saltygary
6/2/2010-2:36pm at 2:36 pm (UTC -4)
But as a business he should be aware of partners and relationships with other parties. For the WFAN I am sure they are trying to do everything they can to stay relevant seeing they are a AM station. Things like making fatcessa do video blogs, webcasts for the station, YES… It is also important for them to have relationships with folks like Daily News and Mattsblog since it gives them more outlets.
Though putting a smile on my face with his comment he needs to demonstrate that he embrace newer media and not be afraid of it.
For Matt I look at his post as noting more than crappy wrestler trying to get a cheep pop from his fans. Next he’ll write an entry on how much he loves NY.

speaking of McFatty, I happened to have him on in the car today agian (I blame MF for making me do this).
interrupting his rant about their not being any star OFs anymore (not like in the 60′s, when he was less than 250#), some guy called him, made a comment, then launched into how MF was too rough on Cerrrone.
Well, Mikey got all indignant, said he was just teasing the guy, and wasn’t going to waste is time taking calls about it, and hung up on the dude.
I guess you had to be there…
Oh, not sure if he is going to get slapped for it (like that Dodger GM, what’s his name) did, but the reason for no more stud OFs is because of the decrease in the # of black ball players.

Who said that? Fatty McFattens?
stickguy
6/2/2010-2:56pm at 2:56 pm (UTC -4)
Yes. The reason that back in the old days (60s/70s mostly from his examples), per MF, that all of the offensive starts were OFs is because there were more black players. As the % of them declined, the offenseive forces shifted to the infield.
At least while I was listening, he didn’t explain exactly why this was the case, but he did allude to how their were few black pitchers or infielders. And also that back then, it was rare to find a big bat at 2B, 3B or SS. Some at first, once in a while at third.
now all the big bats are on the infield. He used the Yankees as an extreme example!
I would like to here his detailed physio and socio analysis of why this was the case.
GravediggerHebner

I don’t know how this whole OF decline/superstars of baseball conversation started but it prompted me to look at some stats. I don’t have enough of an understanding of sabermetrics to bother looking at WAR or VORP or things like that, but I was checking out OPS leaders and there are not many OF in that group and none that I would comfortably call a “superstar.”
In 2009 there were 27 major leaguers with an OPS over .900, 7 were OF, 8 if you include Adam Dunn.
13th – Ryan Braun .937
15th – Adam Lind .932
18th – Adam Dunn .928
20th – Jason Bay .921
21st – J.D. Drew .914
22nd – Matt Holliday .909
23rd – Jason Kubel .907
27th – Brad Hawpe .903
Obviously that’s just one year, not exactly an ideal sample, but I would agree with the suggestion that this is not a list of “superstars of baseball.”
1-12 in 2009 OPS, none of whom are OF, has more guys I might refer to as “superstars.”
Pujols, Mauer, Fielder, Votto, Derrek Lee, Youkilis, Adrian Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez, Teixeira, Zobrist, Sandoval & Miguel Cabrera.

I haven’t heard or read anything specific about that, but I thought it was telling when Pelfrey mentioned the upcoming schedule last night in the post game when questioned about whether he should have taken the mound to start the 9th inning or not. He referred to the idea that he thought he would go back in since he “wouldn’t be pitching again for 6 or 7 days.”

I would currently trade Mejia in a package for Lee. What might hurt would be who else would be included.
Right now Mejia is what, a 6th inning reliever, and one who is inconsistent at best? It sure seems from afar that the Mets don’t view him as a future starter or why isn’t he starting now? I understand that if they feel that way they wouldn’t go out of their way to say so publicly, precisely because that would diminish his value. So if he’s a future relief pitcher yeah I’ll part with one of those for Lee. If he becomes a very good starting pitcher from 2013 onward, hopefully the glow of the WS championship we got with Lee will make that pill easier to swallow.
Santana, Pelfrey, Lee in any particular order completely changes the dynamic of the NL post season race and makes me a believer that the Mets are a legit player.

First, we’d have to be allowed the s/w him about a contract.

Yeah, I’m with Fongy on this. I wouldn’t trade Mejia or Ike, and prefer to not trade Niese. Even for Lee.
I don’t want to shoot for the moon when we are finally getting geared up for a good long run, based on the young core and kids on their way up.
GravediggerHebner
6/2/2010-3:51pm at 3:51 pm (UTC -4)
1. I know he would be with the Mets just for the balance of 2010, and then would declare for free agency. That’s not a surprise or a deterrent, I’m trying to “win now.” The NL is down at the moment, great time to strike IMO. The Mets are currently in the mix as is, Lee puts them above most of the fray.
2. I know how young Mejia is. If the Mets think of him as a future starter it just makes zero sense to me and most everybody else that he is in the ML bullpen now, pitching in low leverage situations. The Mets have other pitching prospects now and can add more next week and in the coming years. It will hurt to part with someone allegedly so talented but you have to give to get and the organization is not exactly steering him toward their future rotation anyway.
njstuckintx
6/2/2010-3:53pm at 3:53 pm (UTC -4)
Plus you’d get the picks for him leaving, but I still wouldn’t want Lee on a rental. If he can be signed, then yes. If he’s going to go and leave no matter an offer, then no. Maybe i’m being blockheaded about it, but that is what my gut tells me.
GravediggerHebner
6/2/2010-4:03pm at 4:03 pm (UTC -4)
Nothing blockheaded about that, you guys disagree with me on what you would part with for a player, that’s all. Your stance is perfectly reasonable.
Sometimes prospects turn into really good, even great players, and Mejia may very well be a great future major leaguer. He also may not. Lee already is a successful NL East, north east, post season pitcher, and I would love to have one of those.

Very interesting. You are right about Mejia that he is what we see today. But he does have a very high ceiling and I’m not sure if I want to give that up just yet for a 3 months rental player. Especially that our offense still seems inconsistent to warrant a playoff spot.
Having said that, I really don’t know if Mejia is worth Lee or not. From what I’ve heard from Peter Gammons is that Mariners are looking for a catching prospect. Does that mean Mejia and Thole?
Plus, Phillies did not give up their #1 or #2 prospect to get Lee last season. This season, Lee’s contract is shorter and is coming off of injury. His market value (in terms of prospects) should not be that high.

Kingman 26

Cliff Lee is approaching 32, and has had TWO really good years, surrounded by injuries and mediocrity.
He is not Halladay, not Roy Harvey Oswalt, and not a superstar pitcher.
Trade for Millwood, sure.
But Mejia’s potential is still there, even if he has basically wasted 1/3 of a year now doing nothing whatsoever to really progress as a future starter, or even future closer.
Of course, we can thank Jerry for that.

My personal feeling remains that we are building a serious beast of a team for the next few years, and I just do not want to mortgage that for an illusory playoff run this year.
I think we need a new manager, new second baseman, new right fielder (maybe Pagan if Beltran decides to play), a new bench and 2 new starters.
I would very gladly take Lee as even a rental if we can get him without trading any of the Junior Core, Wright, Reyes, Johan, KRod, etc.
But I think we are not ready for the postseason yet, and would not trade Mejia for Lee.
If the Astros would trade us Roy Harvey, I WOULD trade Mejia OR Ike.
Roy is one year older than Lee and his career pretty much blows Lee’s away.

Actually, I disagree.
Very few are typos.
King FWICG is a terrible speller and a bad writer with poor grammar.

I believe this was in response to him listing Parnell as 35 rather than 25.
That my float friend is a typo.
But, you are correct about the other aspects of using the English language.

Did you read Ted Berg’s post yesterday in defense of MC and his SNY sponsored blog? Very long and very deep….

IMO Ted is a very intelligent young man. I so wish he had a certain popular Mets related blog under his control as opposed to the fella that actually does. That was an interesting read, thanks for the heads up.

I am not willing to empty the farm (now that there are finally somepieces there to hoard) for 2 months of lee.
ANd yes, I know it is early June, but I highly doubt Seattle is going to punt and trade him now, and most likely they play it until close to the deadline.
I would much rather try and get Millwood ASAP, when they actually need someone, for (I assume) considerably less talent.
Gives them just about as good a chance of winning this year (assuming you have Millwood for a month or more longer), with less likely impact to the future (as in later this year and next year).
Lee will generate a couple of picks, but I imagine that Millwood wil lbe at least a type B. So instead of a 2nd round + comp pick they will just get the comp pick.
Yes, I am guessing that the Yankees or Sox sign Lee! Or at least some team that will have a protected 1st pick!

don’t think there will be any emptying for a rental. though it might take at least one top prospect like Mejia or F-Mart, depending on the competition. gotta figure niese and davis are safe.

I tuned into the MF drive by when I saw you all earlier discussing something with MC and Francessa – thought I was missing something on the air about this.
Left it on but was muted for a couple of hours. Turned the sound back on only to hear Steve Phillips rambling. Not sure who they’re discussing but it’s the ‘highest rated prospect ever’.
Ah…never mind – It’s Bryce Harper. MF goes on to say the Mets better do something with the Nats drafting all these super stars….
And I can honestly say as much as I do not like listening to MF – I’d listen to marathon of his rather than ever have to listen to Phillips on a regular basis.

I’m late to the party here. Didn’t think I could respect Cerrone any less, then I read his post urging his callers to say they were proud of Pelfrey and re-stoke the fire of last week’s pissing match. Now, even if it’s just MC being shrewd and just trying to get his name out there and his blog’s name out there, he really comes off as a whining loser. He should feel fortunate for everything that’s come his way, as he’s got quite a nice gig with an extremely minimal amount of talent. It’s a shame, his blog used to be quite enjoyable back in the day (before he started acting like the Gestapo with all his bans of posts and whatnot). I still go there to see if there’s any news, but if I want actual thought-out insight, I come here. Long live Real Dirty!
