If you have 20 million just burning a hole in you large pocket, why not throw a little at your favorite team. Not only can they use the money, but they will also throw you a couple of small benefits.
So I thought of a couple and I would like any of you that are reading to add some of your own.
For a 20 million dollar investment, you’ll get….
10. A great parking spot
9. A picture next to Jose Reyes locker
8. When the day come for the kids to run around the bases, you get to go first!
7. You get to sit in a luxury box for every game vs. the Nationals, Astros and Cubs.
6. All Snack Shack food at 50% off.
5. Mo Vaughn’s cell phone number. (That’s for you Rusty!)
4. You get to share the bathroom with Mr. Met.
3. You get to rid in the golf cart with Jeff Wilpon.
2. You get a 100 dollars of Met money every time you go to a game .
1. You get to be in a commercial with Kieth Hernandez.
So what do you think, what kind of perks do you think you’ll get for investing 20 million?

#9 – Wonder if Tejada got Jose’s locker….
I’m really going to hate seeing Jose in that circus-like Marlin uniform.

From an interview with Steve Popper at Metsblog:
“Well, I think it’s hard to imagine a best-case scenario coming to fruition for the Mets this season. You’re looking at a team that really needs everything to go right – Johan Santana getting healthy and being close to the pitcher he was; David Wright and Jason Bay returning to form; Ike Davis and Daniel Murphy not only being healthy, but picking up where they left off; kids like Ruben Tejada and Lucas Duda avoiding the inevitable growing pains. And as we saw with the Fernando Martinez news this week, waiting on a can’t miss prospect is a shaky proposition. So counting on a low-budget, grow-from-inside plan is hardly a sure thing. Would I be surprised to hear that one of the highly-touted pitchers needs Tommy John surgery? Of course not. And would I be surprised if one of them never makes it? It’s part of the game. Now, I do think that the Mets are taking the only course of action they can with the financial difficulties afflicting the franchise. I’ve made my points clear – that I thought they needed to keep Reyes if for no other reason than to keep money flowing in with ticket sales and television revenues. The message I hear from fans is that they are tuning the Mets out right now and that’s the worst thing that can happen – bad is one thing, but irrelevant is worse. It can change if some things work out – Santana is a great place to start. But, look, money is going to have to be spent at some point. You need to acquire proven talent if you want to compete. You need veterans. At some point, the fans are going to grow tired of just waiting for kids and they are going to want to see wins. The Mets need to accelerate that process in any way they can.”

Not much to agree with in that post.

Fans tuned out last season, even when reyes was doing well. So no, keeping him was not going to really matter attendence (interest) wise if the team wasn’t going to win anyway.
and keeping fans interested is a dangerous way to build a team. Unless you are the globetrotters.
and the team has veterans that make a boatload of money. There really are not many “kids” on the team at the moment.

I forgot to add that Popper will not be covering the Mets this year. He is now a beat writer covering the Knicks.
