    That is great for the Mets. I simply hope that Beltran can continue to be as exciting as he has been now that he will play at Shea.

    All I can say is given the Mets' bidding style, they are an Ebay seller's dream!!

    7 years @ $17MM average per year? Yikes?

    The Winner's Curse definitely applied here.

    Good luck to the Mets and Beltran.

    I expect Piazza to bounce back with a nice season also. Mets should be scary good this year, but we'll see.

    Not quite sure their done either, Delgado is still on the Mets radar

    I like this deal. Going with youth for a change.

    The Mets are getting serious, eh? Nice job, but a lot of money...still, you have to give them credit for putting together a team with a top notch pitching staff, and some nice hitting. If they complete the winter with Delgado - they'll be the best team in New York.

    god i hope so. and i hope they play like it. please beltran do not = bonilla!
  • KOBEcollectorKOBEcollector Posts: 3,873 ✭✭
    I don't believe Beltran will " Bonilla " . He never had the tools that beltran has. Have you seen his stolen base % from last year for example ? Unbelievable

    Mets are no where near a complete team yet though. Bullpen is still shaky IMO and we still need a 1st baseman.

    I was pissed when Omar Minaya left the Mets and this is why. The man has brought us the best F.A pitcher on the market and the best F.A everyday player on the market

    What still drives me crazy is that Kazmir deal for Zambrano . Kazmir was one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball and all we got for him was Zambrano. Theres no question that Kazmir could've been used to get either Mulder or Hudson if the Mets would've just held onto him a little longer
  • kuhlmannkuhlmann Posts: 3,326 ✭✭
    kobe i couldnt agree more the kazmir deal will go down as the worst in history worse then ryan and seaver unreal they did that! i was sick last year over it.
  • CardsFanCardsFan Posts: 1,093 ✭✭✭
    I agree the Kazmir deal was stupid, but Zambrano isn't horrible and Kazmir was unproven on the big league level. Zambrano had decent numbers pitching for a bad team in the tough AL East, so hopefully he can become an even better pitcher in the pitcher friendly parks of the NL east.
  • KOBEcollectorKOBEcollector Posts: 3,873 ✭✭
    Zambrano is a solid pitcher but the bottom line is that when you have a blue chip prospect in your system you don't waste him on a # 3 or 4 starter

    More on Delgado ( would give the link from N.Y Times but you need to register to read it 0

    From the NY Times:
    Who will be next? Yesterday, Beltran called Carlos Delgado, the free-agent first baseman the Mets are still interested in. Beltran is a friend of Delgado's and a fellow Puerto Rican. The Mets need a first baseman and have continued their conversations with David Sloane, Delgado's agent.

    Reyes is alway hurt, Matsui belongs in triple A as for Wright the sophmore jinx awaits him. I have been a Mets fan from the beginning. 1962 I have seen it all.
    Good for you.
