it's not even a question whether or not the mets should pick up putz's 8.6 mill option. if you don't, then he walks. it's an expensive as hell set=up man but you're just going to have to find a new one. you already dealt pieces for him, and you've invested time in him. it's not a fucking small market. so it's a lot of money, big deal. he was hurt the entire year. if he's actually good then the back of the pen is nasty again. need power arms in the pen, need K's

and maybe you can deal him or something. letting him for because he's make 3 million more than he ideally would is fucking stupid. a lot of shitty players on this team could be let go for that reason then

With all due respect to Buntin, he can rebound.

been reading a lot of hawpe-mets stuff. i'd take that in a heartbeat. he's a very good player. can't hit lefties but big deal. mets would have by far the best 3 OF arms in baseball as a unit. francouer and hawpe might have the two strongest in the bigs behind ankiel

i wouldn't give jj 8.6 mil in any market he obviously wouldn't get it on the open market now, but you have to keep him and if that's what it takes, then fine. it's only 2.5 mill increase to the payroll for him, not a big deal. ton of money came off. lost billy and delgado's money

yeah i wouldn't do it at all. i'd welcome the extra money of my payroll and put it on an sp or an of. there are worse things than a makeshift pen, as evidence by last year's mets offense and rotation

absolutely no chance the yankees win a game in anaheim if they play like they did the first two games of this series

and the team is a joke if they get cheap after this past season. the opening of the new stadium came with one of the worst seasons in the history of the franchise given the expectations. i think there are so many ways to make this team really good. ton of different options, but they can't get cheap. i'm not saying lackey/holliday or bust, but they'll have to spend and it's a joke if they don't
