>Why The Mets Shouldn't Pick Up Delgado's Option

>Earlier in the year when you were calling for Carlos Delgado to be just outright released I told you to remain calm.

Now you find yourself chanting MVP at Sunday Night Baseball (ESPN hates children and cancelled another Mr. Met dash).

I am hear to warn you not to be fooled. Should Delgado be waived? Of course not. Should the Mets pick up the option?

No.

How many times do you see a guy suddenly get a lot better when there is a contract at stake (cough Mussina cough A-Rod).

Then what happens the next year? The 'real' player comes back.

If the 'real' Delgado comes back y'all will be booing him out of Citi Field by May 1st.

It's first base. You'll get someone. You wanted Delgado gone in May. Remember that feeling. Let him go.

….

Nice of Santana to be all ace-like last night. Nice to see that. Too often you get Cylonic Glavine type performances.

Answer to yesterday's trivia question of what's from Boston and can't be trusted: come on that was easy – Four Inning Pedro of course!

Joe Girardi in 4th place. Still has a job. George must be in a coma.

George should call Willie. That would be all kinds of entertaining. The subway series would be awesome. The NYY's would continue to underachieve and we could restart the Willie Watch. Fun fun fun. Come on George I know you have one call left in you.

  1. >Argghh, 1 bad game and the 4-inning Pedro moniker is back. Soon I might start thinking you have a crush on him and you’re just hiding behind the hatred.

    As for Delgado, there’s a hole in your theory. If his option is picked up, it’ll only be for one year. Next year he’ll be in the same situation playing for a contract. Considering it would cost $4mm to NOT pick up his option and $12mm to pick up the option for next year, why not just pay the extra $8mm?
