The injuries are unfortunate and we can't do anything about that but we should have gave Lowe the extra year instead of wasting the money on Ollie Perez. We also should have signed Ibanez. My friend is a Mariners fan, so I saw alot of his production in 08 and thought he would have been a great fit in the outfield for the Mets
Lots of good comments there. The best one IMO is from dykstraw:
"sure he couldn’t predict that reyes and beltran would go down, but it was obvious that expecting 2008 results out of delgado, tatis and murphy was crazy. then factor in that castillo and schneider both kind of suck and you already have a very average offense – that is two injuries away from being completely hopeless."
In spades.
Amen, Mr. Met.
The injuries are not the problem. The lack of depth is. Beltran getting hurt at some point is always a possibility. Filling his spot with a 20-year-old when it happens is inexcusable.
I read another person say it's not Omar's fault, because he's constantly facing a "win now" mandate. OK, fine. How does throwing money and years at Castillo and Perez as if you're being extorted help that cause?
If the miracle turnaround doesn't come and Minaya is still the GM come Spring Training, the fans need to quit enabling this incompetence, abandon the franchise, and send Wilpon hurtling toward bankruptcy until he sells it.
