A few weeks back I posted the below. I’m glad the Mets escaped the albatross that will be four years with Zobrist. I’m glad the Cubs have decided to get into the 110 year range without winning the World Series.
Many of you think my anti-Zobrist stance was an effort to get Murph back. Nope. I want Murph to go for the reasons I laid out below. They don’t deserve him. They never appreciated him and he should go be someone’s first choice not the Mets last choice. So enjoy Dilson and Flores and Zobrist and JV1 and Ike Davis and Emaus. Murph should move on.
The internet tells me that the Mets primary pursuit this off-season is Ben Zobrist.
Am I totally missing something here on his baseball card?
They want to give a 34 year old guy a contract so he can hit .265 17 and 77? And don’t forget power numbers take a dive in Queens.
Other interwebs tell me that Zobrist could get 4/60.
Then I keep reading that if (when, the Mets ain’t giving him 4/60) that their BACKUP plan is Murph.
Here we go again. Dick Murph around, and when everything else fails turn to Murph.
This time I hope Murph tells them to screw off. Play your Dilson Herrera or whoever your third choice is. You had eight years to appreciate the guy and never once did. At least the fanbase finally came to its senses this October.
Move on Murph. Go sign somewhere else where you’ll be appreciated and welcomed. Don’t be a second choice for this stupid team that has not won the World Series in THIRTY SEASONS and would have had a 4 game playoff run if not for you. Why sign here so they can start rolling over Dilson the first time you go 0 for 4. Move on buddy.
