In a report (Post/Yahoo Sports) a player who is friendly with Roy Oswalt says he likes the “fiber” of this Mets team and would be happy to come here.
I like the fiber of this team too. There’s something different about it. Maybe its the young players like Ike and Carter. Too bad Murph isn’t somehow part of this.
For me, its just different rooting for Mets rather than famous guys from Boston, Atlanta or yeah I’ll say it, even Los Angeles.
Not that you can’t import a piece or two to lead you (ok maybe a guy from Los Angeles can do that) but I’d rather watch Wright, Reyes, Ike, Pelfrey and Niese for 15 years – and if Oswalt wants to come here so the Mets can win the World Series in pinstripes so I can close down my blog, so be it. Maybe he will come to Injoy the Floating Feeling the rest of us have so far in 2010.
Mets should save their chips for Cliff Lee but only get him this year if they can extend his contract.
