Jeff Wilpon isn’t happy with second base, I am not happy with Jeff Wilpon (#imwith28)

• Wilpon indicated the Mets are only fully pleased with four of the 25 spots on the roster: third base and three spots in the starting rotation. “I think three of the starting pitchers were very pleased with — [Jonathon] Niese, [Dillon] Gee and [Zack] Wheeler,” Wilpon said. “That, along with David [Wright], I think would be the three or four were solidified on.”

Mets FANS are only pleased with four of the past 25 seasons.

Jeff Wilpon is the COO of the New York Mets.

#imwith28 who is not the problem.

  1. As much as I like the guy, I just can’t get wound up about Murphy’s fate. No, he’s not the problem, but there is no “the problem.” There’s a whole litany of problems, some of which can potentially be addressed in a trade involving Murphy, and one of which in particular is a weak infield defense which Murphy does not help (yes, he’s tried valiantly, but where’s the column for that in the standings?).

    Jeff’s a moron, but naming Wright and some starting pitchers as the only untouchables is pretty reasonable thing to say about a team currently having to settle for celebrating not finishing 4th.

  2. The reason is simple: the Mets are going to have to pay Murphy in arbitration. They aren’t going to spend money on anything, let alone a 2B who is entering his prime.

  3. Leave Murphy alone, period!! He should definitely stay with the Mets! Other than David Wright, he was the only consistent player on the whole team!

  4. Isn’t Mr. Wilpon the guy that said our best player, the second greatest player this organization ever produced, our CAPTAIN isn’t a Superstar?

    Take what he says with a grain of salt. David Wright is the Captain, the Face and second only to Tom Seaver in what it means to be a Met. Daniel Murphy is the Unsung hero, the heart and soul and a very good player that should be kept (unless they are ABSOLUTELY blown away in a deal).

    And this nonsense of moving him back to first is utter ridiculousness. 28 worked very hard to be a very serviceable second baseman, getting comfortable with the position. He never looked comfortable at first, IMHO. Leave him alone, bat him second in front of the Captain, and concentrate on the problems we have, not making more.
