Wow. I cleanup hitter who last year hit .228 with 19 homeruns and 61 RBI’s. Not to mention a leadoff hitter who gets on base 31% of the time and stole a career high 8 bases last year. That is just amazing. David Wright has no protection under this format and Jacobs is getting more at-bats than Bay. I would have thought Angel Pagan would be getting the nod over GMJ, but I guess not. I really hate this lineup it is even worse than I imagined it would be. Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, and Dan Murphy please hurry up! Continue reading
Is Picking Up Julio Lugo Smart?
Around Mets blogs, twitter updates, and forms I have seen a lot of people being negative about a future signing of Julio Lugo and that it will be a bad move for the Mets. The thing is I just don’t understand how this could possibly be a bad move for a badly injured team like the Mets. People have even said it would be bad because “Angel Berroa is now in the fold”. Are you kidding me? You would rather have Berroa over Julio Lugo? I hope he realizes Berroa is hitting .125 on the year. Continue reading

SI.Com – Ex-Mets star Dykstra files for bankruptcy, citing $31M in debts
Former New York Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra has sought bankruptcy protection in Los Angeles, citing more than $31 million in debts. Federal court documents show Dykstra filed for Chapter 11 status on Tuesday. He listed assets of $50,000 or less and liabilities of between $10 million and $50 million. Dykstra, whose lifestyle included a lavish house, a jet and a Rolls Royce, says he owes millions of dollars to his 20 largest creditors, many of them banks. His filing follows at least two dozen lawsuits over his business and financial dealings.

Minor League Ball – Hit and Run, June 29th, 2009
**Ike Davis Update: Davis found his power stroke in May at St. Lucie, bringing his numbers there up to .288/.376/.486, very nice numbers for the Florida State League. Promoted to Double-A last week, he’s hitting .400/.538/.550 through six games at Binghamton. He’s 8-for-20 with three doubles, five strikeouts, and six walks so far. The fact that he’s maintained the walk rate at the higher level is a good sign. He will likely need some consolidation time at this level and if I were the Mets I wouldn’t consider a promotion to Triple-A until August at the earliest, if he’s hitting well. Nevertheless, he’s exceeded the expectations I had for him in the book and has calmed concerns about his bat.
