Mets? We Philly fans are more concerned with the Braves and Marlins.

Wasn’t Guiterrez on the Indians before the trade?

I didn’t think he came from the Mets system.

Gutierrez isn’t an impact player? Dude was 5.9 WAR last year. That’s MVP territory. Think the Mets could have used that in their OF in 2009? Or could in 2010?

This is actually in reply to Ezra, but there’s no ‘reply’ button in his post for me to click on:

It’s actually Shin-Soo Choo, and the Mariners gave up not only him, but also a PTBNL, who turned to be minor league pitcher Shawn “The Sheriff of” Nottingham. ;)

And to Pete above: I’ve actually heard that the Mets didn’t lose any money at all in the Madoff scandal, but rather made money–about $48 million from at least one of their accounts with Madoff(true, there may have been other accounts in which they lost money that haven’t been reported on).

Endy is a valuable guy… if he can run down balls in the outfield. He’s also probably out until the middle of next year with a bad leg injury, so it’s possible he can’t. And he’s a free agent, so who knows where he ends up. He may go unsigned until mid-season; he may take a cheap one-year rehab contract somewhere. But he’s not on any team’s opening day roster.

Heathcliff Slocumb. Eric Bedard. The big sucking nothing they got back for Raphael Soriano, Shin Soo Choo, and the entire Indians middle infield. The Mariners have a lot of horses in the “historically bad trade” race; the Putz deal only starts to make up for some of them.

The Mets did also give up Mike Carp who could easily be their starting first baseman this upcoming season. Endy Chavez has value and Joe Smith/Aaron Heilman are as good/better than Sean Green.

Yeah, Endy Chavez and his 15.7 UZR/150 are worthless.

Endy probably isn’t going anywhere. The M’s employ Tango as a consultant, and he has an unrivaled man-crush on Chavez.
