He also improved significantly against them in AA, which continued over to the AFL. Smoak, cumulative line against lefties (just because he switch-hits doesn't mean he has solved pro lefties yet): .214/.301/.325. Alonso cumulative: .222/.329/.317 Morrison: .228/.336/.326. Slow feet doesn't necessarily mean a low babip. Sure, speed can help babip, but so do line-drives and hitting the snot out of the ball. Jesus Montero is pretty damn slow. So Ike's ops is actually superior against lefties compare3d to all 3 of these more highly rated 1B prospects. Ike's line against lefties, albeit small sample, in Binghamton, AA ball? .269/.347/.433.

Instead of taking a chance with him they decided to trade him. Whoever might be in charge it seems that the Mets haven’t learn from the mistake that made with Kazmir.

In his managers book, Chris Jaffe argues that Bochy has been one of the more successful managers in recent years, considering the decent results he got out of subpar talent in San Diego. (Remember when his biggest stars were Ryan Klesko and Phil Nevin, and the Padres were perennial contenders?) Bruce Bochy isn’t the worst manager in MLB by any means.

The Wilpon's run that team through and through, micromanaging all the way. I mean the Wilpon's didn't even give Minaya a budget this offseason, they went over each free agent on a case by case basis, how can you possibly do that? No wonder why they missed out on so many players. The Mets problem is much bigger than Minaya, Manuel, or Meija. The Wilpon’s run that team through and through, micromanaging all the way.

Martinez has a much better chance of being an All-Star but also a much better chance of winding up as a backup.

I'll put it in my own words: He strikes out too much, he fails against LHP, and was extremely lucky last year. Saying he has a beautiful stroke and whatelse doesnt mean he's a good hitter. Just like saying a guy throws 95mph so he must be a stud. You asked why Ike Davis wasnt rated higher, I gave you a link and quotes of flaws about Ike Davis.

Just for next year we'll be paying K-rod and Perez 25 or so million combined, and we'll have 129 million committed to only 11 players, 3 of those players who aren't likely to combine for more than 5-6 WAR make up about 42 million of that.
