bxbomb Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Reyes is no starter on any all star team if Arod goes to the NLYeah reyes probaly will turn out to be a good player , but this is Alex fawkin Rodriguez ,his numbers for a 6-7 yr span will blow away anything Reyes will probably put up in his careerYour talkin about the guy that will probably wind up with 800 home runs ....Mets screwed up once not gettin him they shouldnt do it again.The wilpons have the loot , they should spend it and give their fans something to be happy about. Get arod, then trade Piazza to AL team(orioles)for pitching and maybe a second baseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get arod, then trade Piazza to AL team(orioles)for pitching and maybe a second baseman Spend the money on one player and not have the $$ to fill the other holes they have....smart move A-rod is 28 while Reyes is only 20. Reyes is ALREADY as good defensifely as Rodriguez and I'd rather spend the money on players that can play defense and pitching. Besides, if the Mets do trade Piazza - since the other team will eat that contract, the Mets will not get much in return in the way of players.I honestly think A-rod will go to the Sox for Nomar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if the Mets do trade Piazza - since the other team will eat that contract, the Mets will not get much in return in the way of players.I honestly think A-rod will go to the Sox for Nomar Arod is just about getting into in his prime years , so who cares bout the 8 yrs at this point, And like i said the mets have the $$ so spending a chunk of that on 1 palyer (that happens to be the BEST player in the game would be worth it )Orioles have already expressed intrest in Piazza and have plenty of young talent and good arms they got in the POnson deal, and no onne knows who will eat what of a contract until deal is made.Your a NY market team, act like it and go get the best player in the game (possibly could wind up the greatest player ever), and you dont want to do it because Reyes might turn out to pretty good SS?!

Thats been the point in every single argument I havehad with you when you complain the Yanks buy their teams and championships!!!Reyes might be a top 3 -5 ss in both leagues , but guess who will be #1 ss for the next few years and not by a slim marginbLike i said Arods output over the next 5-7 yrs will dwarf Reyes entire career, Go ahead dont make the move for ArodTrust me the last thing i wanna see is the Mets on top;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookie23 Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Not worth breaking the bank for A-Rod when we already have a stud SS. Thanks, but no thanks...we'll be working on other positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but no thanks...we'll be working on other positions. You cant break the Wilpons bank , and what kind of revenues you think Mets would generate if Arod comes here, remember all those Piazza jerseys and sell outs the first few years.And you would be working on other positons like a MASSIVE upgrade at ss, and gettin pitchin in return for Mrs. Sam Champion:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they spend for A-rod, they won't have money to fill the other positions. He destroyed Texas because he was a good portion of the payroll...and the Texas owner is no cheapskate by no means...fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be an all star for the next few years, but you're talking about A-Rod....probably the best player in baseball who is going to give Aaron (and maybe Bonds by then) a run for the money at the home run record. The 2 are in-compareable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicman Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 i dont think it makes much sense for the mets to get rodriguez now when they are not in a position to be contendres for another 2 or 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majinbuu Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 the mets already have a chunk of dead wood taking up a good portion of their payroll...get rid of them and go after A-rod. he will generate more $ than anyone else on the Mets.btw, the mets are moving towards getting their TV rights and looking at starting their own network or, teaming up withthe YES network to form a super NY sports network.

pk1 Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 If you want to end A-rod's career, send him to the Mets. If you want him to make it to the playoffs and lose to the Yanks, send him to Boston. Hey Spragga- I take it your a Met fan, cuz in the other topic you would trade Jeter for A-rod in a New York minute, but in this situation you wouldn't want him inorder to give up Reyes? Don't get me wrong, I think this kid is gonna be really good and is gonna be the Mets future, I just thought it was funny when it involves your own team the situation is different.
