d'Arnaud has established himself as at least a league average catcher and Syndergaard is up in the rotation. Meanwhile RA Dickey looks finished as a useful starter.

He was alright for a few month last year. How much more do you want out of the guy.

Anyone with a talented but struggling OF interested in a challenge type of trade for Choo?

Which would be acceptable if the team has made the playoffs but the team went all in and lost and now the prospect capital is starting to come back to haunt us. Not just the Mets gusy but also a lot of the Marlins guys are doing well (though ironically with other teams) and even some of the Happ guys are threatening to become "something".

I can't believe I'm saying this, but you should hold. He's been coming around nicely the last two weeks.

But Abreu hasn't. You should trade him instead.

Was about to say this. BTS keeps him all year last year and April of this year, then decides to sell as soon as he starts righting the ship.

His last two weeks have been weird. Power has come back with 8 doubles and 2 homers for a 156 wRC+ in May, but it's come with a 37% K-rate. I'd be more excited if this had happened with a K-rate close to his career average.

In BTS' defence, he only had him for like 1/3 of last year.

Yeah, I missed out on his great April and May. Got him just in time for his awful last month and season-ending surgery.

His swings and misses are definitely up but he's not going out of the zone any more than he always has. I'd bet his Ks will come down a bit.

You don't tell me what to do! I'm not going to Puig him and cheese my way to a high pick.

A rebuilding team should probably grab Ottavino and DL stash him. Pretty good chance he can get the job back next year around the ASB.

The quickest way off the TML Mediocrity Treadmill is to tank as hard and deep as possible. Unless putting Correa on your MLB roster lets you stash another elite prospect, I'd hold off.

 

Puig Cheese worked exceptionally well for TCA.

Heh, AJ. Ramos has near 16,000 adds so far today, lol. Even the casuals see the end of the line for Cishek, well, that's because of the managers comment.

I've thought about it, but its hard to spend a keeper spot on a reliever who isn't a lock (says the guy who carried Ryan Cook :( )

You don't necessarily need to keep him, you could always trade him in the offseason. If I had a free roster spot and a DL spot open, I'd grab him anyway just in case.

And if I had the chance I'd do it over all again. It's smart asset control. Same reason Astros haven't called up Correa. Plus it allowed me to stash another guy on my keeper list at cutdown.

Fine I'll do it
