redandwhite Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines Taking on payroll is one thing, but adding close to 20 million on 1 player over 2 seasons is more than just adding a little payroll..

redandwhite Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 "The amount is large" a large amount is one thing but adding 10% of your payroll on 1 player seems a little too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Glavine is the head of the Players union, not just for the mets. He is the single player rep who is extremely active. JR hates the players union and Glavine does not like JR. That won't happen. lieter might be a better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Either or would make a good presence. They've been in the playoffs, still can pitch, and would definitely fix that problem in our 5 spot in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Damn. Until I saw that post reminding us of Glavine's standing in the MLBPA, I was thinking maybe we could trade Maggs for Glavine and a prospect. I think Borchard could fill in well enough to justify losing Maggs and gaining Glavine. But with his MLBPA standings, that AIN'T gonna happen. BTW, Glavine would be a number #1... Not a number 3. If we were starting a playoff series, you'd almost have to start off with Glavine considering his post season experience. That is what defines a number 1 pitcher.

Wong & Owens Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Al Leiter has a very extensive no-trade clause, I dont think he's going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only prospects beside David Wright that the Mets have are the ones the Sox traded them. Seriously. Their minor league system sucks.

CanOfCorn Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Didn't the Sox say earlier in the year that they didn't want another lefty in the rotation? I thought they did, but can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should they really be picky about which side a guy throws from when they can't find a decent 5th starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Should they really be picky about which side a guy throws from when they can't find a decent 5th starter? I think it may have factored into our offseason moves or rathe lack of them -- I know there was some guys I wanted to shore up the rotation, Rogers, Lidle, Redman, that probably weren't even on the sox radar.

knightni Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I forgot Aaron Heilman.. He was a great pitcher at Notre Dame. When he gets it together in Norfolk, he will stay with the Mets for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
