LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2004 Actually, if I'm the Mets, I'd make that trade. Soriano is a big name who already has star value in NY. With all the moves the Yankees have made, how patient are the MEts' fans going to be to accept a youth movement? A 20-year-old SS needs time to develop; Soriano is already a star. I'd make the deal without hesitation if I were the Mets. Soriano is a big star, but he kinda got exposed at the end of last season including the postseason. He also is a horrible defensive player. Reyes did very well in his rookie year and showed a lot. He's also a great defender and just 20 years old, so he'll only get better. I'd stick with Reyes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2004 I don't think he got exposed in the postseason. He just slumped. Still, I agree. Reyes could end up VERY good, and he's cheap as well. He won't hit arbitration until the 2007 season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2004 So he's 28? He's a STAR, and stars sell tickets. The Mets have their division rivals to compete with in the standings, but the Yankees to compete with in the minds of the city. There's no reason not to bring in a big star like Soriano. He's 28, meaning they can sign him for 5-6 and expect good, consistent production from him. High ticket prices are hard to justify with, "This kid might be DA BOMB~! someday."

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 24, 2004 Every team has a minority percentage of fans who want to make insane trades. But very few people (including Met fans I've met, ironically) deny that the New York Mets' fans have a bizarre and disproportionate amount of fans who demand those trades at all hours on sports radio.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2004 With the team the Reds have in the division they are in, they better ALL start praying. I wish them the best though cause I really liked Griffey and it's a damn shame to see things turn out like that. Hell, Griffey is the only person in baseball history to make a movie turn out BAD for the team. Even in the movies the Twins get screwed. And in other news, the Chicago Cub faithful will be destorying a baseball live on MSNBC on Thursday night. With the help of Hollywood no less. I know I should be ashamed of this as a Cubs fan but damn, I freakin love it. Only the Cubbie faithful could convince Hollywood to help with the destruction of a baseball live on national television.

That movie would be Rookie of the Year which starred a still drugged up Gary Busey and Daniel Stern It also had the major phrase "FunkyButtLover!" or some shit like that when the doctor gets nailed by the kids fucked up arm.
