Don't sweat the small stuff, but don't tell Mets manager Jerry Manuel that. According to Manuel, the small stuff is the reason the Mets are watching, instead of playing ? again ? this October.

I think the Mets have bigger issues to address this offense then catcher but I keep hearing grumblings that they may look into upgrading offensively at catcher. If they did I would keep Schneider and move on from Castro. Schneider had an unusually interrupted season due to nagging injuries but Castro is consistently out do to injuries, in fact he never misses a trip to the DL in...

11. By losing the Devil from their name and becoming good, they make your older relatives think that something in the world still makes sense
10. There's a reasonable chance that you might be the most famous Rays fan
9. They are so young, the average player is only making 10 times your annual salary, not 100
8. With so many pro wrestlers in the fan base, not rooting for them...

I miss Shea Stadium. But I'm much more excited for Citi Field.
Andrew Beaton over at Hot Foot feels much different. Here is my rebuttal.

a??Extending Omar was a questionable decision.
a??Resigning Jerry Manuel was a good decision, with a few gray areas to ponder over the next few years.
a??Picking up Carlos Delgado's option was a heartfelt thank you for outstanding work, but also a borderline baseball move for a team desperate for long term stability.
However, in this young offseason, only [...]

One GM said he believes the Mets will make a big play for Manny Ramirez. It certainly seems like GM Omar Minaya is ready to finally try to land one of his favorite players -- though L.A. may be a better spot for Ramirez, who was raised in upper Manhattan but never liked the fishbowl existence in Boston that he would surely find in New York.
The Mets have a group of players they...

Minaya will go back to work
If the Mets were all-in with general manager Omar Minaya, they had to be all-in with manager Jerry Manuel. It was Manuel who turned the mood positive and got the Mets playing productively after he replaced Willie Randolph in mid-June, so he was rewarded with a two-year extension.
But Minaya still has his work cut out. Top priority...

Roberto "Bert" Hernandez pitched for the Mets in 2005, the then 41 y/o reliever did a serviceable job making 67 appearances with an ERA of 2.58. But Omar traded for Bert in 2006 not for what he could do on the mound but what he could provide in the pen. Aaron Heilman had his best run in the second half of 2005 when he posted an ERA of 0.68 as a reliever and directly attributed...

Most see the Mets picking up a large chunk of Luis Castillo's contract and then signing Orlando Hudson. While that sounds like a great plan, Hudson's not the only 2B who could replace Castillo.How about a 3o y/o former batting champion and two time All-Star. It's reported that the Pirates will shop Freddy Sanchez this winter, in an off year Sanchez hit .271 but is a career...

Jerry Manuel is vowing to change the Mets' selfish, stat-first ways.
Manuel made that clear yesterday after the Mets formally lifted his tag as interim manager with a two-year contract that includes a club option for 2011.
Speaking to reporters in an afternoon conference call, Manuel repeatedly emphasized he will preach a totally different mindset than the Mets are used to...

I have been promoting the go get K-Rod, but I have noticed a couple of things during the playoffs. He is not as overpowering as we all thought, though he has saved more games than the whole Mets bullpen this year. The other problem is he will demand a high price tag because of his new saves record. The Mets have to be careful here and even though he is 26 he might have arm problems...
