In 2009, Sheffield [...]

The other day I took a lot of heat for supporting Jeff Francoeur, but more specifically for appreciating the intangibles that he brings to the game. I'm not really sure why, but there's a group of fans who seem to become extremely up-set whenever intangibles are brought up. Look, I agree baseball is 90% talent/skill but professional athletes are so close in there skill set...

With Bobby Valentine talking to ESPN, it suggests that the Mets aren’t talking to him. Which could mean the Mets are planning on repeating the Manuel mistake in 2010. Which would be a shame, because replacing Manuel would be the easiest and cheapest problem to fix on the Mets.
Couple this with rumors that the Mets are talking about signing Jeff Francoeur to a three-year contract...

After an 11-3 drubbing, where the Atlanta Braves did all their damage in the first three innings, the Mets have something to play for for the rest of the 2009 season.

I was once a huge advocate of the Mets acquiring Milton Bradley, I was willing to accept the 50lbs. of baggage he brought with him for the talent he would provide.Since 2003 he has hit .267 or better every year and four of those years he hit over .300 with a lifetime Slg. pct. .450 and OBP .371. In 2008 he was selected to the All-Star team and received League MVP votes (17). He is...
