Thursday Thoughts-Turkey Day edition
Hello and welcome to another edition of Thursday Thoughts. This time it’s the Turkey day edition. I got a few things to comment on this week so lets get right to it.
GUILLERMO MOTA IS GONE! Hallelujah. One piece of crap out of our bullpen. In return we got Johnny Estrada who has trouble getting along with teammates and threw out a career low 8% of baserunners last year. He might not even be a Met come opening day depending on arbitration. But all I can say is that Mota is gone and its one less pitcher Willie’s gut can go to.
See ya Tommy G. While it was great having you for 5 years and you pitched some great games for us, that last game you pitched for us this season left us with a bitter taste in our mouths. You belong in Atlanta, but don’t expect to do too much being 42 years old. I hope we can hammer you and make you give up 8 runs in the first inning in one of your starts.
While the rumor mill continues I think the Mets need to sign 2 solid relievers and acquire a starter. Easier said than done. Id expect that at least 2 of our top prospects will be dealt for some type of pitcher that will help us out. Honestly I don’t know who, but Id expect the Mets to pull the trigger on a pitcher of some sort in some way.
Until next time..hope you all had a good turkey day
