Crawford plays second base?
Thank goodness that Anderson has been solid this year. I still cannot fathom we gave all that money to Brandon McCarthy.. unreal. Have to think we've got a very solid 5-man staff now and we won't have to rely on converted relievers and random call-ups to fill it out. Nervous about Clay's hip though.
Peraza is a glove wizard with blazing speed. He's a better 2B than Seager.
Glovework is about the only comparison with Simmons, though. Simmons is ok with a bat and has a bit of pop, Peraza is ok with a bat, has no pop.
Yeah, the Braves just churn out quality pitchers who always seem to fall apart once they leave. Not familiar with Avilan either but seems he's been a good performer for them so that's a relief.. (well, looking him up now, and I guess he was amazing his first two seasons and has tailed off a bit the last two) the bullpen has been such an utter shit show this year. Seems like Jim Johnson was absolutely godawful last year but has been solid in 2015 so fingers crossed he keeps that up.
Going to be very curious how the Dodgers fit a lot of these guys into the roster. Gonna have to ditch a few players for sure.
Avilan sucks, and i'm glad he's a Dodger now.

W Sox fans I work with were unbearable about them being on a roll now.
They still have to leapfrog like 5 teams though.

You can hear the moment their heart breaks

So apparently because this is the final meeting between these two teams and the Mets are the home team, since they didn't get to bat and the game is suspended, the Mets win.
Lol wtf? What a stupid rule.
I think he was already declining and that's why Wong was placed at leadoff

They revert back to the score of the last full inning.

Do you have any stats on that? I don't remember what exactly was going on when the leadoff switch happened.
wait wait. So Upton HR didn't count? wtf?

No, he started to decline after he was moved off leadoff (I don't really think these have much to do with each other, though). He was switched to 2 because Heyward wasn't producing in that spot early on
Wong was placed at leadoff because he was a hot hitter and has some speed which makes Matheny think he's a Prototypical Leadoff Hitter (he's not and should be batting like 3-5). Until Wong can learn to take a walk he shouldn't be at leadoff

I didn't even realize Olivera was 30 until reading about it today. A 30 year old infielder with no MLB experience? I don't mind that trade. If Seager pans out then our infield is pretty much set already.
It's too bad we couldn't flip Alex Guerrero though. Dude deserves to go somewhere where he can get regular playing time.

Part of me feels sorry for the Mets fans. Their ownership is starting to sink down to Loria's level. Pretty soon they will have a sub $75 million dollar payroll.

From a non-traded Marlin: "This is some of the stupidest f------ s--- I've ever seen today. On the field, off the field, all of it."
All these braves fans wanting to jump off the Bank of America building gonna feel real dumb when this guy is putting up a .280/.350/.450 line at 5 million-ish a year, money that Hart can go out and use to acquire a FA OF and C (Weiters, anyone?)

That's the end goal. Wilpons are using the Mets as a piggy bank to keep from having to pay back the Billion dollars, yes Billion dollars, they owe.
Can the mets afford to pay for the lighting costs?
Pretty sure they budgeted pretty tightly this year.

I feel like it's a competition to see who an get off the short bus last. Seriously I don't think there's a competent FO in the bunch. Nats kinda just win by default.
