Snyder traded? for who?
that must be a weird feeling, saying goodbye to your teammates in the middle of a game like that.

 

[Macattk15]

M's announcer said he was traded to the Pirates.

For Brad Lincoln. LOL.

YOUS HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

 

[clemenx]

Pirates!? :O

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Travis Snider has been traded to the Pirates. Brad Lincoln going to Blue Jays.

 

[Fenix]

FUCCCKKK

Brad Lincoln?

WAT.

 

[clemenx]

Well, if they think Lincoln success this year from the bullpen can be had as a Starter it isn't that bad. Too much risk though.

 

[Macattk15]

Brad Lincoln?

WAT.

Dumpster Tier.

 

[ianswoody]

No way it's for Garza...? Cubs already have a lefty LF prospect about to be called up in Brett Jackson. I guess he could move to center, but... hmm.

Edit: I am SUPER late, haha

 

[Dominican Power]

Only Canadians are Blue Jays fans right? No self respecting American would be caught dead being one, right?

Beaten so so so so so bad

 

[The Frankman]

Brad Lincoln wasn't even that good in MLB: The Show.

ITS FOR BRAD LINCOLN SON. WHERE YOU BEEN?

I don't even know who the fuck he is.

Looks like an average starter moved to the bullpen where he has been better?

But Snider for a reliever? WTF?

 

[Brinbe]

What in the fuck is AA doing... Brad fucking Lincoln?

I just... what?

[jakncoke]

that doesnt seem like a good trade for us. trade a guy who been good in the bullpen for a lighthitting leftfielder. wtf. fucking idiot nh

i wish mlbtr could be edited like wikipedia.

LOL do the Pirates have never had a good reliever? The love Lincoln is getting for this year from Pirates fans is incredibly stupid.

He's gonna come to the AL East and get wrecked prollllllly.

 

[Fenix]

Great, now it's gonna be the Eric Thames show in LF.

I can't watch that.

 

[harSon]

Why in the hell would we make that trade...?

 

[clemenx]

Why in the hell would we make that trade...?

Because you're trading a failed first round pick who's overachieving this year for a legitimate power hitting OF prospect?

 

[Jubs]

Why in the hell would we make that trade...?

I'd be happy with that trade. Snider has great potential. If he pans out, he and mccutchen could be a potent 1-2 punch.

 

[BigJonsson]

Snider gets to play with AJ Burnett again!

 

[Dominican Power]

Are they going to plug Snider into the lineup right away?

 

[Macattk15]

Why in the hell would we make that trade...?

Look at Snider's minor league numbers.

Potential is there. Certainly more potential than Alex Presley.

Who the heck cares about a bullpen arm, not even a closer!

 

[Fenix]

Are they going to plug Snider into the lineup right away?

Why wouldn't they?

 

[The Frankman]

Spinsanity with the PH. Mets with 1 on for Wright up, he needs to stop uppercutting balls.

 

[Brinbe]

Oh boy, control over Lincoln until 2018... fantastic. =\

And don't think Lincoln isn't being brought over to be a bullpen arm... not the way Buck's already hyping him up.

 

[Corran Horn]

lol

 

[Dominican Power]

Pirates are trynna get bats in their lineup the cheap way.

 

[Blearth]

I fucking hate the Hairstons.

 

[The Frankman]

HARD

HITTING

SCOTT

HAIRSTON

Two-run bomb! Tie game!

Possibly his last HR as a Met!

 

[jakncoke]

Theres no reason cutting into a strength by adding someone who isnt going to help us. Its a pointless trade really. Also Snider is 24 and yet to do nothing. If anyone is overvaluing someone its you guys on Snider. Making our team overall worse.. great nh you are awesome!

AAAA guy /yawn.. this move sucks.

I've never seen someone get mad over the loss of a middle reliever before.

 

[clemenx]

Remember the past 2/3 seasons when Lincoln was the biggest bust ever? :lol :lol.

 

[The Frankman]

This is good for the Mets, Turner is actually better vs. RHP.

I've never seen someone get mad over the loss of a middle reliever before.

Pirates fans aren't used to great moves. Gotta latch onto their hometown heroes!

 

[jakncoke]

I've never seen someone get mad over the loss of a middle reliever before.

when it makes your team worse, its annoying. if we're going to trade lincoln at least do it for someone that makes sense.

yes lincoln whom i hate is a bust as a starting pitcher but has had a nice season and one of the reasons our relief stats is amongst the league lead.

how is this a great move :me

 

[The Frankman]

YES! Justin Turner again! PH RBI double off the hanger! 5-4 Mets!

You know what you don't deserve good things.

 

[Corran Horn]

Romo been off lately

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Dodgers and Reds still in on Victorino.

 

[The Frankman]

Scutaro botches the grounder and Turner scores from 2nd! 6-4 game! Suddenly the Mets getting good luck after Hefner had nothing but terrible luck all game?

Because quality middle relievers are the most easily replaceable commodity in baseball while young power hitting OFers are not.

 

[jakncoke]

im laughing so hard that you guys are talking up a dude that cant hit for shit in the majors. this right here is like gaming side god hand discussion. awesome .247 career hitter. but that potential going to shine through any day now!

at least his iso is high -_- if only he hit the ball

You have Alex Presley in RF ....

.... you know what I apologize. If I knew you loved relievers Mets should trade Byrdak for Tabata. Maybe McCutchen for Parnell.

 

[cashman]

Romo been off lately

Wouldn't worry about it yet, got like a month until the season opener.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Keep it up Mets!
