Blogging Again

Was completely bored at work and remembered that I started this blog 4 years ago when I was in college. Figured why not start blogging again, thats what all the cool kids(and dads, grandpas, just about everyone) are doing. Maybe its the fact that for the first time since 2010 there is some optimism surrounding this team. Finally looks like our GM has a plan and the Wilpons are letting him follow thru with it.


I know none of the three big signings are particularly sexy but hey be happy our team is finally spending some money. Finally trying to put a better product on the field for the fans. So far they have succeeded, we added some much need power in Granderson and hopefully with Young. At the sametime we vastly improved our outfield which has been a revolving door for years. We may have one of the best defensive outfields in baseball.


We also went out and got a veteran pitcher who can eat up some innings until Thor, Montero, and DeGrom. That veteran pitcher just happen to win 18 games last year with a sparkling 2.65 era too. Is it a risk at 2 years $20 million? Yes of course, but not much of one considering his durability over the last three years and potential trade value.


All in all I'm happy with the moves the Mets have made so far. None of the signings are perfect but they aren't terrible either (see Carlos Ruiz). There are still moves to be made, we need another veteran arm for rotation and the bullpen. We need atleast another option at SS, preferably with some offensive skills.


The off-season isn't over and I have faith Alderson will continue what he has started!
