Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 1795528, member: 210"] I'm not sure what else they can do at this point... the whole Mets system has been so unbalanced toward pitching. Sandy has done a poor job of getting positional prospects to come through and they just let the best positional prospect they developed in the last 5 years walk for a draft pick which they then used on another pitcher. If you look at the team there are zero home grown hitters who are worth anything on the major league club. Conforto has potential but it looks like the pressure has gotten to him and even he's given in to the pull the ball, all or nothing philosophy of Long. I never believed in D'arnaud as he has been extremely inconsistent when healthy. Duda has had potential but he's one of those guys who when hot is scorching but when he's not gives you NOTHING. Flores has proven nothing at the major league level but some potential. And that's it... that's the Mets homegrown position players on the big league club. I think it's time to trade 2 of their starters... realistically Harvey ain't singing with the Mets so he's the primary candidate in my mind... and for the record I don't blame Harvey for leaving the Mets given how he has been treated by the fan base this year and last. The kid pitched his arm off last year and it's not his fault that Collins left him stay in the game last November... Harvey's job is to want the ball and to never want to come out of games, Coliins' job is to take the emotion out of it and do the right thing for the team and his players. Everyone forgets that Harvey has yet to land the big contract, if I was Boras I would have tried to do the same thing last year to protect the kid's future. It still disgusts me how Mets nation turned on Harvey this year when he was struggling. [/QUOTE]
