Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5444229, member: 173"] I think you are giving the Wilpon-era Mets too much credit in assuming they had a coherent plan, even if it was a bad one. I figured Sterns would make a huge improvement in the farm system, and the trades in ‘23 probably accelerated that process by 2-3 years. Farm system is so much better now than 5-6 years ago. Baty feels like a guy who might have it click at some point and he’ll be off to the races. I’m not sure with where the team is now trying for a championship, that they can afford to keep waiting. It wouldn’t shock me if the Mets trade him and he turns into a three-time All-Star - I’d accept that though and wouldn’t put it in the “LolMets” bucket if it happens. [/QUOTE]
