Art Howe was boring, and managed baseball with as little creativity as possible, but he didn't go in front of the cameras and sell out his players after every loss, he wasn't such a moron that he played old has beens like Tatis instead of kids in September and he wouldn't have suddenly made Schneider the personal catcher for Pelfrey and take bats and experience away from Thole. Your current a-hole manager had a team going down the drain and still had his kids rotting away. At least Art Howe was smart enough to play them. 10. You think every non signing is positive news, oops except for Laroche, excuse the booboo. Delcos is as positive as Jeffy and Jerry and new puppet Ricco deserve. 8.

They were allowed to play and grow because the Mets were lousy in 2003/2004. If the Mets were supposed to contend then, who knows how that would have changed. Look, I by no means am saying that F-Mart should be up in the bigs. He needs a full healthy season IMO unless he is ripping the cover off the ball the first 3 or 4 months or so of the season. But not every player who gets pushed thru the system quickly ends up busting. (6) You mean that mastermind Art Howe? They were allowed to play and grow because the Mets were lousy in 2003/2004.

Big difference between Wright/Reyes and FMART is that when the former were broguht up they were allowed to play and develop by managers who knew the situation and let them grow. FMART has an a-hole for a manager, one who played the last month of a 70 win season as if he were fighting for a playoff spot. FMART under this guy would be very bad unless he starts out on fire and stays that way until the jerk is fired. Even if he were on fire, he'd end up in the dog house for some reason and end up rotting on the bench. 5.

The player you are referring to I am sure is Parnell, but what you don't realize is that he wasn't that good to begin with. And of course why should any Met fan get excited about anything. After all, it wouldn't be your blog if we were able to be happy for a minute. (3) Dan: I remember Benny Ayala quite well. As a matter of fact he went on to have a nice World Series in 1979 with the Orioles if i'm not mistaken.

He had a good Caribbean World Series in 1974, hit something like .477. Coming off a World Series loss, there was a lot of speculation he might help the team. He couldn't make the squad but resurfaced in the summer to become the first Met to homer in his first at bat. Other than that, he did very little as a Met although five years later he resurfaced in Baltimore where Earl Weaver knew how to get the best out of his ability as a platoon hitter/DH. I hope that besides not rushing F Mart back, the Mets impress upon him the need to hustle all the time. That stunt he pulled in not running out a pop fly early in his career will stick until he does enough to make people forget it. Anybody remember Benny Ayala?
