oh, well, there's always next year...

met fans are all about pride.. thats why we think we have a chance even tho we upgraded 2 outta the 5 spots we needed .. lol .. i hope they get williamson i think he could be a good closer if he stays healthy and doesnt have to worry about going from the pen to starter to being traded.. i also hear we might sign payton back to play right.. i think that wouldnt be terrible.. it looks like he matured alot in colorado .. even on the road and was able to stay healthy so maybe since we wont be sticking him in center he will be able to produce for us second time around

I was about to disagree with you...then I saw Payton's H/A splits. He was better at home, yes, but his HR total was actually more away. 25-30 HR with a .280 is not out of the question.

[DK]

Also, he better play a ton of Day games... in about 56 day games, he hit 15 HR and 50 RBI. In 101 Night games, he hit 13 HR and 39 RBI.

i was thinkin like 280 20-25hr 80 rbi and about 80 runs.. plus hes good defensively with an avg arm.. bring him back home!!!

Payton? as in Jay? .... Is there an empty seat in your league ..?

Jay actually hit more HR away than at home. RBI is all dependent on how the rest of his team is/gets on base. I think 25-30 HR is not out of the question.

.322 home
.281 road ..

thats all I need to know ... and he was a career .260 hitter at Shea. Why would you guys have wanted him back ?

[DK]

I didn't say I wanted him back. I'm just saying he was a capable hitter. At .280 even away from Coors, that's a pretty dependable guy.

[Absolutely Adequate]

And he's got the tools. He was easily the best hitter on that GA Tech team that featured him, Nomar, and Veratek.

Easily.

Easily.

that was over 10 years ago I think we can conclude that he is no Nomah' or Varitek. What is Payton now .. 32 -- 33 ???

[Absolutely Adequate]

Fair enough. I wasn't saying that he's better than either now, only that he does have some latent talents that he never seemed to tap into at Shea.

You sure spend a lot of time in the Mets forum.
