Iceberg Right Ahead: Mets' Ship is Sinking

The guys who have replaced the injured stars have let go, even though they promised not to.

I still can't forgive Rose. She told Jack Dawson that she would never let go, but then she did. There was plenty of room on the big door when she was waiting in the ocean to be rescued, but she was more concerned for her own well-being.

Sounds like someone we know right? It is the story of the 2009 Mets.

They have hid behind their injuries and stopped playing. I have heard all of the arguments. How can a team win when they are missing three of their top offensive players? Simple. People need to step up. Not only has the hitting been pathetic, but the pitching has been spotty as well.

Even Johan Santana has joined the parade of guys who have disappointed recently.

This makes me think. Maybe it is time to sell on some of the guys who hold some value. Guys who I am referring to are Pedro Feliciano and Gary Sheffield. Matt Cerrone on Metsblog reported that two AL teams indicated interest in Sheffield prior to his hammy acting up, and he also speculated about the Rockies being interested in Pedro Feliciano.

I think it's time to deal both of these guys. Cash in while you can. The season is no longer going to be mustered into anything significant, so the Mets need to turn their focus to replenishing their anemic farm system. Omar can probably get two or three decent prospects for the two guys, and he should do it.

Then we need to see what the young guys can do.

I hate to say this to everyone, but this team is not coming back, at least while guys like Anderson Hernandez are playing everyday.
