In fact while everyone is calling Bob Klappish a dick for writing that the Mets should deal Johan Santana as the team is constructed today, it's a complelling argument to deal him and start over.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('156705','kranepool'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('156705','kranepool','Rich ,you\'re right about getting younger and in a perfect world Johnny Damon wouldn\'t even be a thought in my mind for the Mets but I\'d rather give Damon 2 yrs than cave to Jason Bay and give him 5.

Why can't we get a 27-year-old stud, who has his career ahead of him?" Yes, we have Johan, but that is exactly one. Why do we get Castillo, Alou, Sheffield, and maybe Molina or Damon? Enough with these fucking guys! Get us a Carl Crawford, an Upton (TB will trade one of them). Give us someone we can rally around. Stop treating the organization like we are ringing a bell outside Shoprite at holiday time. That's me using my junior psychology degree.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('156675','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('156675','Rich','Steve, I think what you\'re reading is our saying \"why do we always have to have re-treads who are past their prime?

He is better than any corner outfielder we've had since Bernard Gilkey put up a (forgotten) monster year. What a sad parade the Mets have put in LF and RF since then. Yeah, we'd be MUCH better off with the rev. al sheffield in left.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('156654','the stork'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('156654','the stork','Damon is a winner.

Shame on T.O & JW for getting beat to the punch on many things by Seattle. Things will not turn around until the Wilpons do what the Maras did...find a George Young and get the hell out of the way.
