Brian Cole was a 5 tool player the Mets drafted in 1997. He could do it all. I am attaching his stats to this episode description. Tragically he was killed in a car accident March 31, 2001. When players that teams are counting on in their future don't materialize it can set a team back for 10 years. This guy was Strawberry-ish and could have been a player that led the Mets for years to come. A tragedy for sure. Every team has players that they look to for their future when they don't pan out the team can be at a great lose.
The Nationals series was great we took 2 out of 3. We should be clicking out heals together. We need to realize that the team has won 15 of their last 17 and still only 4 games over .500. We needed to step on the neck of the Nationals and swept the series. The Mets need to find another closer; fast, and Diaz needs to be sent to the minors to figure it out. Atlanta is the team to beat and were going to see what the Mets have in the tank as the start their next series with the Braves.
