Kevin Mitchell played a key role in the Mets 1986 World Series win, yet we traded him and he went on to be a power hitter for the Giants. If the Mets are going to be successful for years to come they have to have patience with their young players and give them time to develop. We have lost too many young stars and have gotten back older and less athletic players in return. We have made too many of these win now moves and it doesn't work.
We are moving toward relevancy for sure but we can't keep bringing in relievers who can't take the pressure and give up late inning homeruns. In reality we should be 10-0 right now in the last 10 games. Friday night was a perfect example as Bashelor coughed it up again.
