Carlos Delgado has a higher OPS+ than Ryan Howard.
Delgado probably would be a solid option for 2009 if he is platooned, depending on how he finishes the year. That said, who plays first in 2010 and beyond? Mike Carp has really been struggling in AA recently (.374 slugging percentage since April, no XBH in July). Ike Davis is looking like a bust as he's been putrid in A-ball.
Delgado's defense has been a bigger problem this year than the last two when he was around average. I still think Teixeira is the right move.
Nothing like jumping to a quick conclusion, eh? At least Havens and Holt have been showing good stuff . . . .
A supplemental first-round pick out of UNC Wilmington, Holt delivered his best professional outing yet by pitching seven shutout innings and striking out 10 in a game against State College. Holt struck out the game's first four batters and retired the leadoff batter in each of the first six innings. His first start did not go well, but since then Holt has allowed three earned runs in 20 2/3 innings, as hitters are struggling to catch up to his 94 mph fastball.
Not bad, eh?
Davis is supposed to do well in Low-A as a college hitter. But he has only walked once, hasn't hit a homer in 84 AB, and has a .589 OPS. That's not good.
Davis has been very disappointing. I would be more excited with Havens if I weren't worried so much about that elbow.
I pick up Delgado's option and see how Evans and Carp do next year. Which 1B options will be available in 2010?
No, it's not good. But it's also only 84 ABs, and he could just be pressing. All I'm saying is it's WAY too soon to draw any conclusions.

Those are the guys that could be free agents after 2009.
Watching Maine pitch can be painful at times.
No, thank you.
Mat Gamel?
We're not exactly going to have a surplus after Perez leaves, and Pedro retires.
One of which is playing in this game.
No, thank you.
Good lord. Have you learned NOTHING from penciling in Moises Alou for a starting position? If you sign Nick Johnson and expect him to play 1B for you, and then he's out for the season on April 22nd, what is your Plan B????
That's the thing about free agency. What the team "has to" do may not dovetail with what the player decides to do, leaving your favorite team screwed big-time . . . . Ollie Perez may just decide he'd rather play in California. Or in the Bronx. Or who the heck knows where, or for whom. The Mets can't assume he'll come back, regardless of the team's needs. All we know, because of who is agent is, is that he WILL explore the market. Which means he MIGHT leave.
Fernando leads off with a triple. Evans is going to need to prove he can hit enough to stick as a 1Bman.
Truth be told, I am ambivalent about the Mets re-signing Perez. If he pitches well enough the rest of the way to be a Type-A free agent, you could sign someone else like a Derek Lowe, whose production you can be much more certain of, for less money and less year and gain one draft pick. Lowe doesn't have the upside of Perez but he doesn't have the downside. He'd be much cheaper and he's very reliable.
They laugh.
I don't mind Tatis going for it there on Dunn.
That would be fine, say, if Doc Halladay was pitching.
He's actually an average defensive leftfielder. He is 24 years old and a .600 career slugging percentage. They laugh.
Nice ballpark.
Need to tie this game here.
Sincerely,
C&M;
Bring Beltran home, Delgado.
I wouldn't call that one pulling a Maine. That's called being scared of Dunn after seeing Bruce's pop fly homer. That was a pitch around.
Maybe, but if so it was a risky one. Encarnacion could easily have made it a 3-run mistake with one swing. If it was a strategy, Maine certainly made it pay off with one pitch.
Now for the dinky single.
THROW ####### STRIKES!!!
