  • I would buy low on Conforto, for sure. he just got out of rhythm, and he'll get it back. Mets also want him to be starting in 2017, which is important to evaluations....

    • I think buying low on Conforto is a great idea but I have a little twist on things. I'm rebuilding in my 11-team NL-only and a contending owner has him at $4 but to make it worth my while I would have to extend him to $14 through 2019 - is he the kind of player that's worth that?

        I think he's worth that, with a little profit. I'd see him as a high teens player with upside to low 20s.

          I disagree with Chance here...he's shown that he CAN be that 14 buck player, but is he going to be that player? I think that he was promoted too soon, and was eventually overmatched...and the lefty split certainly didn't help. He needs to learn how to hit leftys, or he's going to end up with a Seth Smith platoon kind of career. Not necessarily bad, but not someone I'd go out of my way to roster.

            Agree with this.

            • yeah, I like him but don't make the mistake of erasing all the profit. Can you have him at $9 thru 2018? that's more like it.

              I'm consistently confused by the vast popularity here and elsewhere of adding the max years at the expense of max profit. if a guy like Conforto turns out to be a $20 player the next two years, does it make more sense to think "geesh, I wish I had him one more year at $14" instead of "sweet, I got $20 production out of a player who only cost me $9, and I can see how that helped me cash!"

              the other possibility is he craps out, in which case you don't eat much of a deficit by only paying $9.

              • Jude's points are very good. $9 through '18 is an excellent idea.

                • Our league requires at least a 2-year extension so it's either keep him for $4 next year or extend him to 2019 for $14 every year. If I owned him now I'd probably just ride it out but if I'm going to give up quality pieces to trade for him I'd want to be able to extend him.

                  I believe there's a minor injury at play as well - didn't he tweak his wrist a while back?

                  • Syndergaard hurt tonight, barking elbow, Matz may be heading for elbow surgery (bone spur), and what does classless Terry Collins do? Belittles the longtime PR guy for the Mets, Jay Horowitz...calling him a "puppy dog". A truly classless act.

                    New York Mets manager Terry Collins delivered a cheap shot at veteran team PR director Jay Horwitz during his postgame media session on Wednesday.

                    Collins was not going to address star pitcher Noah Syndergaard leaving the Mets' 4-3 win over the Royals with an elbow injury until Horwitz apparently made a request for him to do so. Collins reacted negatively to the suggestion and then mocked the media relations VP by calling him a “puppy dog.”

                    “The puppy dog wants you guys to know that Noah Syndergaard’s seeing the doctor,” Collins said. “His elbow flared up on him. That’s why I took him out of the game.”

                    • So, Thor has a bone spur but he's pitching through it. Matz has a bone spur, WAS pitching through it, but is now having too much pain to keep doing so. Conforto got a cortisone shot in his wrist, and got sent to the minors instead of going on the DL.

                      In other words, a typical day for the Mets.

                        He did. And I saw it as short term. However, I keep forgetting about the blaring incompetence - or, at least worse outcomes on injuries - of the Mets medical staff.

                        • Wheeler has been pushed back several times, but I still have hopes for a stretch run.

                            • Mets watchers...Nimmo: starting spot his for the rest of the year if he hits ok? Or Duda to LF, Loney stays at 1B? Or is Conforto on his way back from AAA soon and this is just a cup of coffee for Nimmo?

                                If Conforto plays well in AAA (and so far he's 4-for-12 with 2 BBs) then yeah, this is a cup of coffee for Nimmo.
