Whats so bad about Mets fans , at least we are loyal

Agreed, Francoeur has a .280 OBP last year I mean find the worst hitter in your teams line up and look at his OBP that will show you just how bad Francoeur has been. I like the trade if the Mets send Jeff down the minors and let him get back to fundamentals and learning how to be patient because it is becoming obvious you can't have this in your line up during a pennant race.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5rAqqrtg9M Yeah exactly thats why they had to invent a saying for him lol Mauer's biggest point of value is his biggest kill of value. Franchise catchers are very difficult to find, they are so difficult to find because they break down and get injured and have short careers. There is a reason only one catcher has hit over 400 homeruns in a season. I can't see a team putting together a huge package for Mauer knowing he plays catcher. Especially an NL team knowing Mauer only catches about 120 games a year. This is also the reason I can never see a team committing 200 Mil guaranteed to Mauer when he hits the FA market next year.

we don't know if he can do that either but we assume, cute. I heard Taylor Drabek Happ Donald That would also probably be the max I could see the Phillies give up in the deal Meanwhile from the Mets it would require Fernando Martinez Wilmer Flores Jonathan Niese Brad Holt I wouldn't probably mind that if the Mets were winning the division right now but with us in 4th and this year being in doubt it'd be a dumb deal I was never trying to get at that I was merely pointing out the fact why Manny gets away with things that Hanley shouldn't. No matter you are right this is getting retarded.

He would win it too because hes clutch

FINE! That is why Hanley is not as valuable as a David Wright, Wright can win a game with a bat and a glove. Hanley just a bat, and yes by including them together you were comparing them.

Your comparing apples to oranges. Manny is in LF you can hide a player in LF, ESPECIALLY in Fenway, also no one would put Manny as a top 5 player either. Hanley is a SS. Which as I say again is the most important position on the field. If Hanley where in LF like Ryan Braun he could probably afford to play like he does. However that would take a knock to his value because everyone knows a SS is more valuable than an outfielder.

First of all your wrong in consider LeBron would require the most in a trade out of any athlete. Especially considering the NBA has a salary cap and in order to keep LeBron you pretty much have to commit 40% of your cap to him. Secondly I said that was a joke for I think the third or fourth time now.... Finally, Wright is pretty sexy Glad you can just throw away 50% away of the game right there. The Marlins must be pretty dumb then putting a player who is there for nothing more than swinging the bat and putting him at the most important position on the field besides pitcher.

I honestly don't here anyone talking about his flaws at all, I hear everyone talking about how amazing he is and continuing to say how he has the highest trade value out of any player which is pretty silly. Comparing Manny to Hanley is also a stretch you said it yourself Manny is one of the greatest hitters of all time he is given a pass for his antics. Plus LF is not a position you count on for defense your SS is supposed to be your best defender.

I bet they wish Lars was performing so they could get his feet wet here.

:P :) As long as we have DeMarcus we have a shot at winning

I don't see what you're getting at here? How did this go from Hanley to Manny and what point are you trying to make, you think Manny is top 5 too?

Somewhat true, yet it does matter a lot. The more the fans like a player the more of the players products they will sell. Ex. Delgado played better than Wright last year BUT Wright is far more marketable therefore sold a lot more Jerseys and T-shirts and sold more tickets yada yada yada. Uhm then why couldn't the Giants land amazing prospects for Bonds. A decent argument with a horrible example. BTW if you can't read I already explained how marketable players can benefit a franchise. ? I admitted already that was a joke, leave it to you to bring that up again. Hanley Ramirez may be the most over rated player in baseball. He is a remarkable hitter and has rare 40/40 potential. However he plays absolutely no defense, makes a lot of lazy/dumb plays that should be avoided, and doesn't hustle on a lot of plays. He has a long way to go before I'd say he's a top 5 baseball player.

Saw the video on the News after the Mets game

haha "if you hate Michael Jackson you hate black people"

See that is why you are ignorant. First of all I never said he was the MVP. Second of all I was joking about him being sexy adds to his value, although he is. Third of all a marketable player is very important to a franchise it creates more revenue so you can sign better players. JACKASS!

Jeff Francoeur's first at bat Bases loaded, 1 out. 1-1 Pitch, lofted into right field for 2 RBI's . I still miss Church.

lol Uribe is a utility player and watch the replay pal he waits back then at the last second breaks for it when its too late, he played the inbetween hop. It was an error and it [expletive]ed Sanchez over.

He's also sexy as hell

Ray Allen Rashard Lewis Mo Williams Ben Gordon Peja Stojakovic Daequan Cook

I'd be interested in joining...DIBS on Cowboys!

Last year he missed half the year because of a concussion. Jeff Francoeur batting 5th for us tonight.
