So it doesn’t bother me a whole lot. I’ve seen variations of this mentioned many time around the interwebs already, but when you DFA your opening day 3 hole hitter (Mike Jacobs) 11 days in, its time to clean house. The Mets have a bad GM and a bad manager at this point and they consistently do things that reinforce that if you ever have any doubts. Many of their plans not only turn out terrible, but most of what they’ve been trying to do recently had pretty much zero chance of success to begin with. JD actually just wrote something about Ike yesterday.

Its a shame Felix Pie got hurt. He was really poised to break out. He’s still very young. Next year he turns 26 and I’ll be pegging him for a breakout again. Its a moot point now, but I felt he clearly was a superior option to the hobbled Reimold. Pie was a much better defender (essentially a CF playing LF) and I easily could have seen him having a breakout season with the bat like Reimold did last year.

I’m not at all surprised Brad Bergesen got sent down. What would be surprising is if he ever makes a MLB rotation again. He’s a pretty bad pitcher with bad peripherals who got lucky for one season on balls in play. These balls hit right at fielders were interpreted by some fans as a kind of innate pitchability in Bergesen that made them slightly optimistic about his future. He is not a good pitcher.

I wrote a post on him yesterday. I won’t repeat what I wrote there, but this reaks of Omar trying to save his job and him not having a plan.

My biggest concern with Davis is that he still hasn’t proven that he can hit lefties and maybe the MLB isn’t the best place for him to learn (or maybe it is).
