At the conclusion of every NY teams season, the Daily Snooze takes a poll about whether or not the team should keep or get rid of their players. After the conclusion of the World Series, they did the Mets. Here are the results. If I agreed with them, I put it in CAPS. I also supplied my $0.02. (naturally)
Matt Harvey KEEP 85 dump 15: Though if I had to trade one of our guns for a big bat, it would probably be him.
Ruben Tejada KEEP 67-33. All glove no hit SS became our rallying cause after getting nailed by Chase Utley. He may never be the same but at least deserves a shot.
Wilmer Flores KEEP- 81-19. Pulled a disappearing act during the WS, but how can you get rid of a guy who wanted to stay so bad, he broke down when he thought he was traded. I heard a story one time about a Met who got traded in the middle of a game, and he drove himself to the airport in full uniform, he couldn't wait to get out of here .
Yoenis Cespides DUMP 78-27 Yes he carried us from August 1 till September 15, then did squat the rest of the way. Was a liability in the WS, at the plate, in the field, and on the base paths. Some idiot is going to pay this guy over 120 million dollars. It's not going to be the Wilpons, thank God.
Bartolo Colon: dump 41-59. I love big Bart, and he did a great job. But I have a general rule about athletes who are older and fatter than me. I try to avoid them.
David Wright: KEEP 79-21: The one big contract the Mets gave out will probably come back to haunt us. But he deserves a chance to win after all the years of losing.
Daniel Murphy: DUMP 59-41: I'm torn on this one. He got us to the Series, then blew it for us. Was also here during the lean years. I'd keep him for a reasonable price, but if he wants a big payday, he can go elsewhere.
Curtis Granderson KEEP 95-5: our most consistent performer this year. He's a gamer and therefore a keeper.
Michael Conforto: KEEP 95-5: Not sure he's going to be as great as some of the big guys he's being compared to, can't wait to find out though.
Michael Cuddyer: DUMP: 85-15. The 15 percent who want to keep him are either his relatives or Yankees fans.
Travis d'Arnaud: KEEP 80-20. The knock on him is that he can't throw out any base stealers. Neither could Mike Piazza. And Imus once said that Gary Carter couldn't catch Nell Carter trying to steal. But they can all hit.
Lucas Duda KEEP 54-46: Streaky hitter who cost us Game 5 in the field. I'd trade him for a better glove and more consistent bat at first, but I wouldn't dump him outright.
Kelly Johnson: DUMP Don't have an opinion on him one way or another. Buhbye
Juan Lagares: KEEP 83-17. Would love to see more stick from him. Solid glove in the OF.
Juan Uribe: KEEP 72-28 Good clubhouse guy and bat off the bench.
Noah Syndergaard , Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz KEEP 97-3. Again the 3 percent who said dump are probably Yankee fans looking to pay them 30 million a year.
Jeryus Familia:KEEP 88-12. Waited till the WS to turn into a bum. Still I had it pointed out to me that at least one of the blown saves were not his fault. Had a monster regular season.
Tyler Clippard: DUMP-79-21. Can't believe it was that close. This should have been Regan-Mondale landslide to get him out of town.
Jennry Mejia: DUMP 77-23. Druggie we don't need
Hansel Robles KEEP Not sure he'll amount to much. Would like to find out.
Carlos Torres DUMP 77-23 who? Exactly
