Cuddyer to Mutts


Admin

Recommended Posts

Its really not that terrible a signing.

 

In 2013, when Cuddyer was healthy, he did hit .311 with an .852 OPS on the road.

 

It costs them a draft pick, but them trading for any bat of his quality would essentially cost them the same thing in reality. And this didnt cost them any of their fantastic young pitching.

 

They will be in competition for a playoff spot next year and depending on what the Marlins do this winter, they may or may not have pushed ahead of them with this move.

Dumb move- he' only hit higher than .284 once and that was when he won the BA title with Colorado. He's entering the twilight of his career and his age 36,37 seasons in a park that surpresses his already limited power, after missing over 100 games last year.

 

He goes where he wants, NY and gets to play with a friend in Wright- but this is a move that should backfire for the Mets. Good for Cuddyer, but the Mets could have gotten his production from a ML rookie fighting for a job.

It's a 2 year deal, they gave a 40 year old 400 pound pitcher more money last year and certainly much better than the Granderson deal. This is not a huge layout, but the pick kind of sucks. But they have to go for it at some point and if Cuddyer can help get them over that hump (they'll need a SS too) than go for it.

He could sure flash the leather though

 

 

I would be in favor of having Ventura, Olerud, Alfonso, Ordonez and Piazza coming out of retirement and playing in Miami for a month.

 

Seriously- I'm sure Piazza could still hit and field better than Salty.

 

He can certainly hit better than Mathis.
