Next year adds Pudge and Manny. I think it's Pudge, Bagwell, Hoffman, and probably Raines that get in. Manny may suffer from PED questions with Clemens and Bonds, but if not the he's in and either Hoffman, Bagwell, or Raines misses out.

Been a crap week with Everton but having the Mets sign Cespedes has been pretty sweet

Is he boss?
Carried us most of the second half of the season- Yoenis Cespedes, the Cuban outfielder

Ah yeah remember seeing his name.
How have they signed a player who already played for them?
Like a new contract?
He was a free agent (contract expired) so he could have gone and signed for any team. At the end of the season, it didn't look like they would be able to bring him back but the market for hitters softened and he declined a larger offer from the Nationals to return. It's a big relief since he brings a lot of power to the line-up

Any other boss signings?
Or big losses for that matter?
Hope they kept DeGrom and Harvey. Those names always stood out last year.
The biggest loss is Daniel Murphy, though due to his age and defensive liabilities, that should be able to be worked around. Brought in experienced middle infielders at shortstop (Cabrera) and second base (Neil Walker). Oh, and they signed a relief pitcher named Bastardo. Imagine sales for that jersey will be strong

Hahahahaha - YES
Love The Mets.
Who was that closing pitcher I kept noticing last year? Familia or something?
Yup. Familia, that's right. Hope he's alright next year and doesn't bring along some of the psychological baggage. The World Series was pretty cruel for him

Ouch. I'd probably just go with a hat
