How do you propose he would be able to set up his lower half in the baseline and in front of home plate, while simultaneously catching the ball 6 feet to his right? Again, it would take someone with a nine-foot-long arms.

Keith's an idiot.

That doesn't mean we can't enjoy watching him right now, but at the same time be realistic. Or be prepared for a serious letdown two months from now when he's hitting .220.

And as for Niese being untouchable, I'm pretty darn sure that John was being facetious, teasing the Mets fans who think Niese is the next Sandy Koufax.
How the heck you went from the argument of Manuel being an irresponsible rockhead to the Cliff Lee debate is amazing, though -- gotta give you props for that one! :-)

I"m not sure how you figure Tejada can "do" all those things after watching him play in a dozen MLB games. Dan Murphy looked like Wade Boggs after 100 ABs, so what?
How about we wait 3-4 years and then compare the two players?

Second, I was not part of the "we all thought it was a good deal because the Mets gave up nothing for Putz". If you took the time to read my original post analyzing the trade (there was a link to it in the Vargas article), you would not be charging me with using hindsight. In fact I mentioned both the fact that trading Vargas would come back to haunt the Mets AND that Putz was a risk because of his elbow issues. When you get a chance please read it: http://www.metstoday.com/2731/mets-opinion/breaki...
But the main point you seem to be missing is that the reason the Mets don't have depth in their farm system is not because they keep trading it away, but because they have done a horrible job of drafting, signing, and developing talent.
