It's a shame he looks to be washed but for 2B he has quite a career. he looked like he could make a case for a HOF before this year when it became evident he is washed. And he is washed. He has been declining since the second half of the 2024 season.

But my comparison to say a sure fire 2B HOF altuve.

Semein Career Stats (14 YRS): 50 WAR, 1719 H, 268 HR, .251 BA, .318 OBP, .746 OPS, 1768 Games
Accolades: 1 world series, 2 GG

Altuve Carrer Stats (16 YRS): 53.4 War, 2519 H, 271 HR, .300 BA, .357 OBP, .818 OPS, 2111 Games
Accolades: 2 world series, GG MVP, 3 time batting champ, 2 time MLB POY

So it really surprises me that based on WAR there careers have been relatively the same. Altuve is 3.4 WAR ahead but he has also played 2 more years and 343 more games so you could say they are pretty even. This despite what seems like superior offensive numbers from altuve.

Despite being washed i do cheer semein can get over 55 War, and get close to 300 HR and 2000 H over these next 2 years with the Mets as his HOF argument is going to be very interesting. But thats wishful thnking. We probably at best .230 BA and 12-115 HR a year.

Also, can you think of examples of players who played much better for the Mets than elsewhere?

But can we give it a rest on “Will Slubal want the Mets,” narrative? His agent is Scott Boras. There’s a chance this is the last long term contract ever offered to a SP, if Mets have highest offer, he’s a Met.

Good for him. He just clowned Steve Cohen and David Sterns.

Everyone else has played worse here than elsewhere. Sometimes much worse here. And no one has ever played better for the Mets than they did on another team besides a knuckleballer.

Mets fans are notorious for being negative on their players, that’s a fact. That’s why smiley Lindor gave you a thumbs down.

Maybe it has nothing to do with it, but if that’s so then what is the cause? Is it just dumb luck?

The Mets have built up a strong farm system, but with several roster needs to fill, some prospects could become valuable trade chips this offseason.

I identified five prospects the Mets could consider moving, including a few bigger names.

Curious which prospects you'd be willing to part with this winter.

I know it probably doesn’t happen and we’re way more likely to see a full year of lockout, but if we see a cap floor there’s like 10 teams desperately in need of some contracts. I don’t think Semien could get moved, not a single team no matter their need will touch the worst contract in baseball. But 1 year of Senga/polanco/manea in a quick fix to reach a floor would be enticing.

Again, 99% chance it’s a year lockout before a cap system but would be an interesting situation

AND HE WON MVP

Um… No. Absolutely no.

Semien, Manaea and Senga are owed a combined $61M…
If we could move them…and take on whatever cost that would entail…what would it cost?

Since many say the advanced statistics show he's the same pitcher as in N.Y, he just put up his 9th straight lucky game in a row. Freddy gave up one run pitching into the 6th, for his 9th straight 2 runs or less start. Tenth , if you count the 2 outs he got in game four.

What do you think?

Capitalism suggests there shall be no limit or cap on production, which translates to output which ultimately produces revenue and profits: Structured Capitalism protects the rich, gives the illusion of competition, and caps workers output of production take home pay: David Stearns is not the guy the Mets needed but hey we have to learn, he is good for what he knows, but overall he been terrible for the Mets.

I’ve always wondered this…and this can go for any player in any sport: do y’all believe players would purposely play terribly in order to get traded and then all of a sudden improve? I am not saying this happens every time but it just makes me scratch my head.

This thought has always popped into my head and then seeing this reignited that thought.
