2009 Mets Winter Meetings

The start of another season in eMLB. Already getting my draft together I find the team with a few more issues then I like. First moving Furcal for Renteria was a risky move that didnt pan out. Obviously a move I will be careful about next time but with his back issue. I think its for the best I dont have him. As for the rest.. Losing Wright and McCann was big. Both figure to be gone early and most likely will not be back in New Jersey. I am now left with a solid right side of the Infield. Lee and Roberts are near the top at their positions. On the left side all I have is Renteria. I feel confident he will rebound a bit and make a decent option at SS like he was projected last year when he went in round 3. The OF is strong. Hamilton a steal last year is my center part of it. Wells was hurt again and lost track from his MVP start. Should once again begin strong. Hunter Pence did everything I expected of him except for SB.. He hit 25HR and 80+ RBI. I dont think its expecting too much for the same excpet more SB. Jones is a real headcase. Talent but cant focus. Pedro my other bad contract is at the end but is solid for 5 innings. might make an ok 4th or 5th SP. Shields and Danks are top tier and will anchor my staff.


So going into the meetings I am stuck on either letting it play out where I sit or doing what it takes to move up.. I have a little room for error given the quality of the contracts and amount but looking towards future always in my sights as that is what keeps me competitive each season. If I am unable to move up I will most likely move back and try to get more picks or move a few players and work on this year. There is no untouchable player except for the guys I can not move. So have fun contact me with thoughts and ideas and I will see what works.. So far its been light on my side. I think partly because of my dominance over the years. Not many want to trade with me but thats ok. I know how to prepare for draft and that alone will help. Hamilton in round 4 last year is proof of that.
