...so Chipper Jones decided it was a good idea to make comments regarding David Wright receiving the Gold Glove award this year...let me first say this...David Wright was not the best defensive 3rd baseman...if my personal opinion...I would have liked to see Ryan Zimmerman win it...He deserved it...that being said...SHUT UP CHIPPER...honestly, who cares what you have to say...how about some class?...you make it sound like Wright was out lobbying for the award...lets review this shall we...it's a voted award and the mets can't vote for their own players...so tell me...how is he at fault for winning and why does he deserve to be doubted like that?...especially from someone who is looked up to as a great player in the game...why make comments like that...maybe wright won it because all around he plays the game right...all out and with class...maybe you could learn the class part from wright...take notes...
...on another note...congrats David Wright and Carlos Beltran...a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award each...I like that 3-4 punch in the lineup...I hope it stays the same for next year...congrats guys...
...so my projected lineup for 2008...who knows...the more I think about it...the more I feel that Lo Duca will be back and the field will pretty much stay the same with the exception of Milledge full time in right...I am hoping for one solid starting pitcher move and one bullpen move...I say move el duque to the bullpen...spot start and solid relief...also keeping the health risks down...Give a young guy (Pelfrey, Humber, or Mulvey) a starting rotation spot...and then see what you got with some minor leaguers for the bullpen...
...I do think Wright is really going to take the team by the helm this year and i think Jose Reyes will re-find himself and be the catalyst and a leader as well...I feel with Milledge getting full time in right he will start off slow and some time in May/June find his stroke and use all fields...plus I think they should bat Lo Duca 8th to give Milledge some protection and clear the pitcher's spot more often...
...projected stats for 2008 assuming the lineup doesn't change...
Jose Reyes .303 16 HR 88 RBI
Luis Castillio .298 2 HR 58 RBI
David Wright .328 35 HR 125 RBI
Carlos Beltran .280 32 HR 127 RBI
Moises Alou .314 21 HR 88 RBI
Carlos Delgado .272 25 HR 80 RBI
Lastings Milledge .283 12 HR 72 RBI
Paul Lo Duca .295 9 HR 65 RBI
...that's all for now...
