if the mets can somehow get another prospect/player out of LA, I'd do it in a second. if it's just Piazza for Green, I still might do it. |

yeah well i don't think it really does, green has been average at best the last 2 seasons, he's a very streaky hitter, more streaky then piazza, honestly i'd rather keep mike!!! :peace: |

So has Piazza, and at least Green can play D. Moving him for Green helps the team by getting a catcher that can actually throw someone out. |

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Green isn't an impact player. His contributions could only be here one season. If Piazza goes back to LA it would be like he's going home. That could mean Piazza in the HOF wearing a Dodgers cap. Keep Piazza in NY, dont deal him. I want him to unainmously be voted in as a Met!!!!! It would suck so much if Piazza ever went in as a Dodger, 10x worse then Gary Carter as an Expo!!! :no: |

Why is it so important that he goes to the HOF as a Met? I never got that. |

i think doing this trade gives us the best chance to win. we get a lefty bat, upgraded defense in the outfield and at catcher and a younger player. i know it would suck to see piazza leave, but it would help the mets |

Its a very big deal. Its part of Mets history. One of the best and most clutch hitters the Mets ever had, for him not to go in as a Met would be a shame. |

Silliness. The fans will always remember him, and they're probably gonna retire his number. He'll be rememebered as a Met one way or the other. They shouldn't hurt the team beacuse of the HOF. |

Which is why its good you dont run the team. Green is younger, can play 1B and OF and puts up the same numbers as Piazza, I would do the deal in a second. Plus he is Jewish, so that doesnt hurt either :rock: |

When I first heard it, I didn't like it. But after thinking about it, it does make a lot of sense. It gives us alot of flexibility. It allows the opportunity to still look for an OF or a 1B, whichever is better because Green plays both pos. Also Delgado is a good friend of Green. I know this was said last year when Delgado was rumored to go to LA, but this is still fact. Maybe this would make the Mets getting Delgado more probable. It's an interesting deal that I think makes some sense for both teams. |

It's not a deal that makes you extremely happy, but it's a deal that makes your team better simply by getting rid of Piazza's defensive liabilities and his injury concerns. Green's nothing special, but he's versatile and can give you .270-25-90, which would be more than Piazza will probably give this late in his career. |

Of course you wouldn't feel the same about a player going to the HOF as we do........half of Cooperstown is filled with Yankees. There's one Met in the Hall. |

shut up amit, if piazza was to go back to LA it's possible he could go into the hall of fame as a dodger and for me and alot of met fans the hall of fame is very important! this isn't the yankees where they have 10 million players in the hall of fame, the mets if i'm correct only have seaver in the hall of fame as a met, when hall of fame players come around you have to keep them! green is not a MAJOR improvement over piazza, i honestly think the mets are better off keeping piazza, just look at both players stats from last season: green: .266 28 86 piazza: .266 20 54 it's not a major difference between both players so f*ck green, i'd rather keep piazza!!! :peace: |

Yeah, 8 more HR and 32 RBI isn't a big differece at all. :serious: I understand that he's a fan favorite and all, but you can't sacrifice a season just so you'll get a player to go into the HOF as a Met. |

Also, Green is a guy you can keep for about 4 more years, if he performs well and the Mets choose to re-sign him. Piazza's here for one more year and he's gone. |

amit let's not get silly, 8 homeruns and 32 rbi's isn't a big difference, 15 homeruns and 50 rbi's, now that's a difference and this isn't sacrificing a season, this is shawn green we are talking about not albert f*cking pujols!!! |

what are you talking about, green has had 2 shitty seasons in a row, why would the mets want to sign a mediocre player like him for 4 more years, piazza will only be around for 1 more season so if anything the mets can move on a year from now!!! |

green batted .266 with 28 homeruns and 86 rbi's, that isn't a good season and piazza the last 2 seasons has been hurt and has been switching positions, if he is steady for 1 whole season and is healthy he'll have a good season maybe not an old piazza kind of season but a good one! honestly who's more dangerous of a hitter, green has holes in his swing and is probably the streakest (sp) player in the game, piazza might be aging and not at his best but he is still a dangerous hitter, pitchers fear him and don't laugh cause it's true!!! |

And green the last two seasons has been hurt and has been switching positions. They're essentially the same player, except for the fact that Green plays better defense. |

They're equal offensively. If anything, Green is a little better. |

They're essentially the same hitting wise, Green just provides better D and more flexability. If this was anyone other than Piazza you'd do this deal. |
