The word just came down from the Front Office about a half-hour ago... Schoeneweis is no longer a New York Met. Instead of the man who basically blew any chance the Mets had on the last game of the season, the Mets get Connor Robertson from the D-backs. Who is Connor Robertson? Well I don't know either. From the press release, he has more minor league experience than major league experience. That isn't bad is it? I mean, we can use that same argument with David Wright. Anyway, Robinson last year had an 0-1 record and 5.14 ERA in six appearances. However, he had a 7-4 record and 5.02 ERA in 47 games with the D-backs Triple-A Tucson affiliate.
Honestly though, I would have been happy if the Mets replaced Schoenewis with anyone. One thing that I want to make note of was what I found on another release related to the Heilman trade. Marly Noble mentioned Heilman and Schoeneweis in his "Pantheon of Vilified Mets (PVM)". This list includes Doug Sisk, founder and chairman of the board; Guillermo Mota president; high-profile members Heilman, Doug Simon, Luis Castillo, Kaz Matsui, Scott Schoeneweis, Pedro Feliciano and almost anyone who pitched in relief last season.
For the fun of it, in the comments section list any other past and present Met that you think belong on this list. Also, let the world know your feelings about this and the just recent Heilman-J.J. trade (No foul language, please!).
Additions
i say you can add mo vaughn to that list...he was sort of a flop. and what about joe mcewing, victor zambrano, or shawn green? especialy zambrano considering we traded kazmir to get him.
Bobby Bo
Bobby Bonilla must be on that list!
Oh come on, Matsui was never
Oh come on, Matsui was never as bad as, say, Juan Samuel or Roberto Alomar. At least Matsui had a handful of good games and a bunch of leadoff HRs. Joe McEwing I would never put on that list. I think he was one of the more beloved Mets in his 2-3 better years here, plus he was versatile and cheap. How soon we forget Armando Benitez. Late Gary Carter when he did nothing but strike out at balls around his ankles. George Foster. Vince "Clorox" Coleman. I could go on.
From Google, lol:
Official Website of Roberto Alomar | HomeDec 3, 2008 ... The Official Website of Roberto Alomar, one of the greatest second basemen ever to play the game of baseball.
I'd like to add a few more.
I'd like to add a few more. Shawn Estes...one pitch at the ribs. Kenny Rogers...one pitch in the strike zone. Greg Jeffries....for kicking Backman, Myers, and eventually himself out of town.
