weres ike,why is evans there?

 

[Fernando Martinez]

Veloz should be there, I don't think Mejia should. Also, Davis should be at 8 or 9.

I can't understand why Mike Carp keeps getting dissed.

He's age appropriate, shows power (17HR .874OPS in 2008), is a lefty hitter, etc.

He also shows incredible dicipline at virtually a 1:1 K/BB ratio.

I just never understand why they treat Carp this way.....

EDIT: TOTALLY MY BAD....FORGOT HE WAS DEALT. GOOD FOR MIKE!!!

Yeppers.

I dont think he was ever going to get a shot with the Mets. Especially this year, with all the injuries, and they didnt even give him a look.

Looks as though it was very close for the #1 spot. Just found this.


Moderator: Thanks for joining me. I’ll be here at 2 p.m. ET. Before we get started, let me first say that it was a very spirited debate, which went down to the wire, about whether Fernando Martinez or Wilmer Flores deserves the No. 1 spot. There was no uniform answer even within the higher-ups in the organization I quizzed in preparing to do the rankings. In the end, the consensus was Fernando Martinez. While it’s not overly likely he breaks camp with the Mets this year, if Fernando Tatis and Daniel Murphy can’t duplicate last year’s performances, or if there’s an outfield injury, Martinez could be the first call up from Triple-A Buffalo next season. Flores looks like he’ll eventually move to another position besides shortstop. So perhaps he and Martinez will one day flank Carlos Beltran at the Mets’ new home, Citi Field.

So Martinez chromes came out at what, $65? Flores is at $20, even though it is a redemption and he hasn't signed for anyone else imo it is one of, if not the best, deal out there. Medium risk/extremly high reward.

Ike Davis is vastly over rated in the world of sports cards
