Re: Give Jacobs the 1B job for 2006

<<Diaz, Jacobs, Hernandez, Keppinger -- this is your idea of a future
dynasty? The Mets will be lucky if just one of those players turns
out to be as half as good as Carlos Delgado is right now. >>

Your not right in your accessment of the kids, and Diaz was no flop.

Yes, there is a future dynasty with Diaz, Jacobs, Hernandez, Keppinger,
Petit, Banister, Seo, Heilman, Milledge, Reyes and Wright.

It just sucks that Kazmir and Huber (not to mention Peterson) is not in
this mix as well.

And they're already in the second or third year of this rebuilding.
You do not want to upset the apple cart on this. There is a big
question as to what the needs of the team will be by the end of the
2006 season. It will likely not be what people think now are the
issues. If nothing improves on 2nd or catching, that will be the
places the team can focus. But this picture won't be clear until about
August. They'll have a much better idea in August.

Meanwhile, the best thing this team can do in the off season is
addition by subtraction. They need to get useful parts for Cameron,
Glavine and Traschel, if possible.
