Woody Johnson built the Jets based on Madden ratings, it’s foolproof!

“We need to improve at center field, it CANNOT be an offensive hole again…how about the split-vulnerable guy who’s hit .220 and averaged 105 games for the past two years? He’s toolsy!”

Totally agree. Based on Ewing’s scouting reports, MiLB fielding splits, and rapid rise through the system, it seems like they’re leaving runway open for both him and Benge to land in MLB relatively soon

You know I like the idea of Michael King in a Mets uniform (on the right deal); if they look to the Japanese market, I think they're obligated to go all in on Imai, but part of me thinks that's semi-contingent on what happens with Senga.

(Kinda wish Hiroto Saiki got posted, too...)

I feel ya! He feels like a less-powerful Bader type (Bader also more platoon-immune iirc). I imagine it would be a Meyers/TT unit with Benge in LF, but granted any similar move does only so much for us offensively.

Either way, a trade upgrade in CF def feels more likely than heavy FA spending imo

100%. It’s a defensive upgrade at a position of need and a near-lateral offensive move in the middle of the lineup (peep their numbers side-by-side since Semien’s extension in ‘22).

There are so many directions they can go from here…that said, an LF upgrade now *must* be part of any path forward

The slash implied ‘and’, as in reading both my mind *and* my texts to friends and peers lol. All good, we’re on the same team 🤝

I was agreeing with you as your points were verbatim what my reactions have been offline. Not sure why the attitude was necessary 🤷‍♂️

Sentimental factor: sad!
Practical factor: needed to happen and opens up many many avenues

When did I give you permission to read my mind/texts to friends and peers

Big roster decisions I emphatically agree with? Where'd I put my "things I'm thankful for" list...
