Now the big question — should the Mets trade R.A. Dickey? There are two schools of thoughts on this. The first one is that he just won 20 games and will likely win the Cy Young Award. He is a knuckleballer who can pitch well into his 40s. Why would you trade him?
The other thinking is that R.A. Dickey is a soon-to-be 38-year-old pitcher who had something of a fluke season. He only started throwing the knuckleball a few years ago, which means he has considerably more mileage in his arm than a career knuckler. Trade him now while his value is high and fill several holes on the team.
What do you think?

There has been a lot of talk about the Mets trading Jonathon Niese. On one hand, it makes sense — it continues the trend of teams trading young, established pitchers to fill several holes (the A’s with Gio Gonzalez and the Padres with Mat Latos). And the Mets certainly have several holes to fill in their lineup.
On the other hand, why in the world would you trade a young, established pitcher, especially one already signed to a team-friendly contract? We’ve seen that pitching wins championships. Why trade the most valuable commodity in the game?
So what do you think. Should the Mets trade Jonathon Niese?

Most Mets fans really like Daniel Murphy because of his hitting and his work ethic, but is he really the long-term answer at second base? Do you think the Mets would be better off trading him to fill other gaping holes on the team?

It’s a simple question really: if you were a betting man (or woman, I suppose), how many games do you think the Mets will win in 2012?

If we polled Mets fans, I assume the vast majority of them would say that David Wright is their favorite Met. A poll with an obvious answer is no fun, but what if we left Wright out of the equation? So here’s my poll question: aside from Wright, who is your favorite Met? I chose the 10 who I felt was the most likely to get votes.

I wanted to get the wording of this poll correct. I don’t think many fans actually want the Mets to trade David Wright, so asking if you want the Mets to trade him would yield no useful information. So let’s put the question this way — would trading David Wright truly be the best thing for the team, whether you like Wright or not? Would it help the Mets rebuilding effort to get rid of Wright’s salary, or do you think he should be part of that effort?

In the post below I speculate whether the Mets should sell Packers-style shares to the public, so I ask, would you buy a $200 share of the Mets?
