OK, while i bathe in the LA sun and try to type using the smallest keyboard in the history of mankind...here is the Mets side.....
we'll start with the best outfielder in NY...
Carlos Beltran - after putting up great numbers in 06... 41 hr 116 RBI less than100 k and 95BB
and then in a down yr in 07 33 hr112 RBI...
ever since he has been in NY he has been expected to be 50 hr 130 RBI 40 Sb and 315 avg...i believe that is why he gets a bad rap around MLB...he is still one of the best cf in baseball..he is 30 yrs old...right in his prime.....and defensively is vastly underrated...myself included...people don't understand how many balls this guy gets...
he just got his knees scoped hopefully this will put away any pain he had in the past and he can put up 30+ sb this yr...
one interesting note...
Last yr when batting 4Th in 44 games his stats were: 310 avg 13hr 45RBI 8Sb 619 SLG and 1.006 OPS
So since willie put him in the 4 slot he turned it around...so with a full yr at the 4 spot his numbers should look allot better than they did last yr...

The New York Yankee situation in Center field is none to brag about. Although Melky every now and then opens some eyes with his arm in the outfield and he does come up with some clutch defensive plays, but his routes to fly balls are very shaky more times than not.
Cabrera's numbers are nowhere near where a center fielders numbers should be. I have been hearing that he is being compared to a young Bernie, all I have to say is IN YOUR DREAMS. The best year I foresee for Melky is a 315 avg 24 Hr with 85 RBI's and I'm being Generous. I think the only purpose of Melky is to be a decent stopgap until A-JAX.
The Mets win this one hands down.
OUTCOME
-------------
First Base -Mets
Second Base- Yankees
Short Stop- Reluctantly Yankees but very skeptical ( Jeter will probably have the better year but Reyes has the potential to be GREAT. )
Third Base- Yankees without question
Catcher- Yankees (Yanks win this in a laugher)
Center Field- Mets (In a landslide)

i have to agree with pecker beltran is the best outfielder in NY and wins tis battle out right. However i have to just say that we are allowed to say that he sucks because well let me take you mets fans back 2 years.................... "And the batter is now Carlos Beltran" (Voice of Joe Buck) ...2 min later.... "And the 0-2 from Wainwright he strikes him out!!!!!!" ....(Tim Mcarver) "I dont understand Carlos Beltran YOU MUST SWING THE BAT WHEN EVERYTHING IS ON THE LINE!!!! "I agree Tim this is unexcusable for Carlos Beltran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Sam i will tell you how i fell about Melky a little later after we all enjoy this post.
WOW!!!!
That was classic
Now Sam for Melky i must disagree with you 100% ye i wanna see how Ajax is gonna be but i mean how can u say that about Melky- and you are wrong the people that say that he has the potential to be like bernie are dead on. I mean the guy is going to be 23 and hes alread y putting up numbers that benie put up in his first 2 yeasrs when he was 24,25 his numbers were 12,68,268 and 12,57,289
And Melky has more speed and a better arm then Bernie. Now the point of this convo is not to put down bernie i mean the guy is one of my greatest all time. But to say that melky isnt good well then that is so far off. The guy is only 22 for gods sakes give him a chance before throwing him under the bus like that. Im sure we can find another suitable OF position for Austin (RF,LF both ave older players) but if melky can double his homers in 2-4 years then hes going to have a heck of a career.
Max a. Your crazy.
You can mark my words, Melky will be washing cars in 5 years
melky is definitely the 2nd best DEFENSIVE outfielder in NY...
it will be fun to see how he turns out offensively..
ive been listening so sam and max n for a while now saying that he wont be anything...
but lets wait and see..
personally i havent seen enough of him to comment on him offensively...but he dows have a good arm
