Mets continued to slide in the standings, but not at the rate you might anticipate.
We sit a game above .500 heading into July.
Starting to make some moves, clipping dead weight and freeing up a little cash.
1B Ed Bouchee requested a trade. Shop him around with nary a sniff, so he was placed on waivers with the intent to DFA.
Traded disgruntled 3B 31-year old Don Zimmer to the White Sox in exchange for 23 year-old minor league LHP Frank Kreutzer.
Frank Thomas and Gil Hodges are 1-2 in the NL in both HRs & RBIs.
Bob Miller leads the staff with 10 wins. Al Jackson boasting an 8-1 mark,
Have to be honest, I never anticipated in my wildest dreams Mets would be anywhere near .500 this deep into the season. I fully anticipated us to be the front runners for the No. 1 in draft but it's gonna take a significant collapse to land that pick.
And, I love it!!
We have reached July unconventionally, rolling without a pitching coach but I just offered 40-year old Zach Richards a three-year deal and await his response.
