Now that we’ve added “entering in the 7th with an 8-run lead” to the list of “situations in which it is not safe to bring Danny Graves into the game,” I think it’s high time the Mets sent him packing.
The Mets are now in the unfortunate position of having to do continued triage on their roster, while still hanging on the edge of the wild card race (the division race is probably over and in Atlanta’s hands again), and while it is too late in the season to do too much about it. They’ve got too many starters, no first or second baseman, injury-created lack of depth in the outfield and at catcher, and a bullpen that’s getting grants from FEMA.
