Memo to Sandy

2012 NY Mets Season over. In case you were in a deep slumber, they sucked. 74-88 record. Only saving grace was that the Miami Marlins sucked even worse.

1. Resign David Wright. Nothing to discuss.
2. Get some real outfielders. The team looked like a 4th (or 5th) outfielder convention this season.
3. Get a closer that can close. Frank F. is not it. Does anyone remember Armando Benitez.
4. Make some trades: Murphy, Valdespin, Bay (if humanly possible). Gotta go.
5. Stop the whole we are waiting to spend in the future crap. Oakland A's. $49MM. In the playoffs.
6. Take a good look at Wheeler this spring. At least our pitching staff looks OK.
7. RA Dickey. Brightspot. Lock him up for another 3-4. He throws a knuckleball. That will last for another few.
8. Get a catcher. One that can hit. Josh Thole is a nice kid. Perfect back-up. Need a real catcher. Mike Napoli will look good in a Mets uniform.
9. Can we stop accepting mediocrity.
10. Short leash on Terry Collins. Team's failure after the All-Star Break is his failure. Don't care what anyone says. He has to motivate and get best out of team.

Out.
