Morning Laziness: Mets and Walker hit contract snag, Cespedes rents cars, SUPER PROSPECT coming

Good morning.  Here in the post Rubin era, you need links.  So I’m being slightly less lazy than you.   Here on the Morning Laziness I do all the hard work of searching twitter for “Mets” saving you the trouble of doing that.  The benefit is you don’t have to read all the morning Me Too Blogs.

Today’s Morning Laziness:

  1.  Mets and Neil Walker contract talks hit a snag!   They might have been talking about a three year deal, which is weird, because I was told that post-Murphy that second basemen are free, and Dilson Herrera could just play there.  I guess second basemen do get contemporary major league salaries.  At age 31.  With back problems.  Walker has been good but the Mets are friggin’ insane if they sign him for three years right now.  Or you could have kept the guy who finished 2nd in MVP voting.
  2. The Mets have a prospect named Amed Rosario.  He is destined to be the better than Cal Ripken and A-Rod and Honus Wagner rolled into one.  Despite that previous sentence, I am UNDER-hyping him.  He’s even better than all that.  You can read multiple reports about how excited Jose Reyes is on OTHER BLOGS.  But you should hop on board now and be a MAJOR ROSARIO FAN.
  3. Expect Yoenis Cespedes to show up at camp in something other than a normal car, and expect people to tweet pictures of it.

That’s it.  I am going about my day.  You should too.
