Mets Police Morning Laziness: Wilmer Flores in the outfield

DID THE METS GET ANY NEW PLAYERS?  no.  But the Mets are talking about WILMER FLORES IN THE OUTFIELD…..hold on I need a Halpert here…

….WILMER FLORES IN THE OUTFIELD.   So what makes anyone think WILMER FLORES IN THE OUTFIELD would ever be a good idea?   Well cheap people who have a team with only 4 healthy outfielders.

That being said, if you think WILMER FLORES IN THE OUTFIELD is a good idea, then let us learn from the mistakes of every spring from Mike Piazza to Jay Bruce and actually USE THE PRACTICE GAMES THAT DON’T COUNT TO LET WILMER FLORES PRACTICE PLAYING OUT OF POSITION.    They won’t.  They will wait until some day game after a night game when Yo doesn’t feel like playing and send Wilmer out there with 4 innings of ST under his belt.   You know I am right.

Oh they also want Jose Reyes in the OF because no matter what he will just not go away.  Well unless Jeter offers him a contact, in which case he’ll be gone by 12:01.  Come on Jeets.

SLACKISH REACTION:  The Athletic needs to calm down.  It’s like a GD Cult over there.  Once an hour someone is posting “Here’s why I am joining the Athletic…”  Yeah yeah I know journalism and crap.  And I have to assume a nice salary with some sort of contractual stability.  So spare me the Journalism part because you would work at the bastard child of Barstool meets Deadspin meets TMZ if someone opened their wallet.  Then you could write nonsense like this….

….Let’s check out the Socks Game of various Mets.  I’n not sure the Socked Knight is the worst.

We can also check in on Matt’s svelteness.

CONSPIRACY:  the media wants you to believe that David Wright reported to camp yesterday…..and yet there is not one photo.   Hmmmm.

If you’re in Florida you can attend Open Workouts starting today.  Details.

Can I do a self-not-linking?  Mickey Callaway says the Mets can win!

Be careful Mets fans.  Be careful.  BE CAREFUL.

NOT LINKING:  14 “me too” articles about the Mets needing a leadoff hitter.  Where are all the annoying “batting order doesn’t matter” people when I need them

Google is using a fake Mets logo this morning.  I haven’t had my coffee yet but at some point someone mocked up a “modern” Mets logo with the High Line in it and….

Obligatory mention of Valentine….

I imagine the @mets twitter account framed this on purpose for me.  Heh heh subtle but I see you.
