Thread: If you were a free agent, would you...

It's true that the Mets are easy targets and there's a lot of piling-on among the members of the media (especially ESPN, and particularly those homers on Baseball Tonight). However, there is a reasonable rationale for this article by Davidoff: 'O'Day, in an interview Thursday, admitted to not being at his best in his brief Mets stint, saying: "I don't think I was ever entirely comfortable ...

Why does he hate the use of statistics so much?

As long as they don't teach him a new way to run again... Hopefully he should be fine.
