Collins is out... who's starting the offseason thread? Or should this be it?

I've watched less than 5 games of baseball for this past regular season, yet I've been getting back into it with last nights Dodger's game. With that said, what do you guys think we need in the winter? Should/Will the Mets make a run for Josh Donaldson?

I’m not one of those three dudes, but what we need is simple.

We need new, competent leadership. The rest will fall into place.

I stopped watching after we traded the vets, so I'm not sure if anyone from the minors did well....but I do know that we need a much better trainer. Injuries we're ridiculous this year smh.

As for Donaldson, I doubt the Wilpons will spend a lot. Does anyone know if we're still hurting from Madoff?

I've heard the Wilpons are looking to cut opening day payroll by 30 as compared to last year, so I doubt we will see any big splashes.

Our minor league system is way too weak to consider making that type of trade imo and the big leaguers would've be mentioned would be too big of a hit even w/ getting him in return since half of the rotation is real :patrice:

We should go after that Japanese pitcher that's been buzzing :birdman:. Don't think we will :francis:
As far as shoring up the outfield and infield, I have no clue who's gonna be a free agent so I can't really say who we should go after. If the Wilpons keep fukking around, we're doomed. Best way to improve the team right now is through free agency.

Definitely need fresh blood in terms of training and all that. Need a much more competent manager that isn't fukking retarded when it comes to developing and playing the youngin's.

Nothing will change about this team until the Wilponzis sell the team. The problems of the current team start and in my opinion, end with them. I'm tired of having one or two seasons of success, followed by outright mediocre or terrible seasons that last several years before the cycle repeats itself again.
