Matthew Edward Harvey - The Real Deal or Damaged Goods?

I remember as a young lawyer staying out late very late on a Friday night/wee hours of Saturday morning, and then getting a call from a partner asking me to come into the office on Saturday afternnoon and work on a brief that was going to be due on Tuesday.    To say I was hung over when I took that call is an understatement — more accurately, I was still tipsy, having only slept a few hours.    But I took a shower, dragged my butt down to the office, and worked late into the night and pretty much round the clock until my brief got filed on Tuesday.    That’s the only time I ever had a night of partying affect my work — but of course, I had no idea I’d be working that Saturday.

I also walked three miles in a blinding snowstorm to go to school on a regular basis when I was a kid.   (OK, I never actually did that.)

I didn't say I never drank then went to work.  I've certainly done PT while hung over/still drunk.  I also remember flag duty one weekend in Germany where I wasn't sober.

But I went to work.

I remember that day I caught up to you on Seven Mile Lane. You had a pretty good stride in the snow.

No  Interest ...well okay for a bag of rocks and his old team paying 80 percent to f his contract

Uphill back and forth from school, Park Heights Avenue was always uphill.

I told my friend the lifelong Mets fan that some O's fans were hoping for a Harvey trade. He said we could have him for a pickle. I told him the Mets would have to take Trumbo along with the pickle. He was fine with that.

Rangers talking to the Mets about a Profar for Harvey trade.  Two years ago, that would have been huge!

Still is, I hear. But back then you could catch your breath at the bus stop.

Is Profar still highly regarded? If that type of player is what it takes then you take a hard pass. Unless Profars stock has absolutely plummeted then this should be flat out refused and hopefully Duquette spends his time elsewhere.

He's a good buy-low candidate. But I wouldn't trade anything of real value in 2018 for him. Maybe O'Day, just for the salary relief. But not Brach. Maybe Brach if the Mets agreed to take Trumbo off our hands.

If you think Harvey is going to be a -.9 pitcher, you don't give up anything at all for him.   In fact, you don't get him at all.    You get him with the idea that he's going to be a bona fide starting ML pitcher.   If there is a chance of that, you give up something to get him just like the Rangers are talking about Profar whose value is also down.   Darren O'Day is 35 years old and owed 2/18M over the next two years.   He appears to be in decline.   If you think Harvey is worthless than forget about getting him.   If you think he's worth something, then give up something for him.      

Yeah - I can't see giving up a reliable bullpen arm for a guy that most likely will be below replacement level. The Profar/Harvey trade makes sense because it's a swap of high-risk/high-reward guys.

Really good pitchers suddenly become permanently mediocre or terrible all of the time. Just off the top of my head: Lincecum, Cain, Liriano, Zimmerman. Even Ubaldo, for that matter. Can't really see Harvey putting it together again. He looks completely lost.

Man, old dudes love working.

How much work is really going on, if their posting on a message board in the middle of the workday?

Rut roh. Second report in less than 24 hours. Where there's smoke...

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Orioles are discussing trading a reliever to the Mets for Matt Harvey.

Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports first mentioned earlier Monday that the O's were seen as one club that could make a play for Harvey. Rosenthal mentions that Harvey and Brad Brach are projected for similar salaries in their final arbitration years and that Darren O'Day is owed $18 million over the next two seasons. There's been a decent amount of smoke the last few days about the Mets listening to offers for Harvey.
