That last number, is going to be the problem. He is running out of time.
If he gets called up later this year, then he has to stay up and be on next year's starting roster now. Even doing that, he would only have 2 more years or so before he passed his prime.
I don't see it happening for him but I wish I could go give it a try myself. He still is playing and has a chance. More power to you young man!

I'd watch the Mets if he gets called up. So would half the baseball world. I hope he gets the call. Tebow, Bautista, Cespedes, Bruce, Reyes, DeGrom, Syndeergard, yeah I'd watch that team.

So you like watching guys way past their prime playing out the end of their careers? Degrom and/or Syndergaard is/are gonna be playing elsewhere in a few weeks too.
Also, whoever mentioned a guy's prime going to 33, that ain't really the case. In the post-roids era, most guys are slowing down noticeably once the cross into their 30s, even many of the best players. Sure there's always some that maintain close to their prime into their mid-30s, but they are few and far between. And most of those guys didn't spend 10 or so years of their life getting the shit beat out of their body playing QB from HS to the nfl like they were a fullback.

I certainly prefer watching Bautista, Cespedes and Tebow over whoever the 17 the Marlins are trotting out. Apparently all of Miami agrees with me.

I'd rather watch a beer league softball game than the marlins, but that doesn't mean I'd watch the Mets. There's still 28 other teams out there to pick from if I wanna watch a baseball game.
