You won't find an objective Mets fan that says otherwise. Reporters, scouts, and executives from around the league have echoed the same sentiment. Even Alderson has said that he is more focused on building for the long-term than he is for 2012.
It's the right decision. They've needed a rebuild for quite some time. 2012 will be the first year where I don't focus on win-loss record, but the development of their young players.
It's just that Reyes staying in the division would seriously suck. Hopefully the Brewers pony up a big deal and he goes there instead.
