Well the Mets tried that approach in 1989 when they acquired Frank Viola. That deal produced 0 post season appearances for the Mets. Trade the farm for Santana?

I've been amets fan all my life, and this guy has one bad month, albeit at crunch time, and you trade him? he's got more talent and more potential than any player in the game and he may be one of the most unique players to ever play the game. He's 24. He stole more bases than anyone in ten years. He hit 320 throgh most of the season. He has pop, he's an incredible fielder, and he's 24! He's only 24. In 5 years he'll be in his prime. He's incredible. This stretch wa bad for lots of mets, Hopefuly reyes learns a lesson, with help from the vets and the management and he becomes even better asa result. If the mets trade jose reyes for anything they have lost any faith I still have in them. ALong with Wright and beltran this guy is the new york mets right now, and without him we will spend the rest of our lives watching him prosper on soe other team and do incredible things.

I am curious what fellow Met fans have to say, here is my original post: While he is no Santana, I think the Mets should look into a trade for the SF Giants LHP Noah Lowry. With the Giants looking to add young, position players they would probably be willing to deal Lowry (since their strength is their rotation of Zito, Cain, Sanchez, Lincecum) for two major league ready position players. I would strongly consider a package of Milledge and Ruben Gotay (to replace Ray Durham) for Lowry. Lowry is 28, under contract for a few more years, and would join Pedro, Maine, Perez, and potentially Pelfrey in a rotation. That would mean 4/5 of the rotation would be under 30 and Lowry would not cost you as much as Santana would in terms of players and money. It seems like a good fit. Of course I also believe the Mets NEED to back up a young rotation like this with a pitcher who can provide a Darren Oliver-2006 type season as a long man. Perhaps that guy is El Duque. It’s an intriguing thought. I know Lowry isn’t the sexy name that Santana or Willis is - and I do think that the Mets should look into what it would take to acquire them, but Lowry is intriguing. Of course, he could be Shawn Estes Part Deux. Once again I think my trade proposal for the Mets is at least REALISTIC as oppose to these many, many ridiculous blockbuster trades I am hearing.

They'd be trading a starter for a better starter. Sure, they'd still have to find a 5th starter, but their top 4 would be instantly better. true, but again, it’s not like they’re trading a starter for a position player.

There is absolutely no way the twins would give up Mauer. He is their David Wright. Plus, he's actually from Minnesota. Johan asked out, so they'll consider trading him, but Mauer is staying put for a long time. ok, Im as much of a Santana homer as they come, but that’s just ridiculous.
