Does anybody read Marty Noble’s column???

Why is Noble so in love with Tom Glavine?? That guy needs to be fired off that mailbag too, how many stupid questions does this guy answer??

I’d rather have my GRANDMOTHER start for a year than Tom Glavine.

“The New York Yankees committed an awful lot of money to me and put it in my hands, gave me a player option and trusted me with that option,” Pettitte said. “It probably wouldn’t be real honorable for me not to do anything other than shut it down or go back and play for the New York Yankees.”

This is what I would expect from Tommy. He is playing the Mets fans like second rate fans. He does not really want to play here, but, if the Braves dont make an offer , he will. I SAY BS!!! be like Andy Pettite and play for the home team or go away. We played this crap game last season and I dont want to see it played again. Stay or go, but decide and live with it!!! I SAY SO LONG !!!!

I agree that we need to stop dishing the same dirt about Glavine and A-Rod. Let’s talk about the ultra-pressing need to sign somebody with some spark…

Rowan, Freil…?
Do we need to start a ‘Bring Back Wigginton’ campaign?

Can anybody remember a catcher getting run-over during the 07 season? Did anybody on the staff ever buzz somebody with a prupose pitch?

I can’t remember either… then again I’m trying to forget most of the season.

Seriously.

A-Rod
Glavine
Willie
Posada?

Suddenly this could be a team that is really hard to roots for. We might as well sign bonds and have the most hated team on Earth.

You make a very good point about Omar’s tactics. Lets hope that you are right. As for your questions:
1. I think that we definately see a new catcher.
2. I really think that Delgado is going to have a monster walk year with a healthy wrist. And I think that if the team just states now, and sticks with the decision, that Milledge is really going to be an impact player. Plug him in right field and LIVE WITH IT. He will be an above average player, not a super star, if they just leave him out there and let the older players police him in the clubhouse.

The unlikely guy is probably a C or a decent RP that Omar will find a way to trade a prospect and Schoe or Mota for. Just my guess.

Hopefully the difference this offseason will be that Omar treats Glavine like a 5th starter instead of an ace. If it turns out that Tommy wants back, then Pelfrey goes to AAA for another year. Omar CANNOT let Glavine tie his hands when it comes to bringing in a true frontline starter.

The way I see next years rotation you either have.

top new guy (Blanton, Livan, etc); Maine; Perez; Pedro; Pelfrey/Duque
- or –
top new guy (Blanton, Livan, etc); Maine; Perez; Glavine; Pedro/Duque

but it cant be: Glavine/Duque; Maine; Perez; Pedro; Pelfrey

that would leave them right where they were last April basically.
