He is --in essence-- a Tom Glavine-like bullpen burner. He'll never get 200 innings in the NL because he will be pinch hit for in 5th or 6th, which obviously never happened in the AL and this allowed to pitch more innings. He is nothing special and not worth major bucks. Better to pursue the trade route vs. going after Silva via FA.

Why bring Glavine back for 10-12 million this year when Silva could be signed to roughly a 3 yr $36-40 million deal??? Tom Glavine is DONE, and it is apparent that he used his family as an excuse to get the Mets to pay him more, otherwise he'd just retire now that he has his 300 wins. I've seen enough of Tom Glavine to last me a lifetime, ditch the bum. Carlos Silva is a free agent, he pitched 200 inning and had 13 wins and a 4.19 ERA, plus he’s only 28.

Apparently he's leared the lesson, so he's getting the information out there a lot earlier this time around.

That last game was the worst performance I have ever seen from a veteran pitcher in a huge game. He failed now he can go to atlanta and get lost.....

He is almost washed up and only really good for 5 or 6 innigs. He either gives up 3 rune or 7 runs, so if the bats can keep up with him, he's fine otherwise its another LOSS. I also dont like being played like this. He has a 13million option take it and play for the Mets or turn it down, ala, A-Rod, and walk away. Its that simple. If he dont want to play for the Mets first then DUMP HIM!!!!!! I dont mind Tommy as a 4 or 5 guy, but, NOT as an ace. He is almost washed up and only really good for 5 or 6 innigs.
