Chavez to play 1st base, sorry people I forgot to add that.

I have a trade for people to like or bash. Just curious about what people have to say. Trade Delgado, Milledge, Heilman, Pelfrey, Mike Carp, Cory Coles, and Anderson Hernandez to the A’s for Chavez, Blanton and Haren.

Chavez still has 3 years and about 33 million coming to him so moving Delgado actually sounds reasonable to them. You could always give another lower tier pitching prospect such as Mike Devaney to sweeten the deal.

Mets rotation would be: Perez, Maine, Haren, Blanton and Martinez. Sounds good to me. Comments please.

Ummm…..why has Metsblog ignored the far more interesting/explosive Marty Noble story about Wags and his complaints about Willie and the offseason??????????

Those packages couldn’t get Russ Ortiz. The Mets need to wake up: They need to overpay in prospects to get him and they need to be willing to give a 6-7 year deal to a 29 year old pitcher.

Why do people continue to mention Gotay as some kind of enticement in a trade. Throwing extra bodies of no consequence is not an answer to not adding a third or fourth real prospect.

Get ready for the rhetoric of Pedro being the ace the Mets didn’t have next year and some dead arm bum filling the 5th spot, and a totally burned out bullpen by july. Just the way it is for us Met fans.

here are the plans:

1) go to the gm meetings with knee pads
2) put them on and get down on knees

Looking at everything, I honestly feel that unless there is an absolute no brainer trade, I’d rather keep our prospects, let them earn their stripes in our system and use our big three draft picks to draft heavy this coming draft. It’s supposed to have great prospects.

If there are free agents worth signing next year, then great, if not, then so what. We do already have a good team, we already are a contender, and I really don’t want them to trade heavy just for the sake of trading heavy.

Honestly, I’d rather trade for Willis, sign Livan Hernandez and go at next season with all our under rated prospects, minus those necessary to obtain Willis.

Two innings eaters such as Livan and Willis would certainly lighten the load on the bullpen. Thus correcting much of the problem from last year. Also, it moves El Duque into the bullpen, and Pelfrey can be up and down, or full time in the pen. Thus having a five man rotation, with two much better back up plans in El Duque and Pelfrey, than we did last year.

Also, keeping Milledge makes more sense than throwing what we do have away.
