Buzz: Two Schools of Thought for Team Omar

by Matthew Cerrone on December 3rd, 2007 at 12:31 pm

i’m sensing two schools of thought coming from Team Omar in Nashville…the first, trade any player short of David Wright and Jose Reyes to get O’s RHP Erik Bedard or A’s RHP Dan Harenor, instead, split up their prospects, add a major leaguer or two, and try to acquire two mid-level pitchers, like A’s RHP Joe Blanton as well as Reds RHP Bronson Arroyo, who will earn $25 million over the next three seasons

frankly, i’m not sure the Mets have the horses to get two of anything, but i do like the idea of splitting aces and trying to add two mid-range starting pitchers, along side John Maine and Oliver Perezthat could be a nice, young group, under contract, for the next few years

personally, i still believe the Mets will have to eventually settle for overpaying to get just one guy like arroyo or blanton, let alone acquire both
