Know hes young BUT he was over-match most of the time in AA against guys who will be working for a living in a couple of yrs.We're talkin' 2010-best case for this kid to even make the team. Omars drafts compared to those of about half of MLBsince hes returned speak for themselves! I saw binghampton over a dozen times this yr./they were bad! AAA had a team full of has-beens or never weres! Meatime he just spends and spends on guys who simply cant be counted on i.e. Duque,Alou,Castillo,Mota,Valentin, Franco,etc.etc.etc. Hmm,wonder what they have in common?? Yeah, to bad Omar cant get credit for Reyes or Wright since

Don't complain in a couple of years when the rotation is full of Livans and other retreads and geezers just passing through.

Sorry the Mets don't have the treasure trove of coveted prospects that the Tigers, Angels, D Back, SOx and Dodgers seem to, but neither do the other 25 teams! You work with what you got. Most teams make minor moves to address weaknesses where they can, and make do with players fromt he system to plug holes. LIke the ROckies, and it worked out OK for them.

On the other hand -- the way the 2007 season ended, Mets fans -- at least the ones on the blogs -- were already primed to want to see a big acquisition, even before Omar started talking. I have a feeling that the 2007 ending is going to leave Mets fans pretty hositle until and unless the Mets get to a World Series. Not sure there's much Omar can do about that, expect make the deals that he thinks actually help us.
