Do I think we should have gotten more for him? Yes. Do I believe he will ever live up to the hype of some of the posters here as the next Gary Sheffield? Hell no. Some people swear we traded away the next Willie Mays...only time we may regret it is when he burns us during the games, but I don't think his career is going to be anything special.

Theres no room to carry him. Chavez and Anderson have the bench outfield spots. Easley and Gotay have the infield ones. Castro backup catcher. 5 backup positional players if you go with a 12 man pitching staff. Church wont be sent down because the fans really will form a lynch mob if they sent down a guy that they just got in a trade for Milledge. Unless they get rid of Chavez or Easley, Gomez will be in AAA. Based on how the roster is setup right now, Church will be in right and Gomez will be down in AAA. Theres no room to carry him.

I’m going to agree with stick’s first comment…career years? how can you call this a career year for Maine when he is 26 yrs old and this was really his first full season in the major leagues. man i guess you don’t really have much confidence in the 10-15 years he has left in his career to call this his career year. this statement is open for some criticism, but i’m gonna go ahead and say that john maine has ace stuff and could very well be the ace of this staff one day. but that is just my opinion. Same thing really goes for OP…same age, and he really only had one other full season in the bigs. that ‘04 season with the pirates when he was lights out. 240 k’s and a sub-3 ERA. yur gonna call ‘07 his career year? See that’s the problem with the Mets organization, and more-so the fans (and this is coming from a die hard met fan) is that you’re so quick to judge players and write them off without giving them time. the alex rodriguezes and the johan santanas are few and far bewteen. you can’t draft a 22 yr old on June 6th and expect him to be a stud major leaguer on June 7th. Lastings Milledge is 22 yrs old and never got more than 180 at bats in the majors, when most kids his age are playing college baseball for crying out loud, and everyone gave up and said he’s crap. it just boggles my mind. and if you even extrapolate his numbers to a full season, it’s actually a really good year for a 22 yr old. although we got a solid defensive catcher and a good right fielder for him, i think we’re really going to regret that trade one day. maybe even next year. ok just doing some venting, sorry would love responses… ok i’m gonna cut and paste a comment i just made on Delcos’ blog entry, cause it really irritaed me…

I think you commit to him to SOME extent. Heck, look at Charlie Manuel after their sluggish start. Some might say the Phils won in spite of him, but they did win. That said, I wouldn't wait all year. Mid-season is a happy medium. I’d like to, but remember, the Mets last year after 40 games looked nothing like the team that finished the season. I think you commit to him to SOME extent.
