Read: Noble’s Mailbag

by Matthew Cerrone on January 2nd, 2008 at 2:58 pm

In his recent mailbag for MLB.com, Marty Noble is asked, “Why not trade for Scott Kazmir,” to which he responds…

“Why would a team want to trade a proven ace of its staff?

“It’s not like Omar Minaya could just give the Rays a shout and say, ‘We’re ready to take Kazmir off your hands because you want to help us.’  I’m certain you’d be surprised how few clubs are in a hurry to help the Mets make a big trade.”

…i can’t help but laugh whenever marty gets all snarky on his readers

Noble also answers questions about the team’s schedule, using Aaron Heilman as a starter, Jerry Koosman and the Hall of Fame, and why he uses RBI per 1,000 at-bats as a way to compare offensive production.
