Glaus is probably better than Rolen at this point. I don't know if this is the end of Rolen's career because he is 32, not 42. Kinda funny how the Blue Jays get Eck & Rolen for 2008. In OTHERR news, any Giant fans? I'm so excited for tomorrow. Uninspiring trade. Glaus is probably better than Rolen at this point.

Figure that one out.

Saying anyone could have driven in 115 is ridiculous. I'm sure you were cheering for him after he hit that 3 run HR in game 2 against the cardinals First of all floridas paying alot of the contract.

Glaus is certainly a much better option for the Mets (and he's played 1B in spring training as well as the minors) than Rolen; however, that trade doesn't do much for the Blue Jays who already have Overbay at 1B and Thomas at DH. Also, Delgado should rebound next year (again, if he is rested on a regular schedule and sits against tough lefties), being that he posted an .844 OPS after the ASB and a .818 OPS overall against RHP. He's not the player he used to be, but he certainly isn't what he was last year. Ahh okay, I got the feeling that you wanted to swap Delgado for Glaus from your post.

If the Mets don't pull the trigger, and it gets out it was because they wanted to keep a prospect or there was a contract issue, I can't speak for everyone else, but I will be one seriously PISSED Mets fan. I don't want to hear about Church or Schneider or Wise or any other crap the Mets scraped from the bottom of the barrel, the time is now Mets, get this thing done so you can produce some juice for the upcoming season. I'm tired of looking at Hank Steinbrenner's ugly mug everytime there's a baseball story on the back pages of the tabloids. We’re starting to get to the point of no return here with Santana.

But if we're stuck with him- he has played SS and 3B- and hit .361 vs LHP last year. Platoon him at 1B and make him backup infielder on off-days?
