I guess we would need to trade for someone like Nady then, which I hope they do.

A package the Twins could receive will probably not include both of the Mets’ top outfield prospects, Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez. There are indications that Martinez would be in the deal, along with major league outfielder Ryan Church and at least two other prospects. Starter Mike Pelfrey could be part of the deal as well. . . . Thursday’s Boston Herald:

Not sure who the twins have but we could use one I think and they don't need one right now...

Even the most critical posters know this. We want Johan to put us back where we felt we were less than two years ago -- remember being 16 games in first place? That was fun. Phils and Braves want to improve to catch up? That they did last year. Now it's out turn to jump back ahead. That's what this is about. Being GREAT again. We all know the Mets will be good.
