They both suffer from melt-downs and control issues, but between the two Ollie seems more like the loose cannon and maine seems more in control. Plus, when Ollie does melt down its usually much worse. Maine will give up a home run or two and get pulled early, but Ollie will hit two batters and give up 2 or 3 home runs and walk in the rest…

I agree its a business, but its Boras we are talking about…he is the slimiest agent out there and poor Ollie will end up on a crappy team that wants to overpay for mid level talent and his ERA will go up and he’ll wish he stayed with the mets, even for less money.

1 – Santana
2 – Maine
3 – Perez
4 – Martinez
5 – Hernandez or Pelfrey

The problem is we still lost a big piece to puzzle. Hopefully he will return in good shape, but I sure didn’t like the way he pitched the other day. He looked very old, out of shape, and his arm slot looked much lower to me. Maybe I was just being too overly critical.

I sure miss Bannister, and will never understand that move. I listen to a bunch of people who are critical of Omar for many of his signings and moves, but that one is the one that got me. I just never understood back then, and it looks worse as time goes by. No sense bitching about it though. We have to deal with what we have. In other words “Go get em Fig”.
