He's able to get anyone out at any time it seems, its just like he almost takes hitters off, or i don't even know what, he can't let any hitters off the hook with these walks. He does that, he'll go deeper into games. He's still young though, he's still figuring out how to "pitch". you’re totally correct, he cuts down the walks, he’s a very good pitcher, for now, he’s just pretty good.

He would log jam 1st base or the OF, which does 1 of 2 things....prohibits a Texeira signing or keeps FMart in the minors. However, FMart is currently striking out 25% of the time and 5 times more than he walks up in Binghampton. That's not a major league -ready hitter. He's got to turn that around if his near prediction to play at Shea this year materializes. i would really like to have Nady this year as a strong righthanded bat….but not sure he fits into future plans.

Last year: Nady .806 ops, Delago .781 ops Besides, we're not talking about last year's Delgado, we're talking about this year's Delgado, further along in his decline. We'd all be happy at this point with Delgado's '07 numbers, but that isn't likely to happen. Fair enough, but this is misleading, as Nady had many fewer abs.

Probably even moreso than Delgado. Nady is really streaky too. Probably even moreso than Delgado.

So what Olney is talking about is adding a mediocre scrub type to share time with Delgado, just for this year? Might as well just use Anderson or Easley, or call up one of the AA guys and save some effort. Nady seems to have risen to ythical proportions, and sure he is having a good start, but can you count on him to keep it up? And will he be on the team (no idea of his contract status) for a few more years? Well, the Mets already have a s/t solution at 1B, and that is Delgado.

Delgado is clearly not the answer after this year and I seriously doubt Texiera is coming here so the mets must look towards retaining him after this year. Enter Scott Boras. There is no way he will have Nady signing an extension before the trade or during the remainder of the season thus he will be a free agent at years end. To make a move to rent a player at this point in time is foolish as we do not know what this team is. If in July Delgado is not hitting and Alou is not on the horizon AND we are in the hunt maybe it is worth it. But right now there is no need to be hurling prospects from a depleted farm system until we know what this team is The thing with Nady is if the mets go out an make this move it must be with an eye to the future.

Let's wait until a little closer to the deadline, when the Pirates find themselves mired in last place and a little more willing to deal. Plus, then we can see where we are with Delgado and Alou (my guess is we'll be in more or less the same boat), plus we might know a little more about our own minor league guys to know who we absolutely don't want to deal and whatnot. Who knows, maybe FMart catches fire and gets promoted and rakes up here and solves all our problems (he's the same age as Reyes was in 2003 and Doc was in '84, so anything's possible) I like Nady, and the fact that he can play outfield and first is nice, but I wouldn’t give up any more than 2 AA-type prospects (obv. not FMart, and preferably no pitchers), and I don’t think that’s enough to land him at this point in the season.

Delgado is streaky but when/if Alou returns we will need his LH bat as much or more than a RH Nady. Nady would be a backup player for us and should only get extra players and a medium AA prospect at best. Another great post Zen.

If he can cut down on those, he'll be able to go deeper into games, and he'll be a true #2 pitcher. by the way, since we’re talking stats here, this is pretty irrelevant but I wanted to post it somewhere:
