He is clearly NOT the mets 3rd best starter, nor is he the answer. He could be an excellent Darren Oliver impersonater.

Also if Wise sucks (or Turnbow when/if) we can call up Smith, we cant get back Sosa...

Pagan, Chavez, and Anderson are redundant, and there is no need to keep all three. I'm thinking the Mets would be best with Figueroa in the pen as the long man, but are they ready to give Armas Jr. a try? I would also make sense to remove an OF from the roster.

We know we're stuck with Castillo but Sosa, Willie and Delgado should be sent packing while we still have time. It's not going to be early forever and that is something everybody needs to stop saying that it's early and we're at .500. Being at .500 is not good enough for this team it needs a kick and it needs it fast. Sosa should go, Delgado should go, Willie should go and Castillo should go.
