if Minaya were to pull off a Heilman for Fuentes trade he would again be considered a genius…

Exactly… I don’t mind giving up both pitchers if the Rockies will throw-in a low-to-mid level prospect. After all, Minaya was formerly a “scouting genius” before he became a GM many years ago… so let’s see if Minaya can pull another Perez or Maine out of his magic bag of tricks, since he seems to do ok on returns in trades when asking for throw-ins…

trading for Fuentes is a dumb idea, especially when we would have to give up something pretty good to get him. Besides, this team’s biggest problem is getting hits with RISP and that is on the hitters. The Mets are kidding themselves if they think this team can win this year with this mediocre team. And giving up more prospects is a band aid fix that will further cripple this team’s future.

If our starters went 7-8 innings a game we would have a modern day record.

Quite frankly, the starters need to suck it up and go at least 7-8 innings instead of 5-6. Then the bullpen wouldn’t be tired and battered and we’d be winning ballgames.

Uhhh… Are you really sure about that?

I understand your concern for the Mets “other” glaring weknesses (at 1st, 2nd and LF). But at 32-34 with Billy Wagner having blown 3 straight saves and the repeated Aaron Heilman debacles…the bullpen actually IS the reason we’re under .500. Granted we’d only be a few games over, but who wouldn’t take 5 over right now instead of 2 under?

This is where Omar needs to do his homework. If the Rockies want both relievers make sure we get at least a prospect back along with Fuentes.

heilman and show right now I think would be a good deal… both have a chance of doing well outside of NY, and heilman’s drop in value may be equal to show’s rise, so maybe they still would take it?
