He's the only decent bullpen guy we have right now, and he proved last night he can handle save situations. We need Pelfrey (11 wins) in the rotation and I wouldn't risk Maine's rotator cuff over a lack of a closer. Perez could be an option, but we'd be losing a starter in the middle of a playoff race.

If we don't have quality starts, there's nothing to protect. why would you trade 11-14 quality innings a week for 4-6? especially with the concerns about Maine’s elbow (not to mention that there’s still no certainty how pedro will continue)?

There are no good relievers out there right now on waivers. Gagne is a bust and Corpas is no better than the guys we have. I would take Weathers, but he isn't that good either. However, it is much easier to find a 5th starter (either on waivers or in the minors). We MUST shift Big Pelf to the pen if Wagner doesn't come back. Hell, I'd say we put Pelf out there even if Wagner is ok. We can get by with Johan, Ollie, Maine, Pedro and a 5th starter (Niese, Figueroa, Vargas, etc..) I'd love for the Mets to try to get Randy Wolf from the Astros. He's be a perfect #5. We play them this week-get on the phone Omar!!!!! Maine is a little scary because his arm is bad, but we will have to hope he can give us 5-6 innings in the playoffs. With our 4th and/or 5th starters in the pen come playoff time, we will be in good shape. It is just getting to the playoffs that is the major problem. Once there, I think our boys could hang with anyone! You guys have zero common sense. There are no good relievers out there right now on waivers.
