Here is why the Mets would do it. First, most teams have two frontline starters. Look how the Brewers made their run in the 2nd half. Look how the Cubs did it. Look how the Red Sox do it. Oliver Perez is not worth the 15MM he is going to seek on the open market. Halladay, at 14.5MM is a much cheaper and about 150x better option. A major shakeup would be necessary after a 2nd season with this type of collapse. It will also open the door for a #3 hitter and left fielder named Manny. Here is why Toronto would do it. Halladay is 31 yrs old and perhaps leveling off as a starter. They have tried many years to win with him, but have failed to build a team around him that has been good enough. They are losing Burnett this offseason. I think they are ready to start from scratch with a cornerstone player and top prospect.

Even if they sign K-Rod, the rest of the pen is bad. You know just K-Rod is not the answer. They need to get the 7th, 8th inning guys, and last adecent long man as well. They need to re-sign OP as well. They need to really look at Kunz as well for one of the above slots - maybe the 7th inning. Heilman , Dirty Sanchez, Feliciano probably have seen better days. They may get some team to take a shot at Heilman as a starter. Cardinals would probably look at him at that spot Unless they bring up F-Mart, a corner OF is still a problem.

Sign Krod, a 2-3 starter and a #5 starter. Offense is fine. Ho hmmm.

But in the big picture , the bullpen is a pigpen. You know what thats filled with. Looking ahead, the weather will be a factor and maybe a good one. Starters may get a rest, or shortened games and little pen needed. Looking toward next year. Yes , Posted things way ahead. Months ago I talked about this kid murphy in Binghamton. Now Looking at needs, corner outfield and pen. The Mets should reintroduce themselves to the Twins. Mike Cuddyer probably at this point has no real role. He can supply power and average. Young, Gomez and Span are locks for their outfield. Cuddyer is expendable. They are very deep in the pen. Watching their game versus Chisox, the brought in young kids who did the job. Jesse Crain could be had cheap. Now what do we have to give up ? The Twins are always looking for depth in the minors that is how they are built. Amazing no Johan and Tori Hunter and they asre still in it. Ike Davis and Havens and some lower level prospects may , yes may do the job. It probably would cost the Mets 5 players in total Yes last night the hitters should have done the job and did not UGH. But in the big picture , the bullpen is a pigpen.

(when the game ended with the bases loaded for the mets) lou couldve easily brought in marmol for the 8th instead of the other guy with the name nobody can pronounce hmm.

And really is it because of Alou that we did not win last night? Again, you keep wanting to bring these things up. However, DID WE HAVE ENOUGH TALENT TO WIN LAST NIGHTS GAME. Answer the question.

Just like wins in April still count towards your total. IF we had won one more game in June then we would have a 1 game lead in stead of tied. If we had scored 1 more run in the 4th then it would have been game over in the 9th. Have been saying it all year. Just like wins in April still count towards your total.
