Johan, Lowe, Pelfrey, Maine, Pedro/Niese/FA is so much better than Johan, Pelfrey, Vasquez, Maine, Garland/Marquis/FA

Thus you have a question mark in Maine and a question mark in Niese. If you get Vasquez and another #3-5 guy then you don't have those question marks. Sorry but as I said Johan, Lowe, Pelfrey, Maine, Niese is not as good as Johan, Pelfery, Vasquez, Maine, other #5. Problem is that if you over pay for Lowe then you can’t afford another starter.

Why try and fix the Castillo mistake with a larger one? Maybe eating a little of the Castillo deal would lessen the prospects. Something like 6.5 million. That means that the Mets would basically be getting Vazquez for market value for 2 years. Not bad at all. I would not touch Hudson for anything more than 4/32 at the most.

I would love to see Castillo go, but want no part of Hudson on a big money long term deal. I wish you were signing my paychecks!

Let's sign Eckstein to play 2nd. Who cares that he's 34 and OPSed around .700 last season...he's a grinder and has heart and KNOWS how to win. He doesn't need the talent to win because he already knows how to. ...man I miss FJM... Ah yes, the old “who needs talent when I have heart and grit” argument…

What do you guys realistically think it would take to get him? I think trading Castillo and eating the third year of hisdeal, plus Evans might do it. That would open the door to sign Hudson. I'd probably be willing to give him 4 years 44 million. I'd also sign k-Rod to a 4 year 48 million deal. I'd trade Heilman and Parnell for Andy Sonnanstine And sign Juan Cruz to a 3 year 12 million deal. For people trying to keep track, thats about 30 million in additional salary. And I know we'd be signing some type A free agents, thats why i'd offer Oliver perez arbitration. I noticed alot of people talking about Vasquez.
