I just see Sheets get this 'oft-injured' label and feel it's entirely overblown. I see Garland as a young workhorse who is a cure for my every fifth day heart-attack that is Ollie, steady not spectacular. Lastly, (and perhaps leastly!) I see Ollie as the Jekyll/Hyde third option who is at least as likely to last 4innings and walk 6 as he is to give the Mets a real chance to win.

Sheets, Garland, Perez. Also, fwiw IMO ERA+ isn't a very good indicator of pitchers anyway, since it's based mostly on ERA which is flawed in itself.

Can't say any of those things about Ollie. In order I'd prefer Sheets, Garland, Ollie. Garland is durable, a World Champion, and in his limited postseason appearances he flourished.

Trade for Snell from the Pirates (Heilman Evans and a lesser pitcher...Jason Vargas, Dyland Owen, Gee?) If you choose not trade for Snell, then take a flyer on a guy like Freddy Garcia or roll the dice resigning Pedro to a friendly incentive based contract for the #5 spot Sign Juan Cruz for 8th inning Sign one of the Guardado, Cordero projects for the pen on a make good deal Sign Ibanez Trade Castillo, Church and Parnell to the Yankers for Cano (total pipedream) Sign Ben Sheets…
