I AM LUKE WARM ON DEREK LOWE SEE: P MARTINEZ, EL DUKIE AND M ALOU. IF THEY SIGN LOWE AND HE BOMBS, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO START THE CHANTS OF FIRE OMAR.

He makes way to much money for the type of numbers he puts up. Even if we could trade castllo straight up for wells I wouldn't do it. He won't cost the 14 a year your thinking he'll cost because of the structure of his contract. I don't know about you but I don't want to pay the guy 63 million over the last 3 years of his contract. That is way to much money for a guy who's basically averaged under 25 home runs and less then 100 rbi's over the last 4 seasons. I think vernon wells is really overrated.

where did all this vernon wells talk come from? i’m not comfortable trading the farm for something we can find for cheaper or through FA…plus i think wells is a bit overrated

i think we would be good if the team looked like this in 09

reyes
hudson
wright
delgado
beltran
tatis
church (switch the 2 and insert murph if its a RHP)
castro (schieder)

santana
big pelf
lowe
maine
wolf

(or would it be better to retain ollie and get garland?) either way we have to sign at least 2 more LHP to the roster

what do you think?

Seriously tho what are peoples feelings on adding Perez or Lowe, i want both but thats a dream.... After picking up one of them we send a package that includes Castillo and whatever prospects it takes to sign Jason Marquis, who in the past has been a big game pitcher.... Then sign Hudson, I know he doesnt solve any problems but the big bat isnt coming this offseason.... that would give us OR in a dream: SS - Reyes ss - Reyes 2nd - Hudson 3rd - Wright CF - Beltran cf - Beltran 1st - Delgado 1st - Delgado 3rd - Wright rf - Wells RF - Church lf - church LF - Murphy 2nd - Murphy C - Castro ( i hope) c - Casto P P The one on the right is a dream that adds a huge right handed power bat to our lineup and allows right to move up into a spot that gives him more at bats with Reyes on base which means RBI machine.... but the one on the left gives us a better pitching staff which looks like this otherwise its the one on the right: Santana Santana Lowe/Perez Lowe/Perez Pelfrey Pelfrey Maine Maine Marquis Neise/Parnell I know Wells makes the lineup awesome but obtaining hudson and marquis and losing Castillo does more for the whole team then just adding Wells..... Either way you look at it Castillo has to go and in my opinion Murphy needs to play this year because it looks like the Mets have him in long term plans somewhere like first base.... Any opinions????? Well I have to say I like the idea of Vernon Wells but it seems like a long shot that we really cant afford but if they will do it for Castillo ill drive…. Seriously tho what are peoples feelings on adding Perez or Lowe, i want both but thats a dream…. After picking up one of them we send a package that includes Castillo and whatever prospects it takes to sign Jason Marquis, who in the past has been a big game pitcher…. Then sign Hudson, I know he doesnt solve any problems but the big bat isnt coming this offseason….

that would give us OR in a dream:
SS – Reyes ss – Reyes
2nd – Hudson 3rd – Wright
CF – Beltran cf – Beltran
1st – Delgado 1st – Delgado
3rd – Wright rf – Wells
RF – Church lf – church
LF – Murphy 2nd – Murphy
C – Castro ( i hope) c – Casto
P P

The one on the right is a dream that adds a huge right handed power bat to our lineup and allows right to move up into a spot that gives him more at bats with Reyes on base which means RBI machine…. but the one on the left gives us a better pitching staff which looks like this otherwise its the one on the right:

Santana Santana
Lowe/Perez Lowe/Perez
Pelfrey Pelfrey
Maine Maine
Marquis Neise/Parnell

I know Wells makes the lineup awesome but obtaining hudson and marquis and losing Castillo does more for the whole team then just adding Wells….. Either way you look at it Castillo has to go and in my opinion Murphy needs to play this year because it looks like the Mets have him in long term plans somewhere like first base…. Any opinions?????
