Healthy sanchez and youngsters to fill in the blowouts. Green and feliciano tandem in the seventh (much like the bradford feliciano combo of 06) Everyone keeps saying we need anorher lefty to beat the phillies. Whwn would he pitch? Howard and utley aren't going to come up every inning, and if we would even think about giving beimel the call in the eighth over Putz we just wasted 7 players in a bad trade with Seattle. Enough with the match-ups we have arguably the best 2 closers in the game. Let them pitch. K rod and Putz in the eighth and ninth. Healthy sanchez and youngsters to fill in the blowouts.

Feliciano was not very good most of the year, and he's our main bp lefty. The Phils have 4 potent lefty's in their lineup. We need another lefty option for that reason only. They are our main competition in the East. If the Mets could swing Lowe and Ollie....then there's no way we don't win the East by at least 5 games, and probably more. Their pitching would be outright FILTHY!!! That would be sweet! Can't wait to spring training!! Omar definately needs to get another lefty for the pen.

A lot of potential upside. Why play him in right though? Not left field? I guess they might swap Church's position. Omar should stay away from Manny....unless they can get him for 1 year. If they sign him for longer than that...at much less than Manny expected, then he's gonna be more trouble than he's worth because he'll be unhappy with his deal, like in Boston. I still would like to see Burrell in left, and a platoon of Tatis and Church in right. I'm still suspect on Church being the player he was before his concussion. Castillo deserves to prove us wrong, and come back with a solid season. I'm sure he's working on doing just that.... Hmm..not sure what to think about getting AJones. A lot of potential upside.

He's not going to take much to sign, he looked pretty decent at the end of '08, and if he's got any stones at all he'd LOVE to stick it to the Yanks and their fans for hounding him all these years.
