He makes Ollie Perez look like a paragon of consistency. Odalis Perez will drive you nuts with his hot/cold switch seemingly on every pitch. Much better to have Pedro than Odalis, but I'm hoping we can find an upgrade who will be a proven innings eater (180 IP) with some consistency. This is, after all, supposed to be a contending team.

You mean like his brother Ramon did, right? Don't be so arrogant to think you know so much more than others - and then fail to back it up with data. nrmax88 –

They are not that far off at least from Wolfs. Ollie will get $10,11 mil, Wolf $8,9 mil and you maybe can get Odalis for like $4 mil? As a 5th starter if we sign Lowe. I say yes because we need 2 lefty starters to offset the Philthies. Look at Odalis Perez’ stats and compare him to Randy Wolf and Ollie. They are not that far off at least from Wolfs.

Niese and Parnell are just not ready. Do you remember Pelfrey's 2006-07? You'd be looking at a 6 ERA and a shot confidence. Let the kids develop, be patient. I think that statement was made in haste.

It's painful to watch him float 85mph fastballs out there. Sure, #5's don't need to be dominant, but considering the Mets' success against other #5's in the NL, we at least need some consistency out of that spot. Not to mention the whole "keep the bullpen fresh" thing... It's not enough that he's injured, but he's also old. That's a double whammy. If I'm taking on someone old, they gotta be healthy. If I'm taking an injury project, then he should at least be young enough to work and recover instead of tripping over his own body parts... So hire him as a coach.
