I was just saying cuz I heard people (other Mets fans) saying he needs to go in as a Met. I personally belive he is going in as an A.

I believe that at this point, it makes sense to keep our draft pick and just sign Ollie.

David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the Atlanta Braves made an offer to free-agent pitcher Derek Lowe on Friday.

“O’Brien guesses that the Braves’ offer was for more than the New York Mets’ reported three-year offer of $36MM. He also speculates that the annual amount would be at least $15MM in at least a three-plus-an-option deal, if not a four-year deal.”

If that’s the case let Atlanta cripple their finances and stay away.
We could have Perez and Garland for that price.

^^thank you for thinking smart, lmao at you other idiots spazzing out you think the phillies are gonna throw more money @ lowe then the dumb@$$ braves?? *didn’t think so*

I have really started to change my mind on Hudson. Not because I think he is good but because now it looks like 1-2 years might get him. That would be perfect. We work on trading Castillo but have Hudson for 2/14. We can absorb that cost.

You can’t play this game nostra.
The odds of Manny being Manny are better than Beltran being on the DL for a long stint or Wright not being able to hit. They may all be low but still the odds are about the same.

Manny is a great hitter but is not super-human cure all. If Manny was on the team and Beltran got injured, Wright could not hit and Delgado slummped we STILL would not make the playoffs.

I believe the Mets will make Pedro an offer, once everything else gets sorted out. He has too much upside to ignore. Remember that last year’s starting 5 (including the black hole known as the number 5 pitcher) would have won at LEAST 5 more games if we had a reliable pen. Add another LOOGY, take our chances in LF. We win at least 92 games.

Over the hump and into the playoffs. Where bullpens are Uber Important.

I really just want to get these guys signed, someplace.

Once Omar has his additional SP, we can see (hope for) the rest of the moves to fine tune the roster.

i am still hoping for some nice wheeling/dealing to improve the team. Not sure we will get it, but there is always that chance…

Might be too much to hope for to get a bombshell like moving Delgado, but something might happen for the OF or C (or pray, 2B).

Plus, if some of the FAs get left out in the cold, Omar may be able to snap up a bargain 9having conserved some budget). Dunn, Hudson, Sheet, Wolf, Abreboo, etc. could go abnormally cheap and/or ST deal
