Perhaps young Fernando needs a bit more seasoning? Is this a set-up for another trade involving one or more of our current outfielders?

It'd be nice at some point to have some young players to bring up as your depth in utility roles You can never have enough depth at Triple-A especially with the injuries the Mets have had but they do seem always have an abundance of 34-37 year old journeyman infielders and outfielders.

Valentin. At least until FMart possibly gets returned. Sad thing if he hits at Buffalo like he did for the Pads he would be the 2nd most productive guy after Ja. Valentin.

He had some nice years for KC: 17/86/.286 in 150 games in 05 15/81/.287 in 147 games in 06 Solid .350+ OBPs and double-digit steals as well. A head scratcher in that Buffalo is loaded with marginal major league OFs (Kielty, Sullivan, Pena, now Brown), but there is certainly a call for OF depth on this roster. Wondering if that PTBNL could involve Castro? Schneider is almost ready....

Emil has some pop so I like that but an infielder would have been a better acquisition under the circumstances. Emil is probably no better than Pagan or Jeremy Reed.
