The only bat available who the Mets know can CONSISTENTLY hit it out of CIti is Adam Dunn! End of story!

They do need a bat, but it needs to be the type of bat that can be a difference maker. Johnson and Huff are not such bats. Dye possibly is.

Starting pitching hasn’t been the problem? I seem to remember a 15-0 loss, a now 10-6 loss, a 8-5 loss an 11-6 loss a 7-1 loss, a 9-8 loss and 2 games against philly that they won in extra innings.

I’d say pitching is of a major concern. This team has averaged 4.2 runs a game which should be enough to win most games.

Yes we probably need a Bat. But if reyes comes back healthy i sincerely believe they have more then enough offense. They have had such inconsistent pitching and the bullpen has been so over-used that it’s starting to wear on them.

A few points:

1) Starting pitching is not the Mets problem. If Maine and Perez come back before the All Star break, then there is no room for Martinez.

2) This team needs a bat – be it a Huff, Dye or Johnson.

Good so lets go get someone that can actually help this team.

Pedro is not that guy.

if it’s true about the death of his fastball, he should just hang it up. don’t even make a team waste it’s time. wait… on second thought, maybe the Phillies should make an inquiry.
