Other Blogs: Is it Time to Rebuild, Prospects
Andrew Beaton of Hot Foot explores the idea of trading Gary Sheffield and other veterans, like Pedro Feliciano.
…it’s tempting andrew… but, the reality is, at best, the Mets would get a low-level minor-leaguer for a guy like 
sheffield, or even Livan Hernandez, both of whom are far more likely to get claimed on waivers than get shipped out in a pre-deadline deal… most teams already have players on their current roster who are better than these two… feliciano, on the other hand, probably could get a player back, but not a prospect… in short, look at deadlines past, it’s not the late 90s anymore…
Speaking of prospects, Eric Simon of Amazin Avenue posts a very long, in-depth Q&A about the Mets farm system with John Sickels of Minor League Ball, who says of Ike Davis, “As a hitter, he projects as a regular first baseman… he’s doing a lot better this year and controls the zone very well.”
Sickels also weighs in on Brad Holt, Jennry Mejia, Wilmer Flores and Ruben Tejada, among others.
