Halladay should be option 2, but we can't even consider Wells ... i'm pretty sure we can match up with some of Toronto's needs. Beckett would be option 3, and i know we can match up with the Sox .... but that opens the Beltran or Reyes can of worms ... Oswalt would be option 4 .... i just worry about his durability at his age and frame .... a bit like Petey, and he's been a horse for so long. Marquis is option 5 .... but not sure he is the qualiity we are looking for .... if we have the $$$$, we should sign him no matter which of the above options we take. For pitchers:

That's the average of his contract as a whole, which is very heavily back-loaded. At this point, he's owed 124 million dollars over the next five seasons. That averages out to almost 25 million a season. Any team who seriously wants to take that on, if you're adding a Halladay extension on on top of that, would be adding at least 45 mil per year for at least the next five years to their payroll. That's insane.... Since people keep bringing up Wells, I think it’s worth noting that taking him on would not cost us only 18 mil a year.

Not sold on a trade for Halladay. The Mets would be paying twice, players and then to sign him. Also the amount of innings Halladay has pitched in the last two years is a lot. It is hard not to wonder if he is an injury waiting to happen. If the Mets are willing to trade their top prospects I would like to see it done on a younger star that is under a cheap contract. A-Gonz! Lackey and Harden would be nice. Not sold on a trade for Halladay. The Mets would be paying twice, players and then to sign him.

LAckey is the only one out there and the MEts should get him. Then we will sign MAtt Holliday. So far all of this can happen. Agree? next we sign a catcher. Molina/Olivo or BArajas to a 2 year contract. Agree? Next we sign Wolf or MArquis to be our number 3 starter. IT CAN HAPPEN SO FAR! Next, we upgrade our bullpen and bench a little bit. Again, it can happen. Now, MAYBE, we could trade CAstillo and sign Hudson. There is only one maybe throughout the MEts off-season. MAybe Omar will get the idea.

If you want to offer Pelfrey for Halladay that might make more sense but I'd like to keep him maybe Neise, Parnell, Fmart for Halladay. I am not sure but I agree the plan is a little too complicated but props for thinking outside the box I like Maine and Pelfrey but I would trade one of them but not both, you are leaving two holes open in the rotation and trading away cheap under contract pitchers.
