I'm not to sure about the option for the 6th though. We can sign Wolf or MArquis or GArland after that still. I’d give him 5 years. I’m not to sure about the option for the 6th though.

I also think sliding Beltran down to 6 may help him. His speed in front of Franceour would be nice and taking the pressure of him could be a positive.

If you can sign Wolf or Marquis, it would give you room to move other SPs like Pelfrey, Maine or Perez in a deal for Halladay or Gonzo. You could also attempt to sign a guy like Marquis as well.

We are not looking for him to be an ace for five or six years but a guy behind Santana, if he levels off a bit or gets injured in a few years I think the deal will still be worth it. He's good, pitching wins I would give him five years, with a sixth year option and if he really wanted the sixth year guaranteed i’d give it to him, especially if it was make or break for the deal, even if he falls off after year four or five that still gives you three to four years of production from him, also we have a 30 year old ace, Halladay would be the 1A of the staff.

No one else. Other than AGon, they should hold on to those prospects, who could make for a very good team 2011+. Sorry for any confusion. I meant you only trade those prospects for AGon.

I mean, I still think Gonzalez is the right move, but I wouldn't expect much on my farm to help me in 2011. I'd expect my 2011 class to be playing in San Diego.

There is a lot of use wear in that right arm and you are sure to get diminshing returns over the life of his contract.

Having said that, unlike Santana, Gonzalez does not have a no-trade and has a reasonable price tag, but still, it's worth a call. A lot of the people who said the Mets lacked the pieces to get Santana probably wouldn't have bothered to make the call. They forget how reluctant many teams are to part with many of their key prospects. That’s what most people said about Santana, as well.

Oh well too bad this will never happen and we'll probably end up with dye and laroche, or some other awful combo that will cost way more than its worth. id put wright in the 6 hole with alot less pressure and use castillo at 2. lengthens it out a bit.
