I didnt see too many opposing pitchers smiling whenever Francoeur came up to the plate in a Mets uniform. Can we ditch the Frenchy rants already, it’s getting quite old.

You aren’t winning anything with Doumit and Francoeur hitting 5 and 6, even with that starting pitching.

He had a good year for Luis Castillo. The fact remains that he can hardly hit the ball out of the infield and he has the range of Dan Uggla. If I wanted a second baseman with Dan Uggla’s range then I’d want him to hit like Dan Uggla. Time to unload Castillo. Almost anyone would be an upgrade.

1) Doumit would catch and play first here

2) Docs age concerns me but I dont think you would have to go past 5 yrs.

plus doc has a smooth delivery and doesnt throw that hard. There is still plenty of tread left

Doc and Johan have 3 world class years left in them…which is why the time is now for the mets

I rather get Haren over Doc but it would cost more in prospects

uhm why are we blaming stuff on Castillo, he had a good year, one of the only mets who had a good year

Doumit plays defense like Murphy in LF! And Doc is flat out too old for A) what it would take to get him, and B) to sign him to a 6 or 7 year extension is Ludicrous for a pitcher who will be 33 in 2010!

I agree, Figgins doesn’t give the Mets enough of what they need for the kind of money he’s asking! Money would be better spent elsewhere.

Why would you trade one your most promising SP to get a Salary dump SP who is good, but not near the potential Pelfrey has. Not too mention Arroyo can be a FA in 2 years while Pelfrey is under team contol for years to come and at a reasonable price. I would think if the Mets picked up all Arroyo’s salary they should be able to get Phillips for a couple of B prospects at the most. Now that’s a deal worth making.

The Mets should try and get Harang and Phillips from Cincy. Doumit from the Pirates. And then trade for Doc

Reyes
Phillips
Wright
Beltran
Doumit
Francouer
Pagan/Pierre(castillo for pierre)
Murphy

Johaness
Doc
Harang
Pelf
Olly

Maine in the pen if hes not included in any of the trades

tell me thats not a championship contending team

or Id bat Pagan/Pierre or Murphy in the 2 slot and Phillips in the 5 slot ..
