Alright, we've had a great first half. What do we need? I think we
need a 5th starter. Pedro, Tom and Steve are doing a great job but a
4th starter is needed.
Just throwing this out there, Maddaux, he may be available. Now hear
me out. He's not gotten the run support when he pitches and with this
team I think he'll get plenty of that. A trade for him would come
cheap as well and well he's an expierenced Playoff pitcher. Not sure
about the details in his contract or when it ends but something to
think about. At least for the remainder of this year. Pflier , or
however his name is spelt needs some work still but could be ready for
next year. Hernandez is good 5th starter as well ,with playoff
expierence, and a proven winner in the playoffs.
Other than that I think we're golden, position players are set, 2B
although a platoon spot is just fine, ( kinda like the 86 Mets,
Backman and Tufel) Woodward and Valentine doing a great job there.

As good as maddux was, how about possibly approaching Oakland and try and trade for barry zito who is a FA at the end of the year. Imagine a rotation of...
i like maddux as a good #4 he pitched ok against the mets on friday although he gave up alot of hits i think zito would be great but its not going to happen...
I like the idea of trying to get Zito. Yeah the A's are winning, but they'd be better off trading Zito now than losing him over the winter and getting nothing...
I wonder if the Mets signed Fonz for mentoring purposes. Possibly with the potential for some coaching? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
i dont think they signed him for that he's only 32 he will be a leader in the club house but they got him to help the team in august and the playoffs he is...
I think the signing of Fonzie is for mentor and grooming purposes. He's not been much of a hitter since he got hurt the second time (with San Fran). He is...
According to MLB.com the Mets have told the Phillies that if Jon Leiber, Tom Gordon or Bobby Abreu come availble to give them a call, the Mets still show...
My only point is, if they wait for Zito to be a FA, the evil empire next door will get him, to revamp their ancient rotation. I would rather trade a prospect...
i think if zito becomes a free agent he will go to the team he feels will have the best chance to win 300 games with in an interview he just did he said his...

Im really puzzled by the Phillies who really sold Abreu to dump salary. Are
they really going to find someone in the off season that is better than Abreu....

Yes, but your not going to like them, a trade for Greg Maddux would be something Phillips would do. Is Minaya so desperate for starting pitching that he is...
The Mets SHOULD NOT trade away the next 10 years of potential stars for a quick 3 month fix. Maine and Pelfry have live arms and could be the next Kazmir....
the mets rotation is looking ok give the two rookies a few more starts and when bannister comes back you can have a 7 man rotation and or mix and match if...
Even though Delgardo has hit 25 HRs, he has been some what of a disappointment to me. For the money he makes, he Ks too much (87X this year), his .255 BA and...
i agree about delgado but if he comes around no one could beat us i was expecting 35 -40 hrs and 280-330 BA with about 120rbishe has to be having an off year...
First off we were saying the same thing about Beltran last year and now look at the season he is having. Delgado can still come around for us, or it could be...
i know but dreaming is all us mets fans can do because our team is the dumbest when it comes to trades we sign good people but than we trade the greats away...
Milleage, Solar and Maine for Crawford and Kazmir. I would do that trade in a heartbeat. Crawford is fantastic and Kazmir will only get better with maturity....
That would peak my interest if I was a GM, maybe even one of those bullpen veterens they traded for a while back to sweeten the deal, Dave Williams or Steve...

if we could get crawford we could trade an outfielder to get a pitcher and its not going to happen it would just be great if it did and beltran was hurt last...
Crawford has twenty plus hr potential, eighty to hundred rbi's potential and fifty stolen base potential, is frustrated playing for loser and getting an...
OK, so we know Crawford has a bigger upside than Cliff, who are you going to give Tampa Bay in order to get him?? Maybe another Kazmir type deal? I would...
