On BBTN Buster Olney made it sound like the Mets maybe working on a deal for Cordero. He said that something is "definitely brewing" between the Mets and the Nats, and that the Nats had two scouts at Binghamton the last few nights and offered up the names of Mulvey and Carp as possible prospects they would be interested in. He could be a very significant addition to the pen and someone we could groom to take over for Wagner when his contract is up. Then again maybe we are looking at someone else on the Nats.

If they're also looking at Belliard, I'm just not sure if I could stand seeing his tongue every day.

Yeah that is the only other person I could think of who they might be interested in on the Nats. Personally, I would rather stay put with Gotay/Easley and use whatever chips we have for somewhere else, unless you could get a good young 2b, like Brian Roberts (completely dreaming).

I would prefer Brundlefly to vomit on my head before the Mets suited up Belliard.

Belliard just signed an extension with the Nats. I highly doubt he's going to be traded less than a week later...

Cordero for Mulvey and Carp? I think we have unanimous consent on that one.

GET THE PIECE OF CRAP McGimpy OFF MY TEAM NOW!!!!!

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound.

During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.

In a heartbeat, but I really think that Bowden would have to be on one of his drinking binges to do that.

Two B-level prospects for a guy that saved 40+ games 2 years ago?

Isn't Carp about the only real good prospect we have at first base?

Deleted User

Probably, unless there is someone buried deeper, but that doesn't matter. As much as you like to develop your own players and such, a team with the financial means of the Mets can afford to go the FA/trade route for a power-hitting 1B.

NickPapagiorgio

I would imagine there would maybe be a ML level player also in the deal. Maybe something like Heilman and those two for Cordero. That said, I would still do that deal.

I think a lot of folks are just jumping on the "Omar liked the guy when he was the GM in Mon" idea and the rumors of Cordero being on the blocks and making up their own stories off of it. See - the 3 years of Sammy Sosa rumors....hell even that one is back in full force.

As much as I would like to see him here, I just dont see it happening and I don't see the Nats bothering to deal him unless its an absolute steal for them.

Cordero is a tad overrated in my opinion, he was excellent in the first few months of 2005 and okay since. He should not warrant dealing more than a couple of A ball prospects for.

Nate126

Hell yeah, do it! I'll even throw in Chip Ambres.

Shooter Mcgavin

That would be an AWESOME deal for the Mets! It would solidify the pen.

I'd hold off on writing off Carp in a deal for a relief pitcher that is not really necessary.
