|  Suppose the EXPERTS are right...(discuss SP) the Mets don't have the pieces to acquire a front line SP. Play GM...what's your plan? Here's one... Sign Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia both and trade for Prior if the price is right. Quantity over quality. Sign Colon to a short term deal. He was descent the last couple weeks of the season. If he hold up until late June...Garcia is back. Sign Garcia to a deal that will pay him base + invectives. He's back in July. Trade for Prior. It's a risk but he'll be less costly then Santana and the rest of the usual suspects on the trade block that the Mets supposedly don't have the chips to get. Prior is scheduled to return in April. With some hard work he's still a better option then everyone on the free agent list. If just one of these guys regains form they can win. It's a short term solution but the farm stays for the most part intact until the trade deadline. It's not as if the Mets are playing in the AL. The NL East stinks in spite of the Braves and Phillies marginal improvements. The Bullpen is still the major issue.

Garcia and Pryor? Yes. Colon? No. chronic bad back + fat f*ck = DL.... What good is a short term deal if he can't stay on the mound? The other two or at least recovering from injuries, so hope can be had there. Pryor definitely worth a look, and IMO, should cost a couple of low level prospects (much like the Castillo trade). If nothing else happens, I would trade for Pryor, and sign Garcia. At worst, it won't force the Mets to have Humber in the rotation, and Garcia gives them added depth for the stretch run (if there is one). Omar really should stay away from all the fat, old, and injured guys. That said, I really, really hope I am wrong, but I get the sense that sometime next Friday, Omar will be saying, "I got nothing..." Last edited by Bay Ridge Dave : 11-29-2007 at 02:20 PM. | |

| The majority seem to feel that even though the Mets prospects are not good enough to make our rotation or starting line up, we should be able to trade them one for one with a reliable front line starter, scratch that, an Ace (Santana), because the other teams GM's are all met fans and they of course would help us out.

| You better run along Rain Man, your gonna miss Wapner. The throw some sh** up against the wall method doesn't usually work. Your scenario is absolute worst case. I guarantee you that there are pitchers out there other than Santana, Bedard, Haren, Blanton (and some those guys are probably not REALLY available). After the Winter Meetings we'll have a clear picture.

20 years in the insurance business and you start to look at worst case scenario as the norm. Play the GM Shooter. What the alternative?
