nomembername Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 bxbomb....not saying this was the case as to why we didnt land a front line starter but what if lets say heilman needed to be included with milledge for it to happen. with the loss of sanchez he is much more valuable to us now. point is with the sudden injury who knew how that may or may not have effected any trade possibilitiesand i'm over losing Nady. yeah he fit well batting 7th but he was nothing special. will be much easier to pick up an outfielder later on then it would be to grab a set up man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A FRontline starter is what the mets needed period..and mets had the chips to be used to get one If i had to throw Heilman in the mix to get a Zito or oswalt scmidt maddux etc. knowing i just lost sanchez but picked up hernandez????buhbye Aaron You can always scour the waiver wire for a guy to get an out here and there whereas a solid starter gives you 7+ and you wouldnt have to worry so much about the penyour thisclose to gettin to a WS but you now have to go intot he playoffs with a 36 y/o breaking down Pedro a 42y/o Glavine who hasnt won in a month a 36 y/o inconsistent trachsel and a 57 yr old El duque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomembername Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 hey man i am not disagreeing with you....you know how excited I got when the name Oswalt came up? I would have pulled the trigger also on any of those guys. At first I was against trading Milledge but after seeing how poor our pitching has been, I was more then willing to part ways with him. I am just saying we are not there during talks so who knows what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bxbomb Posted September 29 Author Report Share Posted September 29 Sorry, the Mets shouldn't be shocked that right-hander Pedro Martinez is out for the postseason. If anything, they should be grateful that the fragile Martinez is their only rotation casualty.Left-hander Tom Glavine is 40. Right-hander Steve Trachsel is 35. Right-hander Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez is believed to be significantly older than his listed age of 36. And now he's the Mets' Game 1 starter. Think maybe now the Mets regret keeping outfield prospect Lastings Milledge when they could have traded him for left-hander Barry Zito before the July 31 non-waiver deadline?Rest assured, A's general manager Billy Beane would have dealt Zito for Milledge and a pitcher of modest accomplishment. Milledge's stock has since fallen, and he never was more than a promising corner outfielder to begin with. The Mets could definitely use an ace like A's hurler Barry Zito as they head to the postseason. (George Nikitin / Associated Press) Zito, a potential free agent, might only have amounted to a two- or three-month rental. But the Mets would have had the resources to re-sign him — and his former pitching coach with the A's, Rick Peterson, as a selling point. As it stands, there's no Zito and no Pedro. The Mets are in trouble.Even before the team announced Thursday that Martinez would not pitch in the postseason, one National League executive predicted that the team was a first-round knockout waiting to happen. If the executive was overstating the case, his forecast seems rather prescient in hindsight.At this point, it will be an upset if the Mets win the NL title. Even with Martinez, their starting rotation featured too many soft tossers. Without him, it simply isn't good enough.The Padres boast the league's best overall staff. The Astros, Phillies and maybe even the Dodgers all boast stronger rotations than the Mets. Of course, only one of those clubs might reach the postseason.In theory, the Mets' potent offense could overcome their questionable rotation, but the offense has struggled in recent weeks. One scout who saw the Mets this week says their top hitters are vulnerable to "gas in" — fastballs inside. And, whether it's coincidence or not, left-handed starters have given the Mets fits since they traded outfielder Xavier Nady to the Pirates for pitchers Roberto Hernandez and Oliver Perez.The whole thing is a shame. The Mets had produced a special season. Two weeks ago, they appeared to be a prohibitive favorite to reach the World Series. Now, suddenly, they're just another dubious NL club.
