11/20/09 06:23 PM Andy: system. I love him as a player, but not for the price. He plays a position with cheaper options. To spend that much talent on a player he needs to be playing up the middle. |
11/20/09 10:50 PM Tejesh: I like Adrian, but again, if you're making one trade, you have to go all in |
11/20/09 10:50 PM Tejesh: As in - Adrian + Josh Johnson via trade, AND Lackey + Holliday + Bengie via FA |
11/21/09 01:48 AM Evan: I dont know if we have the money to do this, but id trade fernando,wilmer,tejada, and famillia/someone soldid for Halladay, then sign piniero and hollliday-- then win world series |
11/21/09 01:49 AM Evan: Johan-Halladay-Pelfrey-Maine-Niese |
11/21/09 01:14 PM Tejesh: Um - 1. i doubt that's enough for hallday |
11/21/09 01:14 PM Tejesh: 2. where's pineiro in your rotation? |
11/21/09 01:14 PM Tejesh: 3. i think we need 2 big bats to make our lineup elite again |
11/21/09 05:22 PM Andy: That is more than enough for Halladay... With his contract demands I think he is attainable for a Santana type deal. That deal Evan mentioned has 4 of our top 10 prospects. I think we could have |
11/21/09 05:23 PM Andy: Halladay for F-Mart, Holt, Tejada, and somebody like Shaw |
11/21/09 05:24 PM Andy: I don't think we have enough to get Adrian Gonzales and Josh Johnson |
11/21/09 05:26 PM Andy: Either would decimate our farm system... Either deal woud require both F-Mart and Mejia plus one or two other high end prospects. |
11/21/09 06:10 PM Tejesh: But in return you're getting a much younger commodity |
11/21/09 06:10 PM Tejesh: Halladay's age scares me |
11/21/09 06:12 PM Andy: I'm not saying I wouldn't do that for Josh ohnson |
11/21/09 06:13 PM Andy: *Johnson. |
11/21/09 06:14 PM Andy: I just don't see how we could possiby get both Josh and Adrian. There are just not enough quality prospects to make it happen. |
11/21/09 06:15 PM Andy: All things being equal I would deal for Halladay as well. If that was the only piece keeping the Mets from being a contender over the next fie years. We just have too many holes. We need to spread |
11/21/09 06:17 PM Andy: our resources around more than that. We can't afford another starter at 23 mil a yr. That being said, Halladay might be worth that for a team in a different situation. |
11/21/09 06:21 PM Andy: I think Halladay will age gracefully. His velocity has been consistent, his command is getting better and better and his K/9 has seen a resurgance. |
