QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 08:11 AM) And Humber would be a top SP in our system, and he throws pretty hard IIRC. He tops out at 94 and lives at about 92. He's got very good command of his fastball and a major league curveball. From what I've heard he throws a plus change as well. Most Mets fans would consider him their 4th or 5th best prospect right now.

Buehrle is a whoo whoo.

Seriously, pitching in the NL East for any team not named the Phillies is a dream. Shea, Dolphin, RFK, and Turner. That's a lot of outfield.

You can cancel the buy protection with one phone call if you still like that card.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) Or let everyone know they are and start a bidding war. That's not how it works. I should've added prospects in there, but you know what I meant. No cellar dwellars start bidding wars with each other for prospects at the trade deadline. It's the playoff hopefulls that compete for seasoned vets after the hopeless teams have dangled them as bait.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) Paul is in his pull monkey mode were he tries to pull every single pitch no matter were it is. Today they exploited that by throwing changeups and slow crap on the outside corner. Paulie was much ablidged to work out the SS on that or pop it up. Line drive swings win ball games. Being a softball team that tries to jerk pitches over the fence no matter what the situation is reminds me of the 2001-2004 Offense we strolled in here time after time. It's a bloodbath at third.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) when do GM's ever tell the truth.... this really means nothing. Especially with the emergence of Haeger/Phillips in AAA who can fill in for a starter if one of them goes down... not saying they would be amazing but the 6th starter isnt apposed to be. Are you being serious right now?

QUOTE(Jake @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 04:49 PM) I was under the impression .220 was the Mendoza line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendoza_line

I thought Podsednik at least had a good plan there. He took two steps back during Mariano's delivery to neutralize the cutter but he actually didn't step back far enough.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 07:02 PM) How has Sean been doing since he was sent down? July has been rough. 10.2 IP, 11 H, 7 BB, 8 K, 8.43 ERA, 1.68 WHIP

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 11:02 PM) Because how many times has it happened, and will these teams like the Mets give up a Mike Pelfrey for a Freddy Garcia, after they've already been burned once from a similar sort of deal before? It is a different situation if you ask me. Kazmir was considered a better prospect at the time of his trade than Pelfrey is now, and he was two years younger. Freddy Garcia's skills may be deteriorating this year, but he's still no Victor Zambrano. Forty games over .500 in his career and would obviously benefit pitching in Shea having a greater tendancy towards the fly ball. Freddy also has loads of postseason experience while Zambrano obviously had none. Freddy has 9 total postseason starts in his career, and his numbers in those starts are pretty impressive considering that is against top-notch competition. Lastly, the Mets as a team are in a much different situation now than they were two years ago. They are 13 games up and no one else in their division is even that close to .500. Barring a monumental collapse, they will be going to the postseason and to obtain a vet like Garcia will put their very questionable starting rotation in a better state, even though Freddy is having a sub-par season by his standards.

This is amazing. If they ever prorate the charge this season I will jump at it. But I'm not paying full price for half a season.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) I really hope McCarthy doesn't let Thornton's run score. Matt doesn't deserve to have it tacked on to himself, and he doesn't deserve to get tagged with a loss if it ends that way. This is really the least of my worries.
