Who would you rather us give up that another team would want? You have to give up something to get good players, unless FLA/PHI want to do a salray dump.. then that is different.
I would like to see that.. and in 2 years we can turn him into the DH when Thomas Contract is up.. and in 07 offseason who knows who going to be out there to play 1b.
Pauly yeah If we can lock him up great lets do it, Does anyone know any other FA 1b are out there for the 05 offseason?
Shingo? He has one good half year as the closer and you want to ink him to a long term deal?? Lets see what he does this year before we jump the gun like we did with Uribe.
Trades
Pauly to Baltimore for Melvin Mora and Tejada With Baltimore picking up all salraies
Crede and Dye to Seattle for Ichro and reed
Willie Harris and PTBNL for Mark Loretta and Jake Peavy
Joe B and Cotts to St Louis for Pujouis and Mulder the cards picking up their salary
Carl Everett to the Rockies for Todd Helton
Jose Contreas to the cubs for Proir
Ben Davis and Galrand to Cleveland for Victor Martinez
Spod and Munoz to the ANgels for Vladdy and F-rod
Just think of the lineup

2b Loretta
3b Mora
1b Pujouis
RF Vladdy

I think me might have a shot at the WS..
WOW, now that the first I heard of any of that..IMO should look to deal Piazza first a 36 year old C.. who was never able to throw runners out when he was younger. This IMO is a bad Idea..
The Mets still have not leanred from their msitakes have they? They are still paying for Vaughn salary and now they want to take on Sosa.. that is just plain stupid IMO.
I agree, I think that the thing that makes me the ticked off, is Crede turns it on about August- Sept time, and I get stooked that he going to come into the next season, come out swinging. But only to regress back to the long swing.
I don't see it esp with the new riods policy, I think they OF is set
RF Cameron
CF Beltran
LF Floyd
And if the Mets sign, Delgado where does Piazza play? I thought they wanted to convert him to a 1b.
I really do hope Crede gets his swing together, he has done great in the minors, came up had a great end of year in 02, then it is like he wanted to be to much of a slugger, than a contact hitter.
Why? We don't need him here now with the signing of AJ and Davis our C situation is fine. I didn't see any other team knocking down his door when he was released to sign him.
AJ perz..is the twins? That made no sense. That and that he waent to teams that had winning seasons...Twins and Giants, did it w/o him..
That was one of the dumbest comments so far
Didn't overpay, for a old hack who might be good...Rowand is going to be a stud. and we have him inked for 2-3 years..just long enough for him to become a star and then leave cause we underbid him..
