October 29, 200322 yr It just brings out the eternal optimism that we all have within us, no matter how negative we are externally. Livan would be too much money, plus he's been known to have his best years right before his contract comes up. Hmmmm. Coincidence? I'm not so sure. I know this may not be a popular choice, but I would like to see Kenny take a chance on Carl Pavano. He's finally over his surgery of two years ago, and the guy has good stuff. Plus, the playoff stage really showed his ability. And him pitching great just increased his confidence to such a high leve. I don't want ONLY Pavano, but he would be one guy I would look at. He would be one hell of a #4 starter, IMO. I love the offseason. Pavano would be a very nice addition to our rotation, IF we are able to sign another quality pitcher. Pavano and Ponson would be great or Pavano and Pettite. I'd be stoked if something like that happened. If somehow they can deal Koch to the Mets, then the Sox are in business using that money and what they were planning on giving Gordon to spread out and bring in 3 good arms with Wright, Scho, Wunsch, and Marte as the others. If the Sox decide no Wunsch, then they go with a younster. I'd say Pavano at 3 mill a year or something along those lines. Maybe a 2 yr 6 mill deal with a mill of incentive and an option for the 3rd year at like 4 mill or so.
October 30, 200322 yr Can anyone explain to me what the Mets see in Billy Koch? I still think he'll rebound and return to form, but what makes him so attractive to the Mets all of a sudden? That came out of nowhere.

That came out of nowhere. Koch pitched for Art Howe in Oakland. The Mets are also in negatiations with the A's pitching coach, who was Koch's pitching coach also. They sound like the perfect sucker to pull this "sting" on.
October 30, 200322 yr So Art must know something we don't, huh? Now I want to keep Koch more than ever. After all, Howe knows him better than anyone else (besides his wife, of course).
