K Rod to the Metropolitans
|
Wood maybe to Cleveland. 2 years with option. Good deal for indians. Lewis and Wood give them a pretty salty 8th and 9th innings.
|
Ramon hernandez to Reds.
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...2008&fext=.jsp Maybe Weinters gets a chance to make O's team in spring training? Hate to see Freel go as he was a fun player to watch but his game is all legs and hamstring tears are scary. I dont think either of the prospects to the O's are highly rated. |

Game 4 wasn't enough pain for the Dodgers to get a closer huh? Dumb fkn pasta-eating moron.

KRod made $10M last year and Billy Wags $10.5M
Now $37M for three years . Let's see if the bad economy continues to impact baseball salaries so severely:rolleyes: |

I'm going to flip wig if the Phils trade young arm J.A. Happ to the Cubs for Derosa like whats been rumored.:mad:

K-Rod is on the decline but even declining he should still be pretty good for the next three years. I'd like to see them package Heilman to Colorado to get Street. If something happened to K-Rod then I'd feel a lot better about Street stepping in. Plus while both are healthy it is a nice 1-2 punch at the end of games.
I'm completely and totally underwhelmed by the starters out there. Lowe seems the best bet but it sounds like he's looking for more money and years than he is worth. Sabathia is getting way too much money, Sheets and Burnett are too injury prone, Perez is too inconsistent. Would love to see them go after Sonnanstine in a trade if the price isn't too high. |

Mets need way more than just a closer in that bullpen.

Brandon Lyon would be a good pickup if he doesnt want stupid money |
Juan Cruz and Trever miller would also be upgrades to the Mets. Saito may be released by the Dodgers and would be another possibility though he is an injury risk. there are lots of servicable RP's out there and with the economy being what it is these are the types of guys who are going to have to be realistic about what they ask for. There are also several japanese vet's that have made themselves eligible for bids.

Sonnanstine is still young, doesn't allow a lot of baserunners and should benefit moving to the National League. I think he can be a very effective #4 and potentially develop into more which is all they need right now. I'd even take a flyer on Edwin Jackson if Tampa decides the price for Sonnanstine is too high. I think Penny is probably done but would be a nice guy to bring in on a minor league deal if there is no other interest in him. Any time you are on the 60 day DL with "right shoulder soreness" it is never a good sign. |

The good thing about Cruz is that he strikes people out. Really besides Wagner they have/had no one who can get outs like that.

Sonnanstine wasn't as hittable in the minors and I think the hits will drop as he goes into his third season and with a move to the NL. In Citifield or whatever it is going to be called he'll be a 4.00 ERA guy with a 1.19 WHIP which should do quite well as a #4. Interesting sidenote, he's 4 for 10 batting lifetime which is more reason to get to the NL. No clue how Cruz is Type A either. Interestingly Lyon is only a Type B so wouldn't cost the Mets a first round pick. |
Rumor is the offer on the table was Heilman and Feliciano for Street and the Mets have pulled it. Don't know why Omar got cold feet on that one with how bad those two were last year.

5:05 p.m. — Mets' trade offer shot down
The Mets, seeking a setup man for new closer Francisco Rodriguez, were rebuffed in their attempt to trade right Aaron Heilman to the Rockies for righty Huston Street. Heilman has drawn interest from more than a dozen clubs. The Mets turned down the Cubs' offer of righty Jason Marquis. It seems inevitable, however, that the Mets will find a match. Street, too, has drawn interest from numerous clubs. The Rockies have yet to receive a tempting offer. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8...-meetings-blog |
